There is something fishy about this Mews to Michigan deal that I never thought of. How can he be eligible to play for Michigan? He attended the Flames training camp last year and played an exhibition game vs the Oilers. In the past, his participation in training camp playing against other teams would make him ineligible to play NCAA. I can see them maybe give a pass to players that had done that prior to the rule change BUT, now that the rule has changed, can Mews actually attend the flames camp for longer than 48 hours AND play Rookie tourney games and exhibition games and remain eligible?

I have heard that rule isn’t a thing in that situation because the NCAA rule didn’t come out until this season

But that would mean he’d have to skip the Flames camp this year, correct?

Not sure about that but looking at this rule leaves a question

College-bound student-athletes or college prospects may not enter into an oral or written agreement (including for future representation after exhausting NCAA eligibility) with an agent to identify or secure playing opportunities, or receive benefits (e.g., transportation, meals, loan) from an agent.
lat time I checked he had an agent did he not.

I am thinking Michigan was a red herring he will be back in Sudbury in October until he can be traded.
