Post-Game Talk: Free Agency Part 2

[Schooner Guy]

Potentially minor kids were still under the supervision of hockey Canada unless the parents of all kids were present at the gala. If this was proven to be the case that all kids were with their parents at the gala i might change my stance about it.

Are 19 year olds (and a few 18 year olds) considered minors? They're old enough to get a criminal record, live on their own, go to college and live in dorms, off-campus apartments etc. Hockey Canada was stupid to allow an open bar at the gala but it's hard to put 19 year olds under house arrest when there is no game to prepare for.

what did this say?

It was Kevin Weekes reporting Devils and Miles Wood were approaching a 2-year deal. Wood has his arbitration hearing on Saturday. Weekes deleted it so I take it he learned that a deal may not be done.

16-17 are though. u20 team has the potential to have 17 years old players. Rules should not change whatever there is 17 years old players or not. They should take no chance and apply the same rules all the time. Like i said some NHL team have stricter rules on the road ...

They weren't on the road though. They were at a social event to raise money for Hockey Canada and celebrate their championship. Hockey Canada screwed up big time in many ways (allowing open bar, attempting to cover the incident up, not informing the executive board etc) but they can't shackle young men in the offseason. At the end of the day, these douches got in trouble on their own.

Not sure why anyone is shocked by all of the dirt that's coming out of Hockey Canada...if you've spent any amount of time around amateur or professional hockey players, this isn't surprising.

I've seen some abhorrent things be laughed off like it was just part of the deal with being an aspiring or current NHL player.

The only difference now is hockey players are no longer shielded by the glare of society, so all of that dirt is getting exposed.

Ayaaaaaaaaaaaaa so much for Huberdeau to the Habs

 

[Jack Skellington]

Wow wasn't sure he would sign. I suppose he figured he couldn't match last season or else why not test free agency and pick your team.

Welp no Huberdeau for us. It was a fun dream while it lasted.

Patrice Bergeron has yet to sign with the Bruins.

At the price he’s rumoured to sign for, I think I would’ve crying in my sleep for the next 9 years.

 

[JuicyHam]

Damn wonder what the people that said there was no shot he was signing in Calgary are thinking

Money always talk...most listen lol

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

That ends the Dubois vs Huberdeau debate

 

[JuicyHam]

Money always talk...most listen lol

This is true. I'm sure even the most optimistic Flames fan is surprised he signed before playing a game though

 

[KevSkillz4]

Wow Calgary easily win that trade

[sampollock]

Back to PLD

 

[SlafySZN]

Back to PLD

No.

Back to Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson or Dvorsky.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Letang, Malkin, Dubois, Huberdeau…
Who’s next

Miles Wood, add another one!

 

[McGees]

Hooby contract gonna age bad imo.

 

[Runner77]

Hooby contract gonna age bad imo.

Habs would have been in a similar predicament had they had a shot at him.

 

[Kimota]

So much for wanting to sign here. What an idiot. He could have signed here, play with Dubois and become a hero.
