Re: RPI 2018 Off-Season: The Hunt for Red October
Assuming we're right in our conjecture, I'm a little surprised at a couple of those leaving - and those staying. I usually (but not always) know if someone is not playing because they're injured or sick or if they're just a healthy scratch, so I'm looking at that together with the number of games played to try to get an idea of how much Dave Smith values each player. Based on that, I would have thought that Emil Ohrvall was probably safe, and maybe Charlie Manley as well. On the other hand, I'm a little surprised (though very pleased on a personal level) that Meirs Moore made the cut. Possibly his two-way play at the end of the season was a saver for him. And I consider it a possibility that Emil chose to leave if Jesper was cut.
As for Chase Perry, does the fact that he's drafted and already transferred once come into the decision? Would it be a real transgression to cut someone in that situation? Just speculating.
