I get that, that's why i stated the difference in potential earnings. He would make much more in the NHL.

So apparently Rutger's father was a former minor pro and /or junior player, coach, scout and GM. I'm not saying he's the influence. Just surprised of the current happenings considering his father has hockey blood in him.

That's hilarious... he played in the Sunshine League. I hadn't thought of that league in probably 25 years. Had a couple of buddies play down thereSo apparently Rutger's father was a former minor pro and /or junior player, coach, scout and GM. I'm not saying he's the influence.

It's crazy to me how much parents still meddle in their kids careers, even at higher levels. Of all the years my kids played sports (I figure they've been on around 80 teams total between hockey and summer sports), I've contacted coaches three times - and once was a time when a guy shortened his bench in a spring hockey tournament with 6 year olds lol
My daughter plays U Sport and the thought of me messaging the coach because I don't like her usagen is insane to me, but apparently it happens all the time. I was blown away when I found that out
Hopefully this isn't a case of dad living vicariously through his son. He could be poisoning a bunch of wells for his kid
Laugh reacting at the ridiculousness of a coach shortening his bench in a game for six-year-olds, not at the ridiculousness of your opinion (for a change
)

Don't worry, I'm used to my posts being ridiculed lolLaugh reacting at the ridiculousness of a coach shortening his bench in a game for six-year-olds, not at the ridiculousness of your opinion (for a change
The funniest thing about that story is that my son was one of the ones he sat (and we still lost). I was SO pissed that I couldn't sleep that night and I sent the (snarky) email at around 2:00am. He accused me of being an alcoholic because of it lol

Trade him to f@#k Vegas then I can double hate him
I know, I’ve been watching the start of World War 3 between you and @WolfHouse over in the Stanley thread. Not sure if the mods have joined Chevy at the cottage or what
I would’ve loved to have been a proverbial fly on the wall at that team’s bowling season windup party that year.

Even though both scenarios are not ideal, I'm wondering if Rutger's demand is to start in the NHL or if it's a guarentee that he doesn't get demoted to the AHL after given an opportunity from the onset. . If the Jets actually offered a guarenteed start in the NHL and he said no " that's not enough"..., that would be insane.

It's not like Sean Reynolds or Mike McIntyre are water carriers for TNSE. If it was someone like Toth talking about this stuff I'd take it more with a grain of salt but Reynolds has an adversarial relationship with TNSE and McIntyre is pretty down the middle traditional reporter so I am inclined to believe them.

Murat also confirming that he's heard that atleast one team who was in to trade for him has been turned off by the NHL playing time demand

No bowling windups for losers lol... even at 6 years oldI know, I’ve been watching the start of World War 3 between you and @WolfHouse over in the Stanley thread. Not sure if the mods have joined Chevy at the cottage or what

They had a great team. Four of those kids went on to have full WHL careers, and a couple more in the MJHL
But at the time, all the crazy parents would have told you that their kids were a lock to make the show
Boo hoo. My friends drafted by bad teams get to have ice time guaranteed because they have bad rosters and just want to fill seats with young stars. But I’m drafted by a good team that is competing in the playoffs, so I actually have to work to squeeze my way in. Woe is me.

Ahhh seems like only last offseason that news 'leaked' about helles asking price being too high for teams. And no one biting on the price for scheif..
Weird how news leaks like that...
You have to wonder when the moment of clarity comes for Rutger here. Whoever is driving the bus -- family, reps, etc. -- public sentiment and league opinion are turning on you in a hurry.
Talk about overplaying your hand.
What a mess.

What idiot team was put off by his demands? Why did they think we were trading him because we don’t like his choice of music? How could this be a surprise to them lol
Seems Rutger is finding out he isn't the caliber of prospect that can make these demands. Teams are seemingly put off by them.
You had me worried since you hadn’t posted since Saturday and you’re usually quite habitual.
I thought maybe you lost your arms in a tragic, yet ironic, beaver-petting mishap.

Buium is a blue chip prospect. Who wouldn't rather have him than McG?

I wonder if Columbus’s coaching search will have any impact on McGroarty’s trade talks. Sounds like it’s down to 2 candidates with LAK and CBJ not coming to an agreement on contract negotiations with McLellan. Once a head coach is hired, talks could pick up. Or alternatively, shut down completely.

McG may be sharing Cutter Gauthier's playbook but he is no Cutter Gauthier. Gauthier was a 5th overall pick and a far superior prospect with more than twice the number of goals and a much better D+1 year than McG.
McG is a solid mid-1st rounder with a decent chance at a productive NHL career. It is unlikely that he is a superstar in waiting. And the truth is that prospects of McG's calibre have to earn their way into an NHL lineup, often via the AHL.
It's seems inconsistent that a guy so eager to make the NHL will have the patience to play two more years in college to qualify for free agency. Either the Jets will find some way for him to save face and report to camp or he'll be traded.
I don’t disagree with you, but if McGroarty thinks he’s a 20 year old top six NHL player instead of a decent prospect who will have to earn his way to the NHL, he probably does.

Don't forget Murat telling us mcgroaty trade will happen before the draft. All nobodies pretending they know.

Let's see where he is in two years. For decades three quarters of these guys in the first round fizzle out yet every year they get over hyped when drafted.
