            Congrats on a great year and a deep run in the tourney. UMD has a great team; nothing to hang your head over.

              And as expected, Cale Makar signs with the Avalanche with an entry level contract:

                Made the following post on umasshoops, but figured I would share it here as well:

                Unreal run by the guys this year. With this amazing season now in the books, one thing we can do to pass the seemingly endless time that is the offseason is talk about how the team will shake out for next year. Cale is obviously gone, along with Boeing, Keats, and Pritchard, but I think (and hope?) that we can expect most of the team back. For forward lines and D pairs, that leaves (based on the lines to end this season):

                Chau-Gaudet-Chaffee
                Trivigno-Lagunov-????
                Leonard-????-Hildenbrand
                ADG-Suter-????

                MDG-????
                Ferraro-Farmer
                McLaughlin-Felix

                Incoming, it seems that we have the following guys for sure coming in...

                Forwards: Jeremy Davidson, Reed Lebster, Ryan Sullivan, Peyton Reeves, Eric Faith
                Defense: Zac Jones, Gianfranco Cassaro

                Then there are the following names that still appear to be committed but I haven't seen or heard much about recently (maybe someone else [FTT? Marshmont?] can confirm their status)...

                Forwards: Marko Reifenberger, Alex DiPaolo, Khristian Acosta
                Defensemen: Jayson Dobay

                Bobby Kaiser, who was pretty effective in limited action at the beginning of the season, will also be back. And, given the success he has had with grad transfers the past two seasons with Rufo and Pritchard, there is always the possibility that Carvel goes that route again too.

                So, with these seemingly the options to work with, my best guess as of today would be something like this for lines and defense pairings:

                Chau-Gaudet-Chaffee
                Trivigno-Lagunov-Leonard
                Lebster-Davidson-Hildenbrand
                ADG-Sullivan-Kaiser

                Ferraro-Farmer
                McLaughlin-MDG
                Jones-Felix

                These D pairs would provide a little more balance in terms of one offensive-minded defenseman and one more stay-at-home guy. If Carvel wanted to keep the McLaughlin-Felix pair together as a third pairing, could use MDG-Jones as a pure offense pairing as well. I think Ferraro, assuming he stays, will explode next year.

                Going with these lines, that leaves the following names as scratches: Suter, Mika, Faith, Reeves, Bozzo, Vegara, Cassaro

                There is also obviously the possibility that we see some unexpected departures, whether to the NHL or kids leaving due to an expected lack of future playing time, etc. Sounds like we are one of the finalists to land Gunnar Fontaine too, a forward who would presumably be coming next year and would be a big get. So we will see what happens there. All in all, there is a lot to look forward to next year, and I would love to see any thoughts y'all have on the future roster composition, or any thoughts in general on the 2019-2020 season. Go UMass!

                  Makar scores his first NHL goal in first period of his first game on his first shot.

                    And great line by the commentator (I think it was Ray Ferraro): "I don't know what he dreams about, but it can't be any better than this!" And cool shot of his parents in the stands; his Dad taking pictures with his phone with the "UMass" sticker on the back.

                          An astonishing 72 hours for Cale Makar. I'm so glad I stayed up to watch last night's first period. Awesome.
