No, but he was never drafted. You also forget that after college you don't go back into the draft, you become a free agent.

But he was never even picked. Guys like Ghost and Gaudreau were selected. Gus never got selected.

You mean the guy MacTavish was salivating over and desperatley trying to get at last years draft and Homer refused to part with has no value to Edmonton? That guy? They just signed Nikita Nikitin for 4.5 mil, trust me, Coburn has TONS of value in Edmonton. But If I'm giving that kind of overpayment, I'd be sending them South for Florida's pick.

LECAVALIER'S AGENT GETS PERMISSION TO TALK TRADE WITH TEAMS (TSN)

We would probably retain some salary on that I assume.

I doubt it. Most of the teams that want him have Cap room, some are even trying to make the cap floor. Besides, I'd rather throw in a low draft pick, or not move him at all.

Gusty -> Carle
- 2Real





Are you smoking something?

If Gustufson is so good how comes he is heading to KHL and both guys you mention he is better then have had solid NHL careers?

If he was someone teams thought highly of he would be in NHl, either with Flyers or someone would oferomething for him.

1. He's young.
2. He's somewhat flashy.
3. He was never given a chance
4. Matt Carle is the worst defenseman ever.

And there you have it. He is 1000x better than Carle.

Neither was Danny DeKeyser. I just don't think its fair to say that because he wasn't drafted while he was in his first two years of college, that he won't be a good player.

All I know is the Sixers better not have just tanked a season to draft Greg Oden Jr. or Crocodile Dundee.
- PLindbergh31


whomever they don't draft will score the OT winning bucket in the nba finals against them.

It was actually just an over-the-top point to counter the other over-the-top point. I know good (well, solid) players sometimes go undrafted.

Slathered, I didn't even take off the papers from the 37 pats I put in.
