Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

It’s not about teasing if you know the sport and all the stuff involved guys are not leaving to go play in the AHL if they have an opportunity to play at s high level D1 program ... so outside of Fabbro that will be the case ...I’m not convinced oettinger was leaving ... as for not jumping to conclusions as it relates to the hockey ops resignation I don’t see how one cannnot , given what’s happened this week rather than make excuses those who support and love this program should want solutions not excuses ... I’ll say it again Colby Cohen didn’t publicly say what he said to be dramatic there are likely good reasons he did I’m just looking at the facts out there staring us all in the face

So you're speculating...I mean, you can't have it both ways. Either you KNOW something or you're guessing.

From a first-hand source, I can tell you that the Stars management wanted Jake to sign last Spring, but agreed to wait one more year. And a friend who sat next to Jake's parents at an early-season game learned the same information about his graduation track and plans to turn pro after this season. Stars signed Colgate's Colton Point last Spring and he had a disappointing season, primarily in the ECHL so Dallas was even more anxious to get their expected successor to Bishop into the team's development system.

Players literally do this all the time (Ian McCoshen, Danton Heinen, and Brian Strait are examples off the top off my head), because they think moving to the next level is what is best for their long term career path (or maybe they want to make money for a change).

Each of those examples have different sets of circumstance (what teams promised them , burning of elc , winning a national championship etc) guys leaving off the year BU had and each with less that stellar seasons (outside of Fabbro and oettinger -farabee had a nice second half but has a lot of growth needed in many ways ) does give pause (Heinen was a stud coming off national championship for example )

If you say so .....

So you’ve been posting on this board for what? Teo weeks? Clearly you are only here to intimate something, as evidenced by that sarcastic response. You’re not going to tell us. Fine. I’ll believe it when it happens then.

None of those 3 burned a year of their ELC, and Heinen played for Denver and turned pro after 2016 (North Dakota won the national title in 2016), but you seem like you have lots of good info.

Unfortunately without knowing specific reasons behind a resignation, some here are very quick to make assumptions and jump to conclusions that may or may not be accurate.

Clearly she was sexually harrassed!

(I agree with you)

Maybe this person is just getting out of the business.

What did I say would Happen im making an objective analysis of the situation given many facts ... as for oettinger it’s no secret the stars wanted to sign him you don’t need a source he talked about it openly in his interview with the Athletic before the season... yes Colton Point not having a great year but he was signed as a highly touted prospect and yes goalies do take longer to develop but there was a log jam developing in Dallas with point and others and of course khudobin and bishop I’m. I’m not saying he wasn’t leaving I just don’t believe it was as certain as being made

The cost of the sport and the fact that kids have more athletic options. Those, plus the birth rate has fallen.

Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

Also maybe Albie had someone else in mind for that position

[J.D.]

He's welcome to refute my opinion on the matter, but I have from a very trusted source that Jake is on track to graduate. So if he wants to refute that a 1st round pick who played 3 years, worked to graduate early, and has become one of the best in the nation at his position is leaving solely because his coaching is bad, I'm all ears.

3 years is the going rate for these types of goalies. Just like Demko and Woll for BC.

Len Quesnelle out. Albie probably just wants his own people in place.

I'm not surprised. Coming off a year like that, some change must be made at a staff level. Pearl would make no sense to let go, so Quesnelle was unfortunately the one.

Though I'm not sure how the changing the DOHO position would apply there if it's an administrative position.
