Left MSU to join Sarnia earlier this year, with only 6 games to go, he just quit...

 

"Michigan State defenseman Mitch Eliot decided to leave the team earlier in the week to sign with Sarnia of the major junior OHL. The move came with just six games left in the regular season, which only added to Spartans' head coach Danton Cole's dismay.

"At this point of the season, it would've been nice if he wanted to leave to finish," Cole said. "If you want to leave early in the year, that's one thing, but six games to go and the Michigan weekend (coming up), it's an odd time.

"But we'll deal with it. We want the guys in the locker room who want to be in the locker room. If they don't want to be here, get the hell out of here. If that's where your head's at — it's hard enough winning when everyone's on the same page. So, you know what, our locker room is better."

coach sounds like a jaded wiener. Normally coaches are happy for kids to move on to better things.

Kinda surprised they sign this kid but not brassard...

Brassard they will likely sign in the off-season to avoid burning a year (2018-19) off the contract. His deal can’t slide, but they can still get him for 3 years (2019-20 through 2021-22) if they wait and sign him to a contract effective next season.

 

With Mitch Eliot, it’s pretty much standard practice to sign 20/21 year old undrafted free agents during the season and have them burn a year off their deal (since they’re too old to slide) and let them collect ELC signing bonuses while they finish out their overager year in junior.

We had a decent pt producing D in the past we chose not to sign, so Im not shocked that we signed someone else vs a recent canuck pick. I hope we sign Brassard but JB has shown that he will pass on signing his own picks and choose to sign an undrafted overager like Sautner or Eliot
