The Warriors have been quiet in the men’s hockey transfer portal through the first week—and that comes as little surprise. Last week, it was announced that Merrimack will return 18 players from this past season’s Hockey East championship team.

As noted earlier this week, seven Warriors entered the transfer portal, but only one of those players — Filip Nordberg — was in the lineup during the stretch run.

Here’s how it breaks down: Green indicates a returning player, while red denotes a player departing via the transfer portal, graduation, or an NHL signing.

Which brings us to the next logical question: How many spots do the Warriors actually have to fill?
