    Not unexpected. Neither ever really got a shot here. Best of luck to them. Question now is who gets accelerated (un-delayed might be more accurate) to replace them.

      This makes more sense. So the D-core who actually played remains unchanged (other than Schecter). I thought they were bad to below average at the start of the year and grew to average to slightly above average by the end of the year. Hopefully they can continue that growth to very good in 2017-2018.

        Even league average/good would be acceptable for me. I think with improved goaltending, and offense staying similarly potent, the Huskies should be in good shape next season

                I had the honor and privilege of being one of Jack's early student assistants and can vouch for the fact that it was he, more than any other, who put NU sports on the map in an era when local media coverage didn't extend much beyond Harvard Square and Chestnut Hill. Although I ultimately chose a different career path, the list of Jack's interns and student assistants who went on to make their marks in the sports media business is too long to list. Jack was one of a kind.

                  All three NU alums in the NHL playoffs advance to the second round. Bitetto and the Preds will play STL, while Benning and Manson will face off as EDM plays ANA. Really looking forward to that series. I'm sure Matt and Josh will have some friendly competition going too.

                    ..and in continuing NHL / NU related news.. John Stevens named Head Coach of the LA Kings.

                      Between Jim Benning, John Stevens Sr. and Primeau and Selanne's kids coming in next year, we've had some prestigious hockey dads at NU recently. Congrats to him. Hopefully he is able to coach against his sons at the NHL level.

                        IIRC, Jim Benning is Matt's uncle but your point is still well taken. That kind of pedigree is nice to have.

                          Other NHL-related pedigrees include Jamie Armstrong (Father Bill is STL Director of Scouting), Tyler Madden (Father John played in NHL), and Tyler Spott (Father Steve is current assistant coach for San Jose, longtime OHL coach).

                            I believe I saw John Madden's name circulating around a job recently too. I'd imagine either MTU or as an assistant at Michigan.

                              USHL Draft is tonight. NU has 4 kids eligible, most out of all Hockey East schools, 3 F and 1 D. All four are in SBNation's Top 50 for the Draft. Will be interesting to see where they go to develop - all are 2001 birth years, so earliest they would arrive is 2019.

                              Jayden Struble (D) - Ranked #14
                              Robby Griffin (F) - 18
                              Dylan Jackson - 47
                              Ty Jackson - 48
