    Re: Transfers thread

    Read this article at the Ice Garden about the two transfers and look what you find in the final paragraph...Clarkson has been secretly cloning one of their best players!

    They are evil...

          Wilson was not wanted by NC St, so he looked to find a new place to play.

              Nbd, typos happen. I think most readers here knew it was Gabel. Very nice article.

                Like Lindsay said it was pretty obvious who you meant. Was kind of teed up though, to take a little shot at the fighting nurses.

                    Lots of conflicting values and emotions on this one...

                    First, I highly doubt that Clarkson did anything against the rules. Further, I've been on campus in Potsdam, and I can assure you it's a likable place.

                    Second, students shouldn't be required to go to grad school at the same place they got their undergraduate degree. In many cases it's quite beneficial to get a second academic perspective on a new campus.

                    And yet...

                    Immediate play transfers also rub me the wrong way. It's yet another case where individual self-interest takes absolute priority over "old fashioned" values like loyalty.

                    Those of us "outside of the room" don't need to know all of the reasons behind a transfer. In general, my feeling is that if the player is required to sit out a year and she still wants to go, the reasons must be compelling. In such cases I'd have no inclination to second guess. But an immediate play transfer? Setting aside current loyalties in that circumstance feels just a little too easy.

                    Legislating against grad student transfers isn't the answer. And I have no hard feelings against Kassidy Sauve for exercising a fully legal option. I just wish loyalty mattered a little more than it currently does -- society wide.

                      Your last sentence is so spot on! Totally agree with you on that point!

                        Did any of the Haters on this Thread think of the following:
                        1. One Lady is from 2 hours away and the other is like 3 hours away compared to 8+. So parents can watch them for the last year of college
                        2. The Womens program is one of the biggest events on campus. Unlike other schools with football, basketball etc. (Mens hockey first, then womens)

                          Right on. One program I know poached both its top forward goal scorer and defenseman goal scorer after they had committed somewhere else.

                              Shhhh. Let's just wait and see if Wisconsin guy realizes 22% of his team's offense came from poaches.

                                Valid points but I don’t believe that decisions to transfer were made on that basis or they would have done so 4 years ago. Both players come from programs that have gone through significant turmoil and maybe a change of scenery for their final year of play is all they need. I could never question either player’s loyalty or commitment to their former programs and would be more inclined to commend them on graduating with their classes.
