    Parity is the new norm; BU making it to the NCAAs every year will hopefully return to being the norm. It's trending that way and if they keep giving themselves a chance, they'll return to the FF sooner than later. #BUffalo2019

          Seems the author is spitballing there a little bit, and certainly not listing those names in order - I'd find it very difficult to believe Rick Bennett is the third-ranked candidate for the job. Though you have to think any NHL GM looking for a collegiate coach is going to be giving Monty a call before anyone else.
          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            No, I'd think Bylsma, Sutter, Roy, etc. are the most likely candidates before any college coaches.

                May not be a hockey-related reason as to why Weiss may end up elsewhere.

                  Was after the tweet I posted which was directly quoted by Cox's tweet which I saw first. Weiss is no where near as big of a name as Wahlstrom.

                    No but I know he was thought of as a pretty good recruit. Not sure if his stock has dropped or if it's academics etc

                      Wait I'm confused, is speculating about the academics of kids still not okay or is it fine now?

                        Who is this directed at? What I said was innocuous and wasn't meant to imply that it's an academic issue. I'm including all possibilities.

                          Of the 4 NDTP forwards currently committed to BU for next year, the general ranking appears to be: Farabee, Wise, Weiss, DeBoer. But that is sort of looking at offensive stats and NHL draft rankings which wouldn't give as much weight to a guy who may bring the intangibles and be a 4-year guy. I don't know if Weiss or DeBoer would fall into that sort of category.

                            ALso, I believe all 4 forwards signed their NLOI. Does that mean that neither side can break the deal unilaterally? Meaning it would have to be a mutual agreement (unless it's for academics, which I am sure is spelled out in the NLOI - you have to get in to the school).

                              I think indirectly directed at you but more directed at those here who questioned another poster who, out of the blue, questioned Brady Tkachuk's academic standing for no apparent reason and said something about him having a rich father to fall back on. Or something like that. People here took that poster to task for randomly brining up Tkachuk's grades without any reason to and then you mentioned academics in a completely innocuous way

                                I did see somewhere that the decision was not hockey related-
                                Also I see emergence of Big 10 and NCHC as leading conferences will lure more top recruits
                                BU is not scheduled as I see it so far to play any of those teams next year
                                Good to play ECAC teams but need a better mix on schedule
