That seems unnecessarily cruel for Burroughs.
Right? Maybe try playing him if you want that energy to spread.

Feels kind of like deja vu from yesterday but Kirill with an assist on the PP to tie the game in the 2nd.

Sid beat me to it lol. With those 4 points McDonough moves in to a tie for 2nd in NCAA in points with 14 currently.

So we offered AHL to a guy, who was 22 amd playing great, when most other top College guys were getting NHL offers? We were pursuing a playoff spot so had no room on our NHL roster, is what I recall 650 talking about.
Anyway, the kid is 23 and ready for the Bigs. Hopefully we sign him to play for the big club after his college season. He’s ready.
You are the only person saying we only offered AHL.
The article I showed you says he was offered an ELC, an NHL contract, and he opted to return to Northeastern because he want to compete for a National Championship and his education is very important to him and his parents.
The article you reference and quote says that they have no idea what is going on during the negotiations, in fact McDonough hadn't even finished last year's NCAA season when that article is written, it says so right in the article. It then goes on to HYPOTHETICALLY SPECULATE that instead of offering an ELC we should give him an ATO because on an ELC he wouldn't of been eligible to play in last years AHL playoffs but if we gave him an ATO then he could play in the AHL playoffs last year, then sign him to a 2 year ELC at the start of this season so we didn't burn a year of his ELC last year.
Need to learn some reading comprehension and lay off the scotch and cats.
You are the only one creating a problem that doesn't exist anywhere else except your head. Here is the article from this fall where McDonough EXPLICITLY STATES his intention is to sign with Vancouver this upcoming spring.

Stop trying to remember whatever thing you think you heard the hacks at SN650 say while you were inebriated. They were wrong and just talking to fill airspace, that's literally their job.

Back to current times, McDonough now up to 3 assists after two periods tonight.

That article suggests an ?AHL offer. “sign an entry-level deal that began at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, he could then sign an amateur tryout deal (ATO) with Abbotsford”
3 minutes ago, Alflives said:Ok, ok, so... context is important here. You conveniently left out the section from the paragraph you quoted where they make it clear they are talking hypothetically with no reference to anything actually being offered by the team.
"Because of McDonough’s age, he’ll be signing a two-year ELC, as prescribed by the terms of the entry-level system. If McDonough were to sign an entry-level deal that began this season, he would burn a year toward unrestricted free agency and be eligible to make his NHL debut over the balance of this season. He would not, however, be eligible to compete for an Abbotsford Canucks team that is playoff bound at the AHL level and seems poised to be a handful, perhaps even a dark horse contender, in the Calder Cup playoffs.
On the other hand, if McDonough were to sign an entry-level deal that began at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, he could then sign an amateur tryout deal (ATO) with Abbotsford and be eligible to participate in the Calder Cup playoffs."

Weird. I've read that article 5 times in the last 10 or so min and don't see that part anywhere in the article from the link I posted. Maybe something is wrong with my browser.

Link? I looked and can’t find this NHL contract offer.
Here's an excerpt from the CanucksArmy article about it:
Vancouver Canucks prospect Aidan McDonough has decided to go back to Northeastern for his senior year of NCAA hockey, according to multiple sources, but first reported by Rick Dhaliwal.The Canucks pushed to sign McDonough to an entry-level contract this season, but ultimately, their top forward prospect has elected to return for his senior year.For the record, an entry-level contract is an NHL contract. -

Tanev played for the Flames last year.
More the fact that do you really think Tanev deserved any vote for the Norris. Most of the voters in PHWA are just homer local broadcasters. They vote for the favorites and then they vote for the local guy to give a boost.
Especially when it comes to the Selke, 39 players received votes for the Selke last year, including Horvat and Miller. Do you really believe that Johnny Gaudreau deserves Selke votes? How about JG Pageau? Rasmus Asplund? David Kampf? Sam Reinhart?
Edit: It's just like voting in politics, it's just easier for voters to vote in the guy that won last time unless there is an absolute new favorite that can't be ignored.

I don't get this. The only reason he apologized is because Sweeney literally made him do it before he was allowed to sign a contract, Sweeney even admitted he had to theaten the kid that if he didn't Sweeney wouldnt sign him. It was the most pathetic and shallow attempt at an apology and only done for his personal gain.
He has shown absolutely no remorse for what he did, only that he got caught, convicted and lost his NHL opportunity (temporarily). He has never accepted any responsibility for his actions and tries to hide behind the "I was young" excuse. Especially when even his own words, in his own, most recent statement try to downplay this as basically a single event, not years of abuse.
"When I was in eighth grade, I made an extremely poor decision (WTF?!?!, note the singular use of the word decision) and acted very immaturely. I deeply regret the incident (Again, SINGULAR) and have apologized to the individual. (For the first time, more than 7 years after his COURT CONVICTION)
BTW, the "apology" was sent as a PM via Instagram.
BEING YOUNG IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR YEARS OF ABUSING SOMEONE!!!

Avalanche regressed tremendously.
Honestly, all due respect to Mackinnon, but Landeskog wears the C on that team for a reason. It's actually really interesting to look at but if you look at only Gabe's point totals since the 2013-14 season, his on ice production directly correlates to Colorado's place in the overall standings. Every time Landeskog has a down year, so do the Avs and when he's hot, they are among the best in the league.
I get that Mackinnon is a big leader on the team, he is with out a doubt their best player (OK, maybe Makar) and, I think, he deserves his new contract. But his point totals don't seem to line up the Avs overall point totals the same as Gabe. They have had good seasons when Mac struggled and have done poorly in seasons when Mac put up decent points.

After going 2 for 3 on the PP last night, the Canucks now have the 4th best PP in the league with 30.7%. They are currently trailing only Colorado 39.3%, Edmonton 34.2% and... Arizona 31.4%???
Avs and Yotes both have only scored 28 goals for this season so far with both scoring 11 on the PP.

With last night's 3 points Connor is back to 3rd in OHL scoring with 21 points in 13 games, his 15 assists are 2nd overall.

Bruce wanted him back but Shaw preferred to go to Philly.“Brad was different. I didn’t want to lose him but obviously he thought he had a better opportunity,” he said. He also indicated that coaching in Philadelphia would be easier for family reasons.
Shaw said he really enjoyed working for Boudreau. He hadn’t really had a role to fill under Travis Green, but under Boudreau he was put in charge of the defence and then later the penalty kill and played a big role in the success the Canucks had over the second half.
“On the family side it really helps being closer to my mother and my in-laws. Both our daughters live on the east coast,” he said.
“I took a job initially I thought I would love but I felt lost. With the coaching change I felt like I had a chance, more functional. I thank Jimmy Rutherford and Patrik Allvin because it gave me a chance to work again,” he told Postmedia from his cottage on Mississippi Lake in Ontario.
Travis Green. The coach that keeps giving.

Well I think without trading dickinson out we wouldn’t have been able to add Bear right
This is true, but it's hard to figure out why we had to give up a 2nd to get rid of a player for only $2.65 mil who has 4 goals and 7 points in 9 games (got 5G, 11P in 62GP here).
Seems like we should of got a 2nd for him
