Thread: If it looks like they are not signing whats the asking price
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aero_Astro_Guy</b></div><div>If McBain does not sign, he walks as a FA. Thus, there is no price for him.</div></div>

But by all accounts it sounds as if he'll sign.

Per Pronman;
"Jack McBain, C, Canada (Minnesota): McBain is a big forward with some skill who is highly competitive and great around the net, but his skating has never been his strong point. McBain is a senior at Boston College, where he’s having an excellent season. <strong>While sources I’ve talked to believe he will sign with Minnesota once this season is up</strong>, teams have been watching his situation closely this season to see if they have a chance of signing him as a free agent. A strong Olympics for McBain could stir his situation even more."

Thread: Copp for Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aero_Astro_Guy</b></div><div>An untouchable prospect who is not getting moved.
drmantalban we really need size. Our prospect pool, i d say, is relatively small and McBain stands out in a crowd. Also, he is one of the best NCAA centers and I would not be happy to lose such an asset at this point.

I would trade Khovanov instead. But I doubt Peg accepts, as well as I doubt whether we need Copp.</div></div>

I wouldn’t say he’s untouchable. The guy is 22, so it’s expected that he puts up numbers. But his size is nice and he does throw it around. I’ve caught a few BC games and he trucks ppl.

As for needing Copp, I ultimately agree. I just felt like doing something a bit different. He’s not a guy I see included in proposals very much, but I really like his game.
