I'd say it's cuz he sucks, but Pierre Bouchard is there, so that can't be the reason.

Not possible. Not on the roster for the NLDS. Won't be for the NLCS or the WS either. They won one game away, which is what they needed to do. That said, I'm not thrilled with the overall performance. But they have three home games to win two and that's a pretty good spot to be in.

Think they've been very good at home too this year, so shouldn't be a huge problem.

But it's never easy to get rid of the champions.

I'm no baseball expert, but that Beltran guy seems to be having quite the season. Was he affected by the Mets' doom prior to this year ?

I meant for the most part.

Like the Heatleys and the Lindros and every other little spoiled brat in the league.

Understood Pete, that many are down to earth but how much life experience do most NHLrs have?

Has Sundin picked up a shovel?

Has Yzerman been jumped in a back alley?

Has Lemieux been kicked out of his house?

Has Roy been drafted for the war?

Has Stammer been in the clink?

Has Weber jackhammered concrete?

Has Crosby lost a leg?

B-b-but I wear a blue collar ....

Habs have sent Lefebvre to the ECHL and have released camp standout Farnham.

Gagné, Corbin and Boutet are still up there and looking for a contract. One of them will eventually return to his junior team with an Entry-Level contract, I'd rather have one of the two bigger guys, but Gagné is a very smart player.

Macaulay I believe is the lone guy there without a contract up front, would be good to sign a bid body like him.

They finished tied for best home record. But they don't seem to be the same team. Could be nerves.
As for Beltran, he could always hit, but was fighting some injuries. That said, the pitches that he hit out were pitches he was supposed to hit out. They were downright awful.

Because your clients are american.

Actually, it was my decision.

Very good read about the Kristo situation and the overall NCAA loophole

My question to you, is why would you make a statement about Kristo when you clearly don't know what the rules are. I'm just curious as to why people on this site make statements when they don't even know what the rules are, wouldn't it be better to ask what the rules are first so you know before making statements.

So often on this board over the years I continue to see people say this or that about prospects when they clearly don't even know what the rules are, which imo makes it hard to take someone seriously. I know this is directed at you but I want to address this to everyone since I can't count the number of times I've read various posters state incorrect facts.


Here's how it works in the NCAA. If you are drafted and at going to play in the NCAA there are two things that happen. One, the player goes directly to the NCAA the following season after being drafted. This is known as being a true Freshman, and the NHL team has to sign you after the player completes 4 years, he must be signed before August 15th or he will become a UFA. The second thing that can happen is instead of going directly to the NCAA, said draft pick spends the following season after being drafted outside of the NCAA. This could be any league that isn't considered pro by the NCAA, so USHL, USHS, BCHL, etc.... Once that happens, there is a loop hole that after said players 3rd season in the NCAA he can opt to become a UFA on July 1st but in order to due so he has to do two things, one is he must inform the NHL team that selected him that he wishes to become a UFA, he must due so before June 1st. The second is that he will let the school know that he will not be returning to the NCAA for his senior year.

If a NCAA draft pick that is eligible to become a UFA after their junior year opts NOT to become a UFA, then that loop hole is forever closed, meaning he can only sign with the team that drafted him and can NOT become a UFA unless of course the NHL team in question doesn't want to sign him. So Kristo has no options but to sign with the Habs, unless of course he wants out of hockey, maybe to run his own bar. If he wants to play in the NHL he has to sign with the Habs.

Here's the list of players that can opt out of signing with the Habs after their Junior year,

Mac Bennett- (Junior) He can opt out as long as he informs the Habs before June 1st, 2013, if he doesn't do so by then he can only sign with the Habs.

Mark MacMillan- (Sophmore) He can opt out as long as he informs the Habs before June 1st, 2014, if he doesn't do so by then he can only sign with the Habs.

Colin Sullivan- (Freshman) He can opt out as long as he informs the Habs before June 1st, 2015, if he doesn't do so by then he can only sign with the Habs.

The remaining NCAA draft picks, Dustin Walsh, Danny Kristo, Mike Cichy, and Josiah Didier all can NOT use the loop hole so they can only sign with the Habs.
