This is an interesting scene, especially considering Maine is going
to appeal the post-season ban.
 
Each of Maine's 9 seniors will have a choice to make, do they wait
out the appeal and take the risk of it running into the season, which
it appears it will.  Do they wait and just turn pro if the appeal
doesn't work out?  Do they wait and then play regardless because
scouts will still see them play, especially in Boston?  Or do they
transfer now, and assure themselves at least the chance of competing
for a title??
 
I think it's fair to suggest that 4 or 5 players will probably choose
to transfer or go pro in the next month or so, and also fair to
suggest some will wait it out.
