OK, so I only retrieved on post on this Pandalfo thing, and I probably missed half the important information, but this is something I feel strongly about. Lets not chastize Jay (as Greg Weintrab seemed to do) for leaving school 4 weeks early. The way I see it, he should be given credit for sticking around all four seasons and giving BU the chance to repeat (albiet slim seeing that fiasco against Mich !!) How many other players will get the opportunity to play in the NC$$ phinal phour and then go on and play in the Cup playoffs... and the way he started with the Rats, it sounds like he may be there sooner than people think. I applaud Jay, let him go, play the final 1-2 months with whomever and get the experience needed to excel next year, and I'd bet he'll be in a Devil uniform next year, hes got all the tools required, right now, very little development needed. But the real point is, he can come back in the Summer and finish his degree, which I suspect he will. If you had the opportunity to make 80-100k (?) a year BEFORE graduation, who here wouldnt do it, knowing you could come back almost any time and finish your final semester just my $0.02 ...
