that is why teams will favor US college players, you have 4 years to sign them.
unlike canadians junior league 2 years.

who makes these rules, and why would they make sense?

Hmmm. Can CHL players just refuse to sign their contracts and become UFAs at the end of the 2 years?

You often hear about the NCAA players (Schultz, Vesey, etc.) who refuse to sign and become UFAs, but I can't remember an example of CHL players doing the same.

no, they become eligible for the draft as 20 y/o. if I'm not mistaken.

if he does want to play in MTL, I do hope he gets the chance if he does all the right things, would be welcomed change instead of just applying cancel culture and moving on.

Agreed.

Okay that makes sense. Really no incentive for CHLers to hold out then. You'll just get drafted by some other poopty team lol.

if the team offered them a contrat.
if the team didn't offer a contract, yes they become UFAs.

So in Mailloux's case in particular, if we don't offer him a contract, he becomes a UFA... in that case do we get the compensatory 2nd?

no.
we get a 2nd round pick if we offer him a contract and he declines it.

Who plays RD?

Alrighty. Thanks man. The intricacies of draft picks not signing have always evaded me lol.

Who plays RD?
- WaterBoy

Savard
Wideman
Barron/Terrible UFA Dman/Cap dump we take back in Petry trade

For me the teams that make most sense aside from Dallas are Edmonton and Toronto! They need a RD… I know, I know he wants to play in the US but what about a cup? Nylander is in reach with a little creativity. It would include more from Montreal… Petry and Anderson for Nylander plus a salary dump and a pick or a prospect! Nylander can then flipped if not resigned!

if Petry wants a cup, he'll probably consider going somewhere else other than Toronto...

Petry + Anderson is this year's version of Ryder+Halak+ a 2nd.........

no kidding
plus I don't want Nylander. I wouldn't even trade Anderson straight up for him.

A Petry trade won’t be perfect! Just saying teams that really need a RD are Edmonton and Toronto! I’d explore it! We get rid of 2 big contracts for a player that could play with Suzuki and Caufield and becomes a UFA in 2 years.

Roman Josi actually had more first-place votes than Cale Makar for the Norris Trophy: 98-92. Extremely close ballot that Makar won

I don't give a poop who plays with Suzuki and Caufield for the next 2 years. Habs will suck badly for the next 2 years.
I'm interested in who will play with them in 3 years! that's when they'll start being relevent. the dcore will have matured, Primeau will be the starter, Wright will be a legit top6 center....
until then kids can play with Armia I don't give a poop.

I think that's kind of a bad way to look at it, Suzuki and Caufield still have a learning curve ahead of them, ideally you'd want them to play with the best player possible right now.
