Lol, sort that list by PIMs...

is this verified? i like that better than what was being bandied about earlier
- -davies-

Yes, verified. Was never a question about it, actually. The loophole Schultz used to become a June UFA was closed in the new CBA.

Sort it from worst to best. And just put Grossmann on the top and be done with it. Followed by MacDonald.

You just type in "GROSSMANN IZ TEH SUCKZ!"

Close one guys, MJL wins this time

Not sure if it's closed... just nerfed. A Justin Schultz can still become a UFA after his junior year, he just can't sign on July 1.

Exactly. He has to wait until August 15th, meaning that most teams are done with their FA's and some will be at the 50 contract limit.

I think we see a really fired up flyers team against the rags. I don't expect a listless effort like the 2012 devils series.

(frank)ing holmgren will probably be at 55-60 contracts by then and over the cap by 20 million

I'd expect one of them to be Gostisbehere.

The orange line is reporting that mason has a concussion, but it hasn't been stated by the flyers or their poopty beats yet. Who knows if this is truth, but if it is, well...wer're (frank)ing (frank)ed.

He's faking so he can't be blamed for the rags' first round sweep

They should sign him to a couple of contracts, just to make sure

No, he's faking it so he won't be traded at the TDL.

Oh, sorry, thought it was JVR.

One of the great things about college is that it gives you options.

And then you default on your loans.

Shelley, Rosehill and Lilja walk into a bar.. I forget the rest but the end is holmgren signs them all to multi year contracts

The chance that Gostisbehere plays his Sr. year are slim. People need to relax.

1) There is no financial incentive to wait, because the ELC limits level the field even if he is a UFA.

2) The Schultz loophole was closed in the new CBA, meaning Ghost would have to wait til Aug 15, 2015 to become a free agent rather than in June. That is a major disincentive because most NHL teams will have their rosters all but set for the next season.

3) His ELC would start in 2014-15 with Flyers org; something that he can't get by waiting. He'd get in a year of service time on his ELC and get paid sooner on a similar-valued deal.

4) He has developed all he's going to develop in collegiate hockey. No benefit in playing senior year but there is a risk: the risk of a serious injury before he ever sees a penny of an NHL contract.

5) Many players finish their college degree work in the off-season. He'd have to pay for the courses but he could certainly afford it with an NHL signing bonus and ELC in his hand.

Gostisbehere is simply following Bennett's advice to enjoy the national championship and then sit down with his family advisor (officially hiring an agent would make him forfeit senior year of eligibility and leave him with no leverage with Flyers).

Really, that is all there is to see here.
