Van Houtte-Cachero, Lurie and Charbonneau
TSN story mentioned Charbonneau was headed back to the BCHL this year. He's 18. NBD.
Van Houtte and Lurie are still just 19. They've got another year of juniors. So, likewise... NBD. I don't think either will be harmed by another year at those levels. Their numbers last year were solid. We know we're rebuilding next year, so why not hold them off to when they are addition pieces, not the 'circle' players?

There were several portal goaltenders available but they must have passed or Gabinet did.
The elephant in the room is Kucharski. He's still out there. But someone raised the question of why he missed AIC's NCAA game.
Someone also suggested to me that Omaha has a goalie on the line, but that player hasn't secured a release from their current school. That leads me to believe that goalie is not in the portal.
Last night, I suggested I had three names to fill that spot. Research has narrowed it down to two: Kucharski... and someone from a team that grabbed another goalie out of the portal.
