but he didnt play in the minors at 19. He played in college.

He's gonna spin it to win it.

all the best Eddie and keep on living in 1974

amazing! You didn't disappoint.

Has nothing to do with games.

You typed a statement, then typed a contradictory statement (he is a bust / I never "said" he is a bust). Just (frank)ing deal with it like a man, and move on instead of acting like a brat.
- jmatchett383

a brat lol. ....how many times must I say it, yes I said he will be a bust. didn't recall saying it on july 5, oh well my bad for not having that knd of memory.

ive been wrong in here 3 times since 2007

So now you can play in the AHL at age 19?. Are we counting the CHL, too?

I guess Shayne Gostisbehere doesn't belong in the NHL since he's played more college games than NHL games, correct? How about Jack Eichel? Dylan Larkin? Johnny Gaudreau?
- jmatchett383

Exactly!

What about Hugh Jessiman. Let me guess, he didnt deserve to play the NHL either did he!?

Ill play both sides of that.

VL: "I want to terminate the remainder of my contract."
RH: "It's about effing time"


--------------------------------------------

RH: "Hey Cenzo, we want to terminate your contract.."
VL: " Uh, no way compadre!"


See how easy it is for VL to guarantee his contract?
- jak521

RH: I'm going to poop in your mouth unless you terminate?
VL: You're going to WHAT!?
RH: I'm gonna poop in your mouth. I will defecate on your face...daily.

I've never been wrong.

comparing elite talents like eichel larkin and gaudreau to a goalie that was just traded for a bag of pucks... classic

no offense but would Trump or Oprah turn down 4.5 mill free money?

JvR definitely played in the AHL before the NHL.

That doesn't change the fact that college is not "the minors." It's college.

Doesn't matter who the player is. According to your logic, they are not NHL players because they have played more college games than NHL games.

- vejim

Why would that be offensive?

And no, unless "a liberal" gave the money to Trump to stop campaigning.

How could it be, when it would be the player initiating the mutual termination?
How do you think it would work, Hextall going to Lecavalier and telling him they want to mutually terminate, or Lecavalier approaching the Flyers?
- MJL

It's not like VL wants out for no reason -- (right or wrong) the team refuses to give him an opportunity and life is miserable for him.

Imagine the slippery slope that could become.

why'd he go to college instead of jumping to the NHL

why'd he go to college instead of jumping to the NHL
- 2Real

Probably because he wanted to get educated, had already committed to the college, wanted to play in the WJC and try to win an NCAA title before going to the NHL.

What a stupid guy! And yes, he played in the AHL. And no, college is not "the minors."

But I'm done with this, because you're gonna spin things and redirect until you win, so fine, you win.

student athlete vs professional athlete

not at all according to my logic scrivens isn't an elite talent and has never really shown much in the NHL either yet you're comparing him to elite talent players like eichel... etc

I'm psyched to see John Scott embarrassed. Maybe it'll drive him out of the league.

hockey players jump from juniors to NHL all the time if you're not in the juniors and you're not in the majors where are you?
