To be fair he said that last time while calling two things that happened within 24 hours.
Comparatively Paul Hamilton still couldn’t tell people the rules of burning Casey’s ELC at 430 today
Can recruits rescind the commitment to a school if the coach that recruits them resigns or is fired?
Why risk an injury to the kid and derail his development for 9 meaningless games in March/April?
That is just ridiculous reasoning. So these 9 games he might get injured so don't play him but the next season he wont so then its ok for him to play. Do we wrap him in bubble wrap in the off season too? Players and teams don't make decisions on players based on maybe he gets injured.Why risk an injury to the kid and derail his development for 9 meaningless games in March/April?
The team he’s on is bad. The coach is gone. One of its better d men just bolted early. You’ve been named the top prospect in the game by multiple rankings. You were a part of a ridiculous percentage of your teams scoring despite being used on the third line most of the year. You dominated your peers in the WJC.
There’s not only no good reason to go back...there’s no decent one.
I agree with this, no good hockey-related reason not to sign on the dotted line and start making that money. Hopefully it's Rochester ATO right now, and ELC over the summer.The team he’s on is bad.

Let's take it one step further. Let's sign him but never play him, even in the next few years... so he can never get injured AND he never has the chance to disappoint us. Sounds like a win-win for us Sabres fans. We can talk about how great he "could be", and the tire fire we saved him from, forever.Why risk an injury to the kid and derail his development for 9 meaningless games in March/April?
How good is Mittelstadt's defense? Because of the top options, only the one with ROR and Reinhart seems plausible. In the bottom options, Mittelstadt - Eichel - Nylander seems too "risky" initially.Bailey/Baptiste - Mittelstadt - Erod or
Mittelstadt - Eichel - Erod or
Mittelstadt - ROR - Reinhart
are options that I'm very okay with, or if Nylander makes the team that could lead to a potential Mittelstadt - Eichel - Nylander line, which would be one of the most exciting lines in the NHL. Or Phil can go with the Mittelstadt - Larsson - Nolan 8 mins a night route, in which case I will promptly stop watching the Sabres
Other comments above clarify the commitment scenarios relate to matriculating students, not to students already in school. I know of no reason Mittelstadt isn't free to leave.They usually sign to commit with the contingency that the coaching staff stays the same. If he committed in such a fashion and had the out clause, just like all basketball players do, it'd be fine.
Though there's players who 'commit' and change all the time too because they never actually signed the papers, had some BS clause, etc.

Agreed, still though Mittelstadt - ROR - Reinhart is a fantastic option for next year.
ya, screw that Eichel kid
When do you guys think we’ll find out any news about whether Casey makes the jump or not? I’m impatient haha
After Minnesota hires a new coach.
That could really suck if SCSC goes to the Frozen Four. They wouldn’t be talking to Motzko until after that and that’s the start of the Amerks playoffs. There isn’t even the option for him to burn a year if he waits that long.
If you want to see him go to Rochester to finish the year, is it really a bad thing if that option is no longer on the table?That could really suck if SCSC goes to the Frozen Four.
