Next year we lose our entire first line and 3 of the highest scorers in all of Hockey and the Hobey winner, we are replacing them with stellar talent, but they will all be young. There is a huge physical difference developmentally between an 18yo and a 20yo.
If you didnt mention it, I wouldnt know who won the championship, still grumpy about it, and wont watch another game until Nov. I dont even know who they played
Agreed on the whole, I hate bringing in 20/21 year old FR. Think the excuse of "that's the only way we can compete" is bullshit.
Due to a lot of reasons this team was extremely young, York called it his youngest ever. Not only is this team annually very young age wise (think it's 7 years in a row?) but this year's team was young experience wise as well. Unfortunately the JR/SO year classes had a lot of whiffs in it. Of the top 9 F by the end of the year 5 were FR. The 3 top D were FR, FR, & SO. Then obviously you have the youngest player in college hockey between the pipes.
Next year's team is going to be just as young/even younger with the top recruiting class in the country coming in.
