Is Hayes seriously still a UFA?
Did things no got well in their meeting yesterday with the Avs? Supposedly the leading candidates for his services, and he was supposed to sign yesterday. Something change all of that?
Only one writer for a Boston area paper said he thought it could happen yesterday. Don't read too much into it.
It was Divver who is a pretty well connected writer. He has been wrong on some of the details though.
In other news, for those who missed the Josh Ho-Sang thread, Bleackley didn't get invited to the Canadian World Jrs camp. Only 3 Canadian 1st rounders didn't get invited: Bleackley (#23 overall), McCann (#24) and Ho-Sang (#28).
Ho Sang sounds like a nutcase.
I had no idea what he was talking about in most of that TSN article, and the writer seemed like he was on his nuts for some reason. Ho Sang would say something crazy and the writer would then do his best to spin it in a positive direction.
Seriously, what the **** is he talking about here?
"The way that I'm portrayed is someone who's stubborn and never changes but I'm just someone who asks 'why,'" Ho-Sang said after participating in Day 1 of BioSteel Camp at St. Michael's College School Arena in Toronto.
"People who are very black and white don't like that at all because you're questioning the masses, you're questioning the way things have been done. That's why things change right? It's those types of minds and people (who ask why) that change everything, I don't understand how that's a negative thing anywhere."
He doesnt at all imo. He's rubbing people the wrong way because he's not doing the good ole canadian farm boy robot routine and is speaking his mind. Im sure if you put a room full of NHL gms and coaches (you know the old guard) they would tell him to just sit down and shut up until someone tells you to say something.
I hope he makes it personally, wears his no. 66, and continues to say whatever he wants.

Probably trying to get as much as he can. Why not, right?
Wrong. He can only get at most $900,000 on an entry level contract. He's basically deciding WHERE he wants to play.
I'm starting to wonder with this new Rangers talk that maybe Hayes sat down with Roy and Sakic and realized the situation we all kinda saw. That he maybe didn't have as great an opportunity to crack the top 9 out of camp as he thought.
Assuming that is a big deal, and would rather have a better opportunity from day 1 like he'll get with the Rags.
