Marek caught a whiff of the situation so what? Do you not think the agent communicated the desire to play for another team to the Wolves?
What so Quinton musty put out a post saying “screw the fans of Sudbury I want out of this Hell hole”?
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.
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.
He attended Sudbury orientation camp, played an exhibition game before heading to SJ camp, and all seemed well. He was even given assistant captain.
Right right, I forgot that. Even watched a pre season game with him in it, that’s bad on my part… so it’s new. I dont blame Papineau and their staff for taking their time to get the right return. Or he comes back for a stint.
Who cares about how many championships they have won. If they think they are a contender they are in a tough position. They will want an equivalent player and they won't get that. I guess the best thing to do is trade him for a boatload of draft picks and trade them to a rebuilding team for a player or 2.
They ultimately know that treating players like chattel because they signed "contracts" is just a bad look overall, leads to more kids going a route that offers them more direct control (Tender -> NCAA, where you can just throw your name in the portal for any reason or no reason at all). At the end of the day, Musty isn't hurt at all. He's not losing out on earning a contract worth millions of dollars, he's already drafted and signed to an ELC, San Jose isn't going to just bury a 1st round pick to the shadow realm. He's not playing in games... but ok? I'm sure he's still training with his personal coaches and will be ready to play whenever that will be. His Junior Eligibility expires soon anyways. Sudbury just needs to bite a bullet and get a trade done. They probably thought they could bully the kid into coming back but he's not that interested.
He should be given how Team Canada runs their roster. Even if they may be deserving, I have a hard time seeing Misa, McKenna, and Martone all making the team/cracking the top 12.
I'm still bewildered he didn't even get an invite last year.
Not sure what this has to do with simple effort level and/or body language.
