DeNiro Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 https://twitter.com/...271240920260608 Looks like he's been removed from the roster entirely. Meloni is saying it could be related to academic dishonesty and he's not the only one. Pretty curious case and where does that lead them for the rest of the season? I'm sure you can't transfer to another university without being redshirted for at least the rest of the season. Juniors, maybe? Whoa, that's pretty serious then. Looks like he's done at harvard. So he just turned 21, I don't think he can play in the CHL can he? That would be sweet to get him on the Giants or the Rockets though. If not he has to either find another college that will take him, or come play for the wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Wowsa, if it is some sort of cheating situation - he can kiss his academic career goodbye. No Uni will touch him. Would be go back to Jrs or is he AHL eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be go back to Jrs or is he AHL eligible? He's 21 so he's definitely AHL eligible. But I'm not sure if he's ready for the AHL. If not, I don't know how the overager rule works in the CHL in terms of when a player turns 21. That would be awesome to get him playing in the WHL though.

The Canucks cannot sign him right now due to the lockout - so he would need to sign a AHL contract. He could sign with any team he wanted right now - But I assume the Canucks will expect and talk him into another school or AHL contract with the Wolves.

DeNiro Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 From what I have found - no CHL team has his rights. So that means he could choose any CHL team he wants. The only question is whether or not he is eligible to play in the CHL. He can always sign a PTO with the Wolves if he wants to play in the AHL. If he plans on signing with the Canucks, it would make sense for him to play on their farm team. We all know they could use the help on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know they could use the help on D. I am not very well versed in the CHL rules, rights.... etc. My gut tells me - that he *could* sign with any CHL team, but I don't think he will, nor will any team want to bring an overager who has only played 7 games. Also I have no idea about NCAA rights - but I assume he couldn't be able to sign a PTO with the Wolves (or the CHL for that matter), if he intends on returning to school next year (which is hinted as a possibility in the article) Either he is going to go play somewhere for 'free' and go back to Harvard... or he is turning Pro.

DeNiro Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Either he is going to go play somewhere for 'free' and go back to Harvard... or he is turning Pro. I doubt that Harvard would even take him back if he was caught for cheating. Something tells me that they have a 1 strike policy with stuff like that. And I would imagine this is on his permanent school record now. So it would be unlikely any other Ivy League school would take him. His best bet might be to turn pro now.

I do agree - turning pro may be best at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Wow, this might just mess up his development, I think it would have been best for him to spend at least three years in Harvard's system, but now he'll have to go pro if he's kicked out of school. He is excellent offensively so he might just be able to take a spot on the Wolve's blueline to quarterback the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would he really want to go back to that school after being labelled a cheater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Joe Meloni @CHNJoeMeloni McNally has the option to turn pro, but his defensive game isn't exactly ready for the leap yet, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Doubt he's good enough for the Wolves. His cheating will have him in Kalamazoo in not time. What a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Mcnally is ineligible for the CHL as he turned 21 last week Damn, I didn't think he could. That's too bad, because if he could play a year in the CHL, and then a year in the AHL, that would be a good career route IMO. It will be interesting to see what course he takes. I feel bad for him. I mean cheating is obviously wrong, but I can't imagine the pressure on these young guys. Imagine trying to balance a hockey career, while trying to take a full course load at Harvard? It's hard enough for people there without playing hockey. At least he's got a good shot at a hockey career. Connauton's defensive game was very raw when he came into the AHL. It shouldn't hold McNally back. That's what the AHL is for. He can learn to round out his game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyShackleford Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 He cant be any worse than Joslin could he? I say throw him to the wolves and see how it plays out. besides we could use help on the D and does he really have any other choices to where he can play this year. I dont think he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
