I'd put his chances at signing with not the Bruins or Leafs at 5%. Every team would take him. Supposedly Caligula is deciding between Philly and Vancooover.

Why do we call him Caligula

Vancouver is supposed to be one of the nicest cities to live in in North America.

The snag there, though, is that, as a hockey player, he's probably a big fish in a small pond.

Here in Philly, he can pretty much get around anonymously for some time.

i'm guessing similarity of names

Alderson has been ON FIYAH down in the ECHL:

I've played against some (okay, 2) former ECHL players. They're a ton better than me, but I don't feel embarrassed on the ice against them. In fact, some guys on my men's league team were better than those guys, they just didn't have the time/money for it. So tearing up the ECHL, while nice, isn't exactly a dazzling endorsement. Alderson was given every chance to succeed and has blown it.

Oh, I agree about Alderson.

I think it was Bill who wrote something to the effect that Alderson is probably not getting another contract anyway.

kreider yea, but hayes was signed as a free agent by the Rangers. same with bozak

yes but hayes was drafted by the blackhawks and held out.

i thought this discussion involved undrafted college FAs.

Thought we've been talking college free agents? People have mentioned other college FAs that ditched the team that drafted them.

Schultz has come up multiple times.

edit: yes I missed on Kreider

If we can get him it might make the draft real interesting. They might be more inclined to move up
