As initially rumoured back on July 22nd, Leafs fourth round pick in 2014 JJ Piccinich is withdrawing from Boston University to play for the London Knights next season. The Knights originally drafted Piccinich in the sixth round of the OHL draft in 2012.

Despite the Terriers’ team success, Piccinich struggled at Boston University last season with a limited role in terms of ice time and offensive opportunity, and ultimately little in the way of production (four points in 25 games).
