Now that UMD is eliminated from the NCAA, I was wondering if anyone has heard any news on Junior Lessard. I assume he'll be hotly persued in the next few days by alot of teams. Any word on who he may be signing with or when?
Blatny Spears said:As far as I know, you can negotiate all you want -- as long as you don't officially sign or have an agent while you're negotiating. It's not at all uncommon (and not against the rules) for teams and players to talk informally about contract terms while they're still in school.
He's much bigger than Hartigan. I watched him on TV yesterday, I wouldn't have put those two players together at all.Blatny Spears said:For those that have seen him, is he anything like Mark Hartigan? Most of what I've read about Lessard makes him sound like Hartigan: average skater, booming shot, etc.

Can anyone confirm this?turnbuckle said:Bob McKenzie said last night that at least a dozen teams were interested in signing him, prominent among them dallas, Toronto and Montreal.

RE-HABS said:When they talked to him on HNIC last night between periods of the Habs-Bruins game he said that his Agent was talking to several teams, no clear winner as of yet. I would imagine he would want to go to a team where there isn't a lot of top end prospects in his way of making the NHL club and a younger team that is rebuilding.

KSGuy2325 said:Well...as far as forward prospects...the Avalanche are nearly depleated.
Svatos and McCormick is all I can think of...I'll count Moore since he started in Hershey and earned his spot. I don't think I'll take Brigley, as he is in his mid twenties *though I do like the style of game he plays*
So, if he's looking for a depleted prospect pool, The Avalanche, St. Louis are just some of the teams that seem a little thin in the cupboard.
