Plenty of those who have transferred have completed the college hockey roundabout, with new homes after days to weeks.
Then again, a few key names still have not selected new threads, with three key ones listed here.
3. Philippe Fontaine, Forward, Lindenwood University
Three years of eligibility remain for the now sophomore, who has 21 points in 30 games with the Lindenwood Lions.
He is one of many Lions to enter the portal.
A native of Quebec, he closed his final junior season in the QMJHL in impressive fashion, contributing 70 points before heading here to the NCAA.
2. Jaxson Ezman, Forward, Princeton University
Although just one year of eligibility remains for Ezman, his addition will spring an offense into a different level.
Ezman found a different level of confidence with Princeton in his senior year, achieving a career high in goals (11) and assists (15).
Don't think this is the momentum shift the announcers were looking for...

1. Justin Poirier, Forward, University of Maine
There is no question that this is the name everyone is waiting on
A freshman who was wildly impressive jumping from the QMJHL, many believe Poirierâs recent surgery plays a part in the long delay, according to Mike McMahon.
Have had several people reach out re: Maine (F) Justin Poirier and why he hasn't posted in the transfer portal. As was reported, he recently underwent surgery. Not sure if that caused a delay. But sources say he will be posted soon. No indication he's returning to Maine.
