Canuck Surfer Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 LOL, Eichel wont wait an extra 3 years to join the NHL, spurning millions of dollars, to burn Buffalo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Columbus should have tried to sign him earlier. At least we got our 4th rounder signed. It says in the article that as long as a prospect remains in school, the team only retains the rights to the player. Now that he's decided to leave school, the team only had 30 days to get it done. Not much time, I'd say. This seems a bit like a dick move by Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Monahan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It would suck, but after Murray's public sobbing it would be karmic if that were to happen. I think that's one of the reason's why Murray has signed a couple of Eichel's old teammates. Murray realizes that he put everybody in an awkward position. He wants to entice him out of college and into a contract. Speaking of awkward and/or funny.... http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/jack-eichel-fitted-for-sabres-shirt--awkwardness-ensues--video-164328056.html Haha honestly, this is exactly what I hoped would happen after the way Murray acted. Nothing against the Sabres prior to this, and I can't say there's really anybody on the roster I hate, but the way Murray all but openly tanked and then cried about not getting the first overall really pissed me off. I'd be embarrassed as a Canucks fan if a GM of ours ever pulled crap like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 LOL, Eichel wont wait an extra 3 years to join the NHL, spurning millions of dollars, to burn Buffalo... i remember almost EVERY analyst saying the same thing about Lindros and recently Schultz. While i dont think Eichel would do that. Anything is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Highly doubt an American chooses a Canadian market; Chicago or minny makes sense Considering he's from Minnesota I wouldn't be surprised to see him land there. Columbus could offer a lot of PT though so they may very well still be in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they table a max elc in that time why doesn't he have to sign with his team? Is it just he waits out the rest of the 4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Demko doesn't get any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Someone should sign him then trade him back to Columbus for Rychel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Someone should sign him then trade him back to Columbus for Rychel. That would be hilarious. Be better if the gm's had enough of this crap and all got together and made a deal to sign these guys and trade em back for a their last pick in the draft.

If he really didn't want to be playing for Columbus, he should've asked for a trade early on. This is just a dick move on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that time has passed and he's only 3 months from being able to go anywhere, why not wait? I'd probably do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using your logic, should the 9th round pick pout and not sign with the team that passed over him 8 times? Along with the other NHL teams? Obviously, they're not loyal... I think it's more that time has passed and he's only 3 months from being able to go anywhere, why not wait? I'd probably do the same Reilly had some 3-4 years to decide if Columbus was right for him and instead of letting Columbus know that he doesn't want to be there earlier, he decides to tell them NOW that he wants to be a free agent? Team had only 30 days to negotiate with him. Hardly fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 'the hometown discount' ... the player still ultimately believes its his best option after weighing all his variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean why isn't he forced to sign with the team that drafted him if they made a max offer.. I think I get it.. Because he just holds out and waits for 4 years to be up. I guess anyone could decline a contract they just don't get to play hockey in North America for 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they're not loyal... The canucks never drafted burrows but they were the team that ultimately gave him a chance? I'm sure that evokes a sense of loyalty in him and the team didn't even have to invest a draft pick in him, unlike the situation with mike Reilly.
