Drake Caggiula is, in fact, bound for EDM.

He wasn't to me going to be handed a roster spot by Hextall or even his former coach who he had to know would make him earn it.

You're right. That may have played into his decision as EDM had his roster spot on a silver platter. Mcdavid definitely helps as well.

Caggiula could've previously played with Connor McDavid in Erie, but opted for Univ of North Dakota instead. Now he seizes the opportunity.

Caggiulla strolls into Edmonton. Demands to play on a line with mcdavid. Edmonton tells him whatever he wants. Edmonton wins cup

They took a shot, it didn't work out.........onto the draft since I doubt they have much of a chance to sign Jimmy Vesey

So caggiulas been in the draft the last couple years right? 36 pts in 42 games in his 2014-2015 season wasn't enough for anyone to take a stab I guess?

Just strange how this stuff works out. It's not like he came out of absolutely nowhere

What the hell is wrong with this kid? Just go sign a (frank)ing contract. The rest of the league will get by

Besides Martin St Louis, name one undrafted college free agent to make a major impact in the NHL.

Bingo. These college kids always come in so highly touted and the truth is most of them end up as flashes in a pan.

Yes. And he is definitely a good example of an undrafted college FA.

History just shows that it does not work out. The NCAA is becoming a much better league compared to the other's, but still nothing to get worked up about by missing out on this player.
