His ELC will be 3 years, and not a million. I'm sure he's watching this disaster and thinking, "the Sabres are contenders, I must get there NOW before their window closes"
Reality is that he is watching this disaster, and he'd love to give the Golphers, who appear more competitive than the Sabres, a shot at a national title. He knows he can wait while the Sabres clean up more of this mess. And everything he's said and done tells me he will. He won't be on the roster next season, and the following one to boot.

I like how you can read his mind, impressive. The way I see it, he reads an NHL contract and you can see dollar signs in his eyes. It's a massive difference for a 20 year old to go from no income to earning 1-2 mil for an year. That's enough for 99% of the population of this planet. Not sure why you think Casey is different - it's a "million" if he doesn't hit any bonuses and I'm sure as hell he would be ready to bet on himself he can hit the bonuses. And if he doesn't sign an ELC now (as in 2018), he must do it later at the same AAV, so he would be losing a lot of money if he stay in college. Only average to mediocre talent stays in college for 3-4 years. Top talent is normally 1 or 2 max. I think the "reality" is he sees Nico Hischier already in the NHL and probably thinks "I'm better than this guy" - you really think that leads to him staying in the NCAA for 4 years...His ELC will be 3 years, and not a million.

Leaping from wanting to play at least 1 year at his dream college vs 4 years before pro is a HUGE leap of logic. Going to need links.

No matter how much you wish it so, he won't be on the roster next season or the one after. Sorry to burst your bubble.I like how you can read his mind, impressive.

Google his name and read through the myriad of articles where he's quoted its been his dream to lead the Golphers to a national title.
Never heard a college hockey player say
"I want out of here asap" and "screw the team and college hockey I want the bucks". So I take this kind of talk as expected.

I heard Mittelstadt was talking about staying at Minny to get his doctorate in quantum physics. We may not see him for years.

And I heard he is planning to pursue a professor vacancy right after that... From the department of Arts.

He made half a dozen amazing plays before he tipped that puck in...then made another one on his next shift. He dominated that period.

I know it's QOC but he kinda looks better than Jack to me lol And they have such a similar style, I can't wait to see him in Buffalo. We need much more of what he has.

You know that Jack actually played in college and broke the whole league en route to becoming only the second hobey baker winning freshman in history right? Pre draft year.
