► Newsday’s Arthur Staple spoke with Islanders draft pick and 2016-17 Terrier captain Doyle Somerby at the Isles' development camp about his return for his senior year. In a series of Tweet, Staple wrote:

-Also talked w/ Doyle Somerby, who arrived today. Said #Isles were "very understanding and supportive" of decision to stay at Boston U.

-Somerby could become a FA after next season but says that's not his plan. "Finishing my degree is incredibly important to me and my family."

-Somerby is a journalism major at BU. If hockey doesn't pan out he could join the impressive cast of BU alums on an NHL beat.
