Of course he called him a defenseman

And it's official.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Burn 1st year of deal?

 

[Sal_Butera]

Tuch next?

 

[Habsy]

What's up with Luke Tuch? Another McCarron?

 

[Habsy]

This is ridiculous stick work at high speed.

He had all the leverage.

I think the Boston connection with Gorton is paying big dividends. Not so sure MB gets Harris and Farrell signed.

Just being competent at your job is a bonus too. I’m still skeptical on the scouting team though, aside from that guy that pounded the table for Hutson. Wasn’t a fan of Bobrov hire and still not

I don’t sweat the burned year. If he’s good, he’ll eventually get extended through his best years. If he stinks, then who cares?

We burned years for Caufield and Harris too. The upside is that those NCAA players are much more NHL ready than the guys from the CHL.

It's standard procedure now. The NCAA players know they can walk away, their agents know. You're burning a year to get them, pretty much not negotiable for the star players.

Hughes was advisor to both families (Harris & Farrell) since college players are not allowed to have agents - Struble as well and close ties to Tuch

Mailloux scored his 25th of the year today. Leads the OHL defensemen in goals.

 

[lecoqsportif]

I assume he’ll be old enough to go to Laval next year?
