Any chance Yzer can sign him? Would we even have room for him in the lineup? Thoughts?
Two words: hell no
If he knows anything about how we break in prospects he would run as far away as possible from us. Hell, he'd be better off staying in college (if he was even allowed to) because he would be getting more playing time and opportunity there than he ever would here. We'd stick him in the minors and tell him its good for him because he would be the "go to guy" for the Crunch when the young man wants a shot at the NHL.
I guarantee you Nikita Kucherov telephoned his buddy Gusev in Russia and told him the same thing. You get reports that he is willing to come overseas and then suddenly he signs a 2 year extension to stay with SKA? Needless to say I'm skeptical.
Jon Cooper made sure a very long time ago that his boys he coached in Norfolk and Syracuse got spots on the team. And as the team is right now there's no spots left for anyone new to join in.
If we can't find a way to get Drouin up here we sure as hell aren't gonna find a way for Vesey
^ sad but true, going to be very hard for Tampa to attract young offensive prospects given their history.
Why sign in TB when you could go to Chicago and get top-6 mins off the bat.
This is what I hate about cooper and yzerman see drouin right now! I'm interested to see soon after Stamkos and a few others leave who cooper and yzerman replace them with ?Two words: hell no

Yzerman has only signed two college free agents so far brown and sustr ? You think with us being good that we won't be able to attract good college players now ? Or have we just not tried for college fa's and more focus on the draft ?is amazing the whining we get once have a full good team and crying for individuals who we dont have spots for lol
drouin to me has touched off finally he is focused just like vladdy was before call up and before him kucherov and also paquette they waited till got hot called up and look wow works
so take it all with a grain of salt we have only gotten one college guy in a long time sustr was highly targeted we have tried hard on many but it is what it is
as long as we keep drafting like we have it will all work out for a long time

Sounds like drouinthink these college kids the good ones expect top minutes right off bat so ya we are gonna have a really hard time ever signing any just like the wings they cant do it much either and have a lot of guys in area that go elsewhere etc..

This is the hilarious part about the Vesey situation - he was promised all that and more and is still walking away.
I thought he was signing with Boston ?yes he was but brother is drafted to toronto and dad is a scout I dont know what i would do there but kinda dont blame him as long as toronto is the choice anywhere else is a slap in face to nashville think that is team that drafted him
good news is im sure since things like this keep happening sooner rather than later next cba or whatever this situation will be looked at to offer some type of compensation to the teams losing this type of an asset
