I didn't really see a "defection" to the pros for BU this year.  It is my understanding
that they lost seven players, only two of which were in the top line, and Drury graduated,
so I wouldn't call that a defection.  I know Poti left early (I'm unsure about Silvia).  Am
I missing some players?  This sounds pretty average to me for a team.  UNH lost
Mowers and Nolan to graduation and Bekar left early, I wouldn't call that a "defection
to the pros" either.  This may very well be a transition year for BU, but not because they
lost a lot of players.
