I hope he doesn't opt out for the loop hole!!!
Can't do it. He could only do this last summer before going back to college. Once he started school the loop closed and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mistake me if I'm wrong but the loophole is if a drafted player plays outside the NCAA within 3 years of being drafted, he can withdraw from the team and sign where he wants (see Shultz). Kristo playing with the USHL and then 2 years of college but opted to go back for the third I believe.
Aw man, I was just kidding. Sorry to make you write all that
you should give yourself a (successful) trolling infraction

The one deserved is worth so much more.
As for Kristo, I've never liked his off-ice antics and I ranted against him earlier in the year. He seems like he has to grow the f up if he wants to be a professional - but supposedly he's talented so let's see how it goes.
Per Mathias Brunet's blog on cyberpresse.
Let's get it done.
Basically this, only it's after 4 years of being drafted and after 3 years of college that you can use the loophole, which is what Schultz did.
And yes, he could play for the Habs this year in theory, would require signing him to a contract that starts this season.
I find it weird how the general appreciation for Kristo goes up and down on a regular basis. Last summer everyone was saying he's a bust after he decided to stay another year at college and now everyone wants him to sign because he's our next top-6 player.
Can someone who has seen him play (regularly) tell me what they see in him? All these conflicting opinions is confusing me!

Do you have the link? would like to the article.
Agreed, the kid needs a babysitter, I'd bring him in just to make sure we have someone with an eye on him.
