Hey Ryan, yes once you sign an OHL deal you can no longer play NCAA. I'd say Greenfield is the front runner for the job. He wouldn't be brought north if they wanted to give the job to Moylan. Gibson won't be back. Faksa will likely be back. His options are NHL or OHL. Marcantuoni and McEneny are back. Thomson could hit AHL if he inks a deal with Jersey.
