College Hockey College Free Agent talk II

any of these dudes gettable? ...wantable?

Some will return to the draft, others will become FA I believe. Many times these happen because the team doesn't believe they are worth an ELC. Sometimes it happens because the player doesn't want to be in that organization, or sometimes has a specific org they want to be in

Correct.

College and European players become free agents. CHL players re-enter the draft with these conditions: Born between Jan 1 and Sept 15 in their first draft year they must re-enter the draft for their second and third drafts, born between Sept 16 and Dec 31 they re-enter the draft for a second draft.

No, I think Boston will grab another Loophole guy in August

[aguineapig72]

any thoughts here?

Don't know much about him but if we sign him maybe we could bring Al's number out of retirement for him?

And with that the 2024 College Free Agent frenzy essentially ends with a whimper
We'll be back stronger in October

William Rousseau signed with Iowa (ECHL)
Now, looking at the potential P Bruin lineup it's pretty deep so I'm not confident they'll be in the mix for any of those Loophole Players mentioned earlier

As the Wife walked out the door this morning she requested I " be productive"
With that in mind I'll be tracking
19 Goalies
46 forwards
24 D
Very manageable number to start
like every year they'll be additions and players that just fizzle out
Some of my favs
Gleb Veremyez
Noah Giesbrecht
TJ Hughes
Tyler Duke
Alex Pineau
John Driscoll
Zach Bookman
Ryan Kirwan
I could go on...
For the 2025 potential Loophole guys I have around 12 but need to confirm some of those names
Pretty sure Ayrton Martino is
Not sure about Shane LaChance

I talked to Pineaus dad about the vegas camp. Great reports. I told him he is a Bruins type of player.
