I dont get it either as it seems like a dangerous loophole that can hurt a team. Educations though are important so idk leave it up to interpretation

Like if Buffalo was not gonna show a step up to success imagine Power going yeah Im just gonna play out my remaining years and go join someone else

Not a good look. But that will never happen


Like, only college players choose to let their rights expire and sign somewhere else, I get that they may not want to go to the team that drafted them but we've never seen CHL, European or others do that and some of them probably don't want to go to the team that drafted them

Let's hope not. I also believe that in some cases with high end NHLers it not worth it but someone who could go back and forth between NHL, AHL, and maybe even ECHL having a degree could change their outcome later on in life when it come's to managing their money or working remote. Im not a huge advocate for College degrees, personally think they are pointless for a high percentage of the population but it it's personal preference.


BTW, what are your thoughts on Mattias Samuelsson?

Absolute Star Defensive Dman. If i wanted to be really really optimistic id say he could become something like a Slavin. Probably not going to be Slavin realistically but he doesn't get beat, I don't think ive ever actually seen a forward beat him 1 on 1. He's a stud on the PK already out number 1 pk defender, plays big minutes, good leadership ability(captain on WJ Gold team). Only real lack right now is the fact that he isn't an amazing offensive threat, but as a rookie that could come. I think he's our #2LD next year..think Power probably is the #3LD unless Dahlin partners with Power. Sabres are stuck with a similar hedman, Sergachev, mcdonough problem IMO...

Yeah now you understand why he’s one of the untouchables. I’d rank him with Hintz just below Miro, JRob and Otter.

This is why it’s bad to trade firsts people. Was supposed to be a capital.

Nah if the Caps were still picking there we’d still be stuck with the Panik contract and MacLellan probably would have gone defense and picked someone other than Iorio in round 2.

Edit: actually they probably wouldn’t have picked Lemay, WSH would still go defense with the first 3 picks

i see we have the same ideology about trading first-round picks

(maybe it's because i root for Cleveland sports teams so i'm used to my 1sts being in the top 5/top 10)

The only offensive player they picked was hank. Which is unfortunate because Roy was right before him. It just sucks to see him succeeding which makes the vrana trade worse. I’d rather have panik than kempny

I wouldn’t hate seeing him go straight to the ECHL first to get his feet wet in NA but nonetheless so awesome to see him here.

Should be a capital I, Porl isn’t a city, Pori is

It looks correct on Joonas Korpisalo's profile (lowercase i), so yeah it has to be a capital I

although "Porl" would have been funny

Real excited about this kid. Hoping for Parker Ford as well. And Jordan Harris if Montreal can’t convince him to sign. Regarding Ovchinnikov though, you Leafs fans should be excited for this kid. He was one of my draft gems a couple of years ago.
