[Hockeyville USA]

Still no pro games

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Anyone have any info on his status the rest of this season and his career moving forward? It's like he vanished

 

[WreckingCrew]

He just signed a one-year deal with the Charlotte Checkers AHL

Assigned to the ECHL. From 1st rounder to ECHLer, woof.

Going the Bode Wilde route.

I was shocked and amused when I went to a local ECHL game and saw he was on the 3rd paid while local guys that played AAA locally with maybe a little college hockey were getting more EV and powerplay time than him.

I mean O'Brien at least has the excuse of missing all of last year to injury. We'll see if he bounce back to being at least an AHLer.

 

[Chuck Downie]

A year and a half since college and no games at all. I thought the pick was bad, but not to the point where he may never play a pro game at any level.

 

[Jacob]

What's his injury?

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Hextall thought he was the smartest guy in the room with that pick.

 

[MrCreamm]

He was always destined to be a career minor league guy with a name like Jay O'Brien, his destiny was set in stone before he took a single step on the ice.
