Nope Ellis to return over the board retweets an Andy Siverman tweet saying Ellis will return

Yeah, about that...

UML's Boyle was being scouted by Edmonton too but ultimately signed with Anaheim. Looks like Oilers moved on to Ellis after losing out on Boyle.

Great move for Nick. So does PC move up Mollot-Hill to next season?

It's an interesting situation

If you bring him in you more or less match Ellis's scholly
You don't to get a viable backup you minimally need some of Ellis's scholly but the following year you potentially have 3 goalies on scholarship, more money then you want tied up in goalies and with the guys lined up a potential issue--Hawkey and his future replacement will fit into this puzzle too. You really don't want 3 goalies on scholarship at once. It killed Army when he had Gates Simpson and Beudry all at once

Where is the third goalie getting money? I would think they bring in a walk on as a third stringer again, did they have another commit besides Mollot Hill? Did I miss a goalie commit?

Plus these commits are only verbals until their sign LOI

If you are suggesting a 2nd walk on beside Leahy for next year you are putting the full burden on Hawkey. That is a gamble (and one I might take to juice up the forwards). That is one option

This whole thing just got a bit more complicated Kyle Koopman just committed he will grad from Bershire in'17 not sure if he will come in fall '17 or '18 but that eats more scholly money

They are not going to carry three scholarship goalies..I think they take the Molloy-Hill kid now and see if Hawkey signs after next year. Could be a reverse Gillies situation with Northeastern

I meant 17-18 season. Defer Koopman for a year to the juniors as Hawkey likely shouldn't have a senior year? There is ways around it.

He appears to be a smallish (5'10" 170) defenseman and twin brother of Northeastern recruit Matt Koopman who is due to enroll in 2017. Kyle doesn't sound like a typical strapping PC D. I wonder what makes him attractive to Leaman and why NU didn't recruit him.

Sorry to hear about Ellis leaving (sort of). He was impressive. Looked like a bear guarding her cub when he was in goal. It's going to be hard to recognize the Friars next year with all of the new names in the lineup.

He is no smaller then all but one of the Dmen of the future and will be noticeably bigger then Jacob Bryson who will be one of hose unrecognized Friars next year. He's a puck mover which is the quality Leaman values. As a north shore kid maybe Hokey could chime in why PC not NU

Ellis will be missed because he was a known, but if read below there is little concern with Hawkey, he's looked good when he did play.

Jake Walman, first team All American and Mark Jankowski, second team. More honors for the Friars! Tampa is fun.

The Heisenberg site is reporting that Kyle and Matt Koopman will be heading to Providence.
