Note III: It was a newsy day when it comes to prospects as we learned earlier today that 2025 1st rounder Sascha Boumedienne is leaving Boston University and entering the NCAA transfer portal to go to another school next season. Speaking of college hockey, the Jets also announced that they had signed prospect Garrett Brown (2022 4th) to his two-year ELC. He will join the Moose on an ATO for the rest of the season. Sticking with the defencemen theme, we also learned that Elias Salomonsson remains in concussion protocol after failing a test two days prior.
