No room for him at all.

 

[SML2]

He's gonna look great in Ranger Blue.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

When was the last time that a Havard player actually signed with his team out of college?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Wonder what Carolina would get if they tried trading his rights?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I wonder if the strength of Carolina's defense played into his decision to wait and pick his spot?

 

[Deen]

Was actually hoping he would pan out for the Hurricanes. Everyone likes to talk about the trade and how Calgary won it, but I always thought he had the most upside and that people needed to wait and see what he does. Too bad honestly.

 

[Calad]

Next CBA should close the shit out of this loophole. Even if my Rangers have benefitted from it immensely, its clearly broken the system and been abused by many unsigned NCAA players. All that said, can't blame the kid for wanting to finish a degree at Harvard

Donato last year.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

He'll probably go to the Rangers. He was a big Ranger fan growing up.

Zilch. He's worthless.

Literally any player can be a UFA 4 years post draft.

Hell a talented enough CHL player could pretty much choose their own team after 2 seasons if they wanted to

 

[super6646]

Not too surprising, but it makes the summer trade look all the more worse. Hoping ferland re-signs with them for a decent price.

 

[Foppberg]

Horrible trade for them. Jesus.

He’s passing up money to go to school. He can’t burn an elc year if he signs in August. His next contract won’t be until 22-23 season.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Donato last year.

I think he means after completing their degree (Donato left after three years).

I posted this in another thread but the league should consider adding the extra year to sign picks if they're in college. Hockey careers are unpredictable and can be short, let players stay in school if they choose and don't penalize a drafting team for that.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Tryamkin's rights for Fox's rights?

 

[wej20]

Always a risk. I thought they'd maybe move him at the deadline if they were worried about him not signing.

 

[Muffin]

I don't think he'll be that good of a player, his skating isn't good enough for a player his size. I'm thinking like a Will Butcher?

 

[bernmeister]

Zilch. He's worthless.

Unless...
if we had permission to talk to him now,
and then traded a 7th + a conditional + for him, with the + being something contingent on Fox signing w/Rangers next year, then MAYBE a throw in.
Would depend on if Fox really wants to finish Harvard FIRST, or if he can start NHL w/NYR asap, and do Harvard the expensive way with a lot of 1:1 tutors in NY minimizing need for class time in Boston.

The other way, like I said in a previous post, is that there is a big deal now for like Zib, and in that equation, Fox is a smaller sweetener.

I would actually like to move the expiring Namest. and give mo mins to other Fs.

Namest. + Pionk + conditional Rangers 2020 3rd
for
McKeown + rights to Fox

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

With concerns over his signing, he didn't have much trade value at the deadline either. No team would give up much for him if they also had concerns about him signing him. And teams (ie..Rangers) that he might go to wouldn't give up much for him since the odds are he might go there anyhow.

 

[DougieSmash]

Horrible trade for them. Jesus.

They are about to make playoffs with big contribution from Dougie and Ferland. Calm down. Fox is nice but Bean is better.

I think that's aimed at more to if/when we lose Ferland as a UFA.

I love Dougie, but Lindholm and Hanifin for just Dougie is a horrible deal for us. If Ferland bails, there's no spin, we got f***ed.

The rule is fine. CHL players rights are only held for 2 years. Europeans (outside of Russia and Switzerland, where there is no transfer agreement), only have there rights held for 4 years. Just because you draft a kid, doesn't mean you get his rights indefinitely.
