Prospect Info: Cal Petersen (2013, 129th) – '16-17: Notre Dame #40 (NCAA)

[brian_griffin]

Don't forget Dennis Peterson the mid 2000's 1st or 2nd round D that never made it past the AHL.

Persson

Not only could Persson never make it to the NHL, he couldn't even make it to Peterson.

(I might be the only one laughing at this thought.)

Botts just said that he expects Petersen to head to Free Agency as has been anticipated for some time.

Update: Botts "I don't believe he'll be signing with the Buffalo Sabres."

Who's got his home address and a bag of dog poo??

He added that he does not expect him to sign with Buffalo...just for clarity here

If you didn't see this coming when he went back last year after Murray tried to get him out I don't know what to tell you.

 

[gallagt01]

Well there's that. Good luck, Cal!

There is quite a stench on this organization...

Are there really better options out there for a goalie who will be 23 at the start of the season?

Maybe he's just determined to play for Chicago and that's that. He could do that by signing with the Hawks or Vegas now that the Wolves are their affiliate.

At this point, it doesn't matter to me what Petersen does. I gave up on him as soon as he declared...if he was going to sign here he would have before stating his intent.

 

[Cirris]

Well, at least he's straight up about it. Agent probably told him forget it.

 

[Ace]

I don't want to deal with college players any more. Botterill is going to learn quick that they'll fall over themselves to sign with Pitt but this ain't Pitt.

 

[Zip15]

Layne is not going to be happy about this.

 

[haseoke39]

He broadcast this a long way out, and a lot of people didn't want to see it.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Might as well try to trade his rights, get something for him.

 

[Gabrielor]

So long cal. I don't wish you luck.

If he ever comes to Buffalo for a game, I hope he accidentally mixes up his hot sauces on his chicken wings, and gives himself some major heartburn.

 

[truthbluth]

Hockey heaven

 

[BananaSquad]

Theres a huge opportunity in Chicago for him as well.....

We should put the word out to every bar and chicken joint...the only wings he's allowed within city limits are the nuclear wasteland variety.

 

[boots electric]

i know this is something that's clearly within the rules, and it's absolutely a player's right to go this route, but it's still a pretty **** move. if you're only now making it publicly known that you're not going to sign when you've had the opportunity to do so for literal years, you're basically just an a-hole

i'm not going to harbor ill-will against him, but i'd smile a little wider if i saw him get shelled in our building one day

 

[Samsonite23]

He's a Chicago guy and there's a big opportunity in Chicago. Makes sense.

And when he yells for a drink, give him an extra IPA.

I know it has been argued many times, and there are some valid points to allowing college players to turn UFA. But I still hate it.

I wish they would at least change the rule from letting them turn UFA to instead if they don't choose to sign with the team that drafted them that they would have to then re-enter the draft.

I don't know how realistic that thought it, but at least it would take away some of the incentive for them to not sign with the team that drafted them.

Or Chang the rule to only allow college players to turn UFA if the team that drafted them doesn't want to sign them.


I admit I am sad to lose Peterson. I seen him as our future #1 for years. I figured that took a hit when Murray traded for Robin Lehner, though.
