BU Gets Another Blueliner
Avon Old Farms Big Man Patrick MacGregor to Join Terriers in the Fall
According to a US Hockey Report story (which you will need a log-in to read) Jack Parker and his band of recruiters have landed a significant freshman for the fall to take the place of the Big Three Defenseman BU lost this off-season.
Patrick MacGregor, who weighs in at 6'4" and 210 pounds, spent the past two seasons skating for Avon Old Farms. According to the story on USHR, MacGregor brings "size, strength, and the ability to both clear out in front and get the puck out of his end efficiently."
It sounds like MacGregor could be a solid addition to a defnsive corps that often focuses too much on scoring goals as opposed to preventing them. It seems as if te coaching staff may be looking to replace the big, stay at home presence that Gryba brought to the table.
Along with rising sophomore Max Nicastro, who also is a defense first defenseman, the Terriers seem to be suring up the defense in front of Kieran Millan fairly effectively. MacGregor will come to BU along with fellow defenseman Adam Clendening. That's still two to replace three departing blue-liners, but the situation just improved dramatically for BU.

What Will the 2010-2011 Team Look Like?
After the departure of two more high profile Terriers, the exodus from Commonwealth Avenue is up to a grand total of six players, three of whom had a year of remaining elegibility remaining.
BU's Captain, Kevin Shattenkirk, their leading point scorer and assistant captain, Nick Bonino, and their best scoring defenseman, Colby Cohen, all signed pro contracts instead of playing out their senior years at BU.
Add to that the guys who are graduating in May. The undeniable heart, soul and physical presence of the team, Eric Gryba, the team's leading goal scorer, Zach Cohen, and the best penalty killer, Luke Popko have all moved on.
Six vital pieces of a team that didn't even look all that great with all those players in the lineup. It's the peril of college athletics, and of being in the national spotlight as one of the nation's most prominent teams. After winning a national championship, you're bound to lose some talent, and by god have the Terriers lost plenty over the past two off-seasons. Don't forget that Colin Wilson could have been playing at BU all the way through 2011. Even that is a distant memory now.
So what remains for the Terriers? Who will be there to pick up the pieces for a team ravaged by the NHL?

Shattenkirk's Departure, Along with Cohen and Bonino Jumping Ship, Leaves a Big Hole

Shattenkirk, Colby Cohen Sign With the Avs
Terriers Defensmen To Skip Senior Season
Add Shatty and Colby to the growing list of Hockey East players to jump ship from college to the pros. Both signed entry level pro contracts with the Colorado Avalanche saturday, and will report to the team's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie monsters.
For the second straight season, the Terriers have lost their senior captain to be to the pros a year too soon. This time around, they also happened to lose their best goal-scoring defensmean in Cohen.
The two star blue-liners join former Assistant Captain and leading point scorer Nick Bonino in the pros. Bonino bolted for Anaheim, where he has already registered an NHL goal.
Losing three rising seniors to the pros from a team that often seemed desperate for leadership as it was is, needless to say, a tremendous blow to BU's chances in 2010-2011.
Plenty more perspective on this to come shortly.

See Ya Later, Shatty

You Too Colby. And I Was Just Starting to Like You.
