If Sudbury lets Musty sit out for three months, they've tanked his value. If an offer was coming that they were willing to accept already was on the table, they'd have taken it. Offers are only going to be worse as this goes on. This feels spiteful.
Lose-lose-lose for Musty, Sudbury, and the Sharks.
Let’s say for example no team as of today as actually put an offer in? Remember some OHL players have no trade clauses and can reject a trade to Sudbury, as well as 08 1st round picks can’t be traded right now. There’s probably 3-4 teams max right now where it makes sense to add him, London, Erie, Niagara and Brampton. What’s Papineau supposed to do if he’s getting nothing or straight up bush league offers? Just trade him for nothing? Sitting out here is not ideal, but it won’t kill him or disrupt his development. He’ll likely be dealt in the next 2 weeks anyways. If he had told Sudbury earlier and they did nothing with the info or called his bluff, different story, but if they found out when we did or around then, it’s fair that it isn’t done yet IMO.
From article posted it sounds like Grier is losing patience with Mustys agent.
Not at all surprising considering they went about this trade request completely wrong.
Make it PRIVATELY known you'd like to be moved, come back, work ON YOUR game as stated by SJ staff and be professional.
Did they wait until a few weeks ago to notify Sudbury he wanted out? They aren’t a terrible team, I bet they expected him back until atleast November or so. It’s his agents fault if he didn’t declare their intentions sooner, not sudbury.
