issue with losing un-signed draft pix

[19 for president]

I do think there should be some sort of compensation for lost college picks, but in this case I'm thinking this is probably his chance to finish a degree with the likelihood he may not make it to the NHL or the Wings have already told him they didn't plan to sign him this year. Like I think there is a decent shot he eventually plays with the Griffs but this isn't a Fox situation where he's for sure getting an NHL shot.

This is funny. Of all the prospects to be upset at, this aint it. Teams have lost legit top prospects this way for years.

True.

I have been following him, hoping he would get a contract, but I can't even confirm he got an offer (though I can't say he didn't).

The book on him,(that I have gathered from others) is very fast, can also be very tenacious, but at times incnsistent. Sounds like if he pans out, good bottm 6 PK guy.

Again I can't confirm it, but would be very surprised if he turned down an opportunity to sign an ELC. Hope he has a strong senior seasn and ends up signing with Detroit, but the world is not going to end if he doesn't.

The Ducks lost a legit top prospect in Schultz after he lied to them that he intended to sign so they didn’t trade him at the deadline.
Then lost Thrun when he said he wasn’t going to sign, luckily were able to trade him though.

It happens.

He upside is a bottom 6 winger. Half a PPG guy in the NCAA through 3 years at a top program at UND. Will need to be strong defensively to earn a living in the NHL. 6'0, so likely would get up to 190 odd lbs. Neither big nor small. If his best asset is speed, that should ensure he gets a look down the line as teams do look to get faster. But, needs to do more than skate fast. Will need to help out on the PK.

Objectively false.

because im not a brainwashed sheep . and why do you think its your business to tell others to write how you deem correct ????????

I am flattered, but I did not invent the English language, keyboards, or coherent sentences.

For the record, and out of curiosity, who are you representing? You've made it clear it's not brainwashed sheep.

I mean let’s look at it from all aspects first before calling it objectively false.

Personal comfort, familiarity, and context are what I’m taking into consideration.


@ElysiumAB

Actually If you take what I said literally, yeah okay you have a good case.

But that’s not what I meant, and you know that
