Offseason 2023

Mason Klee (D, RPI) is in the portal, but I suspect he'd like to go to North Dakota, where his brother will be a freshman. Would be nice to get the son of a Falcon tennis player, though.

For as crummy a season it's been for the ccha, there's still a chance to put 3 teams in the national tournament. Northern has to win their way in, and Minnesota State would need some help from the right teams losing. Tech is already a lock since they're so high up in pairwise.

It looks like from the Pairwise Predictor that Northern/Mankato is a winner take all situation now.

There is no path into the NCAA tournament for MSU with a loss. At best they finish.0002 points behind Alaska which is kind of ironic….. Of course we know what it’s like to finish 1,000ths of a point out of a spot..LOL.

The program officially confirmed his signing this morning.

Gonna be a lot of new faces next year.

There's currently 4 freshman D committed for next season, and 1 for the following. 4 committed for up front with 1 for the following season. As of now, losing 4 D and 7 up front. None of which has been a surprise (well, maybe Collin). 3 spots available for either a late commit or through the portal.

Here's what I have for rosters going forward. I don't have Swankler listed for next year (I don't want to jinx it). Corrections appreciated. Go Cats!

Missing Nick O'Hanisain as a defenseman starting next season.

FWIW, Mike McMahon posted in his blog that some surprising underclassmen will be entering the portal on Monday. From the sounds of it there should be some talent available.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Updated per pdt. I still have Swankler off the list. The Northeastern fans on USCHA are saying some of their guys are portal bound which ties in with JPs comment.

On defense, with 4 freshmen we probably need some added stability as Parker and Norris can't play 60 minutes. Up front, I'm not sure where the goals are coming from though I do like keeping Pfoh/Grant/Emerson together so we could probably use some portal help there too.

If they’re here, I trust O’Hara and Scardina to score goals next year.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

I'm concerned that O'Hara needs Swankler to set him up.

[jpfalcon09]

Going to need to be a team that will have to work hard defensively to limit goals against. On paper, that roster isn't going to get it done in the goal scoring department. Eigner's future is going to rest on how well he can recruit the portal, what kind of talent they bring in, and how quickly everyone can mesh

One of Miami State's better players, Joe Cassetti, is in the portal with fifth year of eligibility remaining. He was 10/5/15 last year and played part of his freshman year at Merrimack.

Red Savage, too. Detroit pick.

Seriously?? I haven't seen that one come across yet. That is HUGE on multiple fronts. He's arguably their best player.

Princeton F Spencer Kersten is headed to Bowling Green. He has 38pts in 93 career games.

Ivy League programs don't allow for graduate students to play athletics. High water six goals in 2021-22. Meh.
