Mason Raymonds team was eliminated 3-2 tonight in triple overtime . Mason Raymond had one assist and it was said that he had many good scoring chances and was the games 3rd star .

That's too bad. Even though it was expected they would have an early exit it would have been nice if they had at least a short playoff run.

Can he join the Moose now? Or does that kind of move make him ineligible to return to the Collegiate ranks? If it's anything like NCAA basketball, he'd be ineligible.

Edit: NVM Draft makes basketball players ineligible.

Apparently Raymonds team did all they could and just fell short and the play by play guy said that Minnesota probably deserved to win this series .

i don't think he has a contract with the nucks, so i would assume he cna't play for the moose.

rahimi has a contract and once his season is over, he'll come to the moose

[Wadim]

Raymond can sign an amateur tryout contract which would allow him to play for the moose without being on the clear-day roster. It would likely end his college career though. Not sure if its a guaranteed loss of eligibility but he would be cutting his school year short if he left which would likely be a sign of him permanently leaving.

Collegate players cannot play pro hockey without losing their eligibility. Major Junior players can re-establish their amateur status by sitting out a year.

Not if their team is eliminated from their junior season. Staal(marc) played for Hartford Wolfpack last season in the playoffs after Sudbury was eliminated. He's playing for Sudbury this year.

Oh and don't worry about Bourdon's stats because his equivalent junior comparison Staal stats are very simular:

Staal

51 GP 5 G 29 A 34 Pts +6 62 PIM


Bourdon

33 GP 4 G 15 A 19 Pts +22 65 PIM (17 in his last game )

[themcleanianone]

do bourdon and staal play in the same league, because if they did these are great numbers for bourdon, to be up there with staal who everyone talks about.

[Cooke_Hart]

No, Bourdon plays in the more offensive QMJHL while Staal plays in the tougher OHL. Bourdon's also expected to be a more offensive player.

I haven't been watching his games so I don't know why his numbers are down. Even offensive defenceman are often at the mercy of the forwards as far as helping the Dman put points on the board. However, with Bourdon's big boom boom I'm surprised he doesn't have more goals from PP time.

I wonder if his confidence is hurting from his time with the Canucks, or perhaps he still has some nagging injuries ...

I wouldn't call the OHL defensive by any means. More goals are scored in that league than any other, the goalies have some of the worst stats in terms of comparison to the other two leagues.

Why is Calgary ranked 16th? Aside from Irving and Boyd, they don't have a lot of quality prospects.

I found that strange too :?

This list obviously includes players who are rookies on their team because Colorado outside of Wolski and Stastny have a terrible crop of players. Pitts isn't amazing either beyound their current stars. I'm refering to junior/college/AHL type players.

Well they got LEtang.

so

Crosby
Malkin
Staal
Fleury
Letang

Letang coulld get 80 points in the NHL one day MAF is a potential allstar, Staal is a 41 goal scorer some day, Malkin could be Bure, and Crosby, well he PWNS ovechkin.

Thought so but I wasn't positive. Thanks for verifying my suspicions. Too bad for Raymond though. Makes for a bit of a tough decision seeing as how well he's doing both academically (won one of the nation's academic awards) and hockey wise. My money's on another year of College, unfortunately, but what do I know? His team sucks and he may want out.

[Cooke_Hart]

Well there's been talk of playing Letang as a forward ...

The general consensus is that the Q is the weakest defensive league.

Like I say though, I haven't seen Bourdon in junior this year so I can't really comment on his numbers. It may mean something, it may mean nothing.

Hes being used as a shut-down d-man with Cape Breton, he was an offensive beast with Moncton because hes wa sbeing used in an offensive role, but cape breton has enough socring punch as is, what they didnt have was bruising shutdown guy, so they brought in Bourdon to mold him into that

Pittsburgh is gonna be scary talented in the next 3 years, how many tiems we play them next years anyone know ansyewre?

and curious: why choose number 41 goals? not 40 or 50? why 41

LOL

[Toxic]

Simek, Shirokov and Raymond are impossible to find good action shots of, my sig choices are running low
