Hooray to Luca, but reading the other names on that list is a real damper
I think the reason is Sharks are really up for drafting a Russian (Silayev or Demidov), and Grier wanted to get as much information about the players as possible, but Eronko failed his duties so GMMG got really pissed at him.

Stewie Griffin
What the deuce
Cagnoni is having a really similar D+1 to Zellweger which is awesome. If only Cagnoni had the Hockey Canada love that Olen did he could've been drafted higher and/or gotten a better look at Team Canada for the WJC.
The size will always be against him, but he's in the same realm offensively as guys like Korchinski and Mateychuk that were top-12 picks...not bad for a 4th rounder.

This is what I was thinking. I think it was @Desert Eagle that was saying Eronko wasn’t a fan of Silayev (might be misremembering though) so maybe something around that?

And most projections had him getting picked in the 2nd. He REALLY fell and I'm really thrilled that we grabbed him. I hope like Dan Boyle, he has a chip on his shoulder his whole career about dropping to the 4th round and takes it out on the whole league. I'd love for him to thrive for us, he's such a fun player and we have no defensive prospects with his skill set (maybeee Havelid to a lesser extent?)
Does anyone know what he's likely going to do next year? Is it AHL or another season where he is now?
Stewie Griffin
What the deuce
He's not old enough for the AHL, so he'll be back in the WHL 100%.
As a 2004 birth year isn’t he eligible to play in the AHL next year?
Stewie Griffin
What the deuce
I guess you're right, he's in that weird spot being a December birthday. But since he's still under 20 to start the season, he'll have to go to the WHL.
His December birthday makes him ineligible for the WJC though.

Pretty sure it has more to do with CHL eligibility not really age when it comes to the transfer agreement. As long as the player is a normal CHL playing age and not an overaged player he needs to stay in the CHL or NHL.

I don't blame GMMG for being pissed. This is our first top 3 pick since Brad Stuart in the 90s and both Silayev and Demidov are top 3 talents. It's crucial that Grier has Russian scouts he can trust with such a franchise altering decision.
Yes exactly and CHL eligibility is based on birth year. As a 2004 birth year he would be considered an overage player next season and eligible to play in the AHL.

Will Secondary is a Hobey Baker top 10 (finalist?)
Smith and Celebrini should of been finalists for the award.
Stewie Griffin
What the deuce
I thought Celebrini wasn't, but he is but Smith isn't. Ryan ufko must be one dominant defensive defensemen to be a finalist.

Which award are you talking about? That is the top 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker, in alphabetical order by last name.

The top 3 finalists for the hobey that was posted a few days ago, Gauthier, Celebrini, ufko were the top 3.
Think that was Hockey East Player of the Year not Hobey, but the Hobey top 3 will almost certainly be Gauthier, Celebrini, and another player who didn't have as good a year as Mr. July or Perreault.
