This is not totally correct. Brown lost the high scoring line of Mark
Fabbro-Kelly Jones-Chris Kaban, which used to take a lot of pressure
off the Eric Trach-Brian Jardine-Ryan Mulhern line (and vice-versa).
The loss of a second high-scoring line necessitated a change into a more
defensive style (but fortunately not into the clutch-and-grab style
favored by some ECAC coaches). Brown also lost two unheralded, but
very solid defensemen: Mark Shaughnessy and Brendan Whittet (currently
a volunteer assistant coach at Brown). In sum, Brown lost six seniors,
all of whom were top performers for Brown.
