Early NHL College Free Agent preview for 2025 (#482)
Here are the players I'm watching as potential NHL signings in the 2024-25. Issue #482 also includes a notebook with notes on USHL teams looking to go to the OHL, Wisconsin AD on the House Settlement
Today's issue (#482) features my early NHL college free agent preview for the 2025-26 season. I'm tracking nine skates and seven goaltenders this season as potential NHL free-agent signings.
Also in this issue:
Two USHL teams reportedly approached the OHL about jumping ship and joining their league.
Derek Hines' high school program will play a game at Army this winter.
Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh on how the House settlement will impact Wisconsin's support of athletics (which is a good way to understand how many programs will be impacted by the settlement).
Charlie Baker admitted he didn't know if revenue-sharing will be subject to Title IX.
Mark Divver reported on an injury to Providence forward and Vegas first-rounder Trevor Connolly.
