Yes, I heard that one of our veteran defensemen left early and
unexpectedly during the off season.  This, combined with a focus on
offense, leaves us a bit lacking in the defensive end.  I expect we
will see a couple of "defensive" forwards converted to the position,
maybe one of the the Bavis twins?  [speculation]
 
From what I have heard, they do have a very talented defensemen who
will become available in January.  [Ineligible this semester.]  If BU
can shore up what they have until that time, they will be vying for
the Hockey East title again this year.
 
[I can get more specific information, if needed.]
 
Of course, the forwards are the ones to look out for when playing BU,
especially given the depth of the 3rd and 4th lines.  I expect to see
a few high scoring matches on both sides for BU this year.
