College Hockey College Free Agent talk

[DKH]

Florida GM Bill Zito was both Thomas & Rask agent

Per his bio

Prior to joining the Blue Jackets organization, Zito spent two decades building Acme World Sports into one of the top hockey agencies in the world by uncovering late-round or undrafted, lesser-known players, as well as the top picks. As the agency’s founder and president, his list of clients included: John Madden, Brian Rafalski, Tuuka Rask, Kimmo Timonen, 2013 Vezina Trophy finalist Antti Niemi and former Vezina Trophy and Conn Smythe Award winner Tim Thomas.

gee I wonder if he knew the agent who represents this kid - for all I know he once worked for Zito. Good for Bill

question- does our black hole at top 6 center entice college free agents to sign or does it not really impact anything

Not only at Center but Boston has a ton of expiring contracts next year and in reality only a few high end types to replace them in the pipeline,so if you believe in yourself and money and term are equal across the board why wouldn't you give a long look to Boston vs the LA Kings who are 5 deep at every position
Pittsburgh and the NYR are always active in this market, Montreal will be involved too unfortunately...

opportunity is always a factor agents of free agents look out for.
At the end of the day the sooner you make a big club roster the sooner you make ~10 times what you were making.

I hope we can land a big fish. Can any of these guys make the big club (Bruins) directly from college?

If we were 10 points back maybe though to get a Scanlin or Meyers maybe you burn a year to get them, otherwise probably not

Ahcan’s brother any good? Point totals aren’t great this year but haven’t really seen him play at all.

College hockey has become embarrassingly soft.

High motor, hard to play against, like a Blackwell/Blidh type
