Mike Eaves is beginning to look like he may be the only recognizable face in the team photo next season, after two more Badgers bolt.
As expected coming in to the offseason Wisconsin has lost seven seniors, and will now lose two underclassmen as well. Both Brendan Smith and Cody Goloubef have left the program for the NHL.
Smith announced Thursday that he will sign with the Detriot Red Wings. The Red Wings selected the now former Badger defenseman in the first round of the 2007 entry draft.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have also signed a now former Badger in Goloubef, who announced on Thursday that he signed with the team. The Blue Jackets drafted Goloubef in 2008 entry draft in the second round.
The departures of Smith and Goloubef mark what has been a long offseason for the Badgers. Following the two most recent departures, the Badgers have lost two assistant coaches, seven seniors, and now two underclassmen.
Looks like Eaves may need a bigger smile in next years photo....
