At the 9:33 of the 3rd OT, in an absolutely phenomenal game.......Maine ended UMass' season.

Think he'll get Sejna-type interest?
Oilers Chick said:From what I've been reading he's been one of the undrafted, soon-to-be players that has garnered alot of interest from various NHL teams. Which ones, I couldn't tell you because I don't know exactly.
Whether he gets switched back to forward or not, will be at the discretion of whoever signs him and whatever they want to do with him. His defense isn't too bad. It's not excellent, but he's not a major defensive liability (at least at the collegiate level from what I've seen) either.
Stevex said:Coyotes have splashed out before (McLeod) and have finances in place to make some FA signings. Considering how young their defense is and that they just acquired Ballard, signing Pock doesnt seem very likely though
I'd peg a playoff team like Detroit to get him. Big-name, successful team with an older defense.
Absolutely now is the time to spend some of the money that they "saved'. With a draft pick on that team you know they had to see a lot of him. Go get him GMGM!st_roland said:I am praying to the hockey gods that Leonsis gets that kid. We need talent on the blueline so fricken bad.
A few weeks ago there was a report in an austrian newspaper about the Islanders being interested in Pöck. I don't know if there's something on...TomACE said:In the other thread somebody has said that the Devils and the Islanders were the frontrunners in the sweepstakes. Heck, if the Devs sign him they might throw him into there lineup right away.
Before switching to defense was Pöck a winger or a center?

Swervedriver said:Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt Pock have to be drafted because he's a European?
Boston tried to sign Martin Wilde out of college and that got voided because of his European status.
Why would it be different for Pock?
