Z Hockey Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Unreal... All this wasted talent having to settle for overseas, Sheppard still had potential too, former 9th overall pick stunted by injuries. Needed another chance, there was no room for him with the Jackets, their depth chart is why he was released from his PTO. Saad-Johansen-N.

theo5789 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Expansion can't come soon enough for guys like this. Two more teams will result in 46 more jobs for guys like him to compete for. Why water down the league? There's already teams purposely tanking, so no need to keep playing players that cannot keep up. Having these players who could actually be star players in lower league can boost hockey in those respective countries which could bring more world interest in the game. This could lead to more interest in new players and develop more talent around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
