RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?

[jericho]

No, I didn't mention anything about food. Also, I forgot to mention that I suggested that they update the intro video before the players take the ice with newer clips that include current players

That’s RPITV

Today is 25 April 2019. There are 163 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 5 October 2019 for the start of next season.

Re: RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?

We had 28 players last season, 16 forwards, 9 defenseman, and 3 goalies. That's counting Moore as a D.

Burke left. Perry, Wiffen, Moore, and Grant graduated. Hayhurst is leaving. I will assume that reports of Ott and Harris leaving a correct. That brings us to 12, 6, and 2.

Thus we need 4, 3, and 1 to keep the same distribution. Miller is the new goalie. That part is simple. We had LOIs signed by 4 forwards (Ashbrook, Dubinsky, Herrman, McIsaac) and 4 defensemen (Babichuk, Davies, Klee, and Kjellberg). Since then one more forward (Mahshie) and one more defenseman (Helsen) have entered the mix. All but McIsaac and Davies among the originals have appeared in the directory, as has Beaton, previously assumed to be coming in 2020.

My guess is that the new forwards are Ashbrook, Dubinsky, Herrman, and Mahshie, and the new D are Babichuk, Klee, and Helsen. If others leave, then I think that Kjellberg and Beaton are also coming. I suspect that McIsaac and Davies won't be coming until 2020.

These are all just my thoughts.

With Calvaruso added and Davies now in the directory, things have changed again. Calvaruso is probably coming instead of Miller. As to the defense, I have the feeling that someone else is leaving and it apparently isn't Reilly.

That would be one of Samec, Bear, Hallbauer, Johnson and Ferner. I really liked the freshmen so I hope they are all returning. Samec has improved each year but he was a 21 year old freshman so I wonder if he came in with enough credits to graduate this year.

Samec does seem the most likely. Of course, a couple of the supposed incoming players could defer. Babichuk and Helsen must come now. Anything else is possible. Someone on Finish Your Check posted that Klee might return to Sioux Falls, but I doubt it. He is IMHO more ready that Kjellberg or Davies,

Having heard CCT's Tony Collins speak at a BizLab event last week (he was engaging and it was easy to see what kind of leader he is), I'm tempted to tune in to SAJ to compare and contrast the two. But doubt I will !! Ha

I hope that she doesn't expect to see any hockey games at the EMPAC.

I’m looking forward to spending my next 4 years at RPI! #rpi2023 @rpi can’t wait for next semester and for college hockey �� pic.twitter.com/eWVUiRcmvD

I see the Times-Union Center in Albany will be hosting one of the NCAA regional tournaments in 2020.

Glad to know that the ice will be used for more than just the Mayor's Cup next season.

Calling what the TUC considers ice is a stretch, to say the least ...

Here's a Doomsday scenario to pass some time:
With Leaman said to be kicking pro tires in Ottawa and Buffalo ...Mongo could leave Union for Providence...Mayotte could go to SLUt as HC, and ......wait for it....... BENNY BARR goes to Union !!! The Revenge Tour 2020!!! Ha haaaaaaa...Knowing our luck, it'll happen.
