Ugh.  Michigan loses three integral parts of next year's team, Miami loses
Robitaille, and I read in the most recent edition of The Hockey News that
Mike Watt will likely leave Michigan State.  Anyone want to take
guesses/predictions concerning the balance of power in the CCHA next year?
I think it will be between Miami, MSU, and LSSU, with MSU probably the
favorite, although if Miami can replace Robey's offense, look out.
