Additionally, it appears as if Jack Campbell is also going to not sign his LOI and go to the OHL (Windsor, in his case, I think). Which is obviously awful news for the future of the hockey team.

Well, there you go. RichRod has some value after all. If he weren't such an incompetent buffoon, no one would know Michigan had a pretty good punter.
