Rumor: Canucks prospect and U of M Captain Jacob Truscott will be testing free agency- Will not sign with the Canucks
- Thread starter UrbanImpact
- Start date
Players don't enter the draft. It's not some kind of consensual opt-in/opt-out arrangement.
It's true that the player could be drafted again, if he is still draft-eligible when his rights expire. That has nothing to do with the player doing or not doing anything.
Frankly, I don't think any drafted player owes their draft team the time of day -- andi know you weren't suggesting that they do, either.
The NHLPA is not going to agree to that kind of disincentive to sign any unsigned free agent, no matter of draft status.
Compensation only happens in the NHL and MLB where a qualifying offer is given to a player previously under contract. It doesn't come out of the blue.

Truscott back in Michigan for a graduate year.
Rumors of interest in this player were greatly exaggerated.

There’s something off about the 5 years of college thing. Like on the stats page it’s just aesthetically unappealing.

That bum Quinn Hughes certainly didn’t work out.
well, this is the final season for any player who was on an NCAA roster in 20/21 that can do a Super Senior year. I don't know of NCAA hockey players being RS like in football.
Don't foresee an NHL future for someone who opted to do a 5th year in college vs go pro and challenge himself. Probably, why he opted to return to college.

Montreal has signed 6 American college players in the last few years and a couple of those players are Caufield and Hutson. They will probably sign Jacob Fowler after this year

Canucks lost a 22 year old Fifth Round Pick that's still playing college hockey. Better re-think everything.

Ok, so where does Truscott want to play?
People throw out New York in this situation everytime, and are right more than wrong, so let's say the Rangers.
Detroit? Chicago? Minnesota? I don't think his staying for 5 years of university hasn't had an affect on where he wants to play.
Anyone hear of any other places?

True, but I always thought most of the boys signing with the Bruins had roots in the area. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.
