CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 college players holding out on contracts ould eventually be a deterent for teams draft. Teams are already hesitant when certain players commit to US colleges, if this becomes a more common trend that Schultz and Hayes started, teams will altogether may start to avoid collegiate players like Russian players, unless they have an absolute agreement the player will sign or that the player will not go to college for too long to hold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Honestly, I don't believe this kid is going to pull a Schultz/Hayes. Like it's been said before, by the time he finishes his NCAA career, there'll likely be a spot for him to slide into on the Canucks blueline. That, and the kid has shown a will to be a Canuck. In fact, he was at this year's Prospect's Camp despite the fact that not only did he not have to be there but he also had to pay his own way to the camp because he's currently on a University team. If that doesn't show his committment to wanting to be with the franchise, I'm not sure what does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 if Maine doesn't start helping hutton i wouldn't be surprised if he opts to leave after this season and just finish his degree virtually/during the summer. It's got to be frustrating for the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I take it Shore is gone and there's nobody else to play with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 shore is still there, but byron and vesey are the only other nhl prospects on the team, and they are all forwards. one third of their team are freshmen and none of their goalies played for them last season (2 are brand new and one didn't play last season; the season before last he played in a grand total of 6 games and had a record of 2 wins and one loss, with .881 sv% and a 2.83 GAA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If things keep going sideways, can he opt out at the end of this season and get some AHL games in at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If things keep going sideways, can he opt out at the end of this season and get some AHL games in at least? yes, in fact he could leave school at any time and go pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I wonder how common a player leaving the team mid season is. I assume he's on a full ride scholarship so he'd have to fork out some cash to finish his degree if he bailed, maybe even to finish this school year. Anyway, for anyone interested, I think his games are on NBCSN again this year. I'm going start downloading some prospect schedules and posting them, I keep missing the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 it's not very common, but it HAS been done a couple of times. Kyle Okposo did it in 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to start his pro career sooner, I suspect any money he'd "lose" no longer getting free tuition would be more than made up by his salary. At this point it's more about having an education for AFTER hockey. Edited October 15, 2014 by J.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wshdrvvn Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 it's not very common, but it HAS been done a couple of times. Kyle Okposo did it in 07 And i believe it was the isles who made that call. apparantly they didn't like how he was being coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 0 points in 4 games. Hopefully he can put up some points soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Bust. In all seriousness, it's a bit concerning because if he doesn't tear it up this year, he will likely head back for a fourth year and have the option to pick his NHL destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 i feel like he's forced into focusing on d-first because of their horrible goaltending so he can't gamble or lead the rush as much as he did last season. i can't help but feel he'll leave the team after this season, or maybe even midseason if this keeps up.

Guest Dasein Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The "Kesler" route of when the going gets tough, pack up and leave? Or Bieksa's "I'm going down with this ship"? Although, this is more about his development. He'll choose what he believes to be best for his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 it's not about loyalty in the NCAA, as you are guaranteed to not play over 4 years and you want to do what's best for your development in that limited timeframe. it's not about pulling a kesler, it's about doing what's best for his future.
