Hopefully McLellan, Freeman and Nelson will help provide some physical maturity that seems to be lacking this season. I'm not sold on the S&C program..the Soph and Jr's seem Behind physically where they should be after spending time with a college S&C coach.
I am not impressed with this incoming class. In its current form, I believe its the worst class in Hockey East. This team needs to bring in a couple instant impact guys at the forward position next season.
In addition, I agree with you on the sophomores and juniors. Too many busts for a team that cannot really afford many. In the offseason, I would be surprised if there are not changes to the roster with players not returning.
The team is getting nothing out of Ojantakanen, Golonka (played in the first two games and only one since), Wight, and Segalla. For a BC transfer, Richardson has not given this team much and they are not getting much out of Schwartz. Naas has not been that great either this season.
I personally thought Ojantakanen, Wight, and Schwartz would be having much better years. Wight and Schwartz were a point a game players in the BCHL but here Cavanaugh is not getting much out of them. Other than a little streak with Naas and Ronan last season, Ojantakanen has provided little. I remember Cavanaugh said he would be disappointed if there was not a big improvement with Ojantakanen and Schwartz this season. Well, there has not been.
I would hate to see where this team would be if they did not get fortunate with Masonius and Letunov.
