A lot of things could happen...I think from Halifax's perspective, theyd want Matheson as Option A and Ciampini as B...after that no idea. Not really sure what BC will do...id be surprised if they took Matheson...I think they will decide between Ciampini and Poulin... And also ive heard BaC is high on the local kid Francois Tremblay...so you never know what will happen, there could be a team that trades up... Halifax pretty much just has to sit there and react to what BaC is going to do. Not a bad position to be in, If Cam has already got a commitment from Matheson, which I suspect he has (based on Tipper's comments in the Telegraph- bluff if I ever saw one) he's gotta be at least a bit nervous that BC will play hard ball and select him.

Funny thing is though Matheson isnt the next coming of Crosby... so I dont know why a small market team like BC, who have trouble convincing guys to report, and cant really afford much in the way of an education bonus, would even bother taking him. They can make a much easier pick of a good player who could easily end up better than Matheson and wont cost a fortune and will report. John Moore says Matheson said he will go to BC, so maybe there is no issue. But if there is (reporting, $$$) BC should play it safe and take another very good player IMO.

What a horrible article.
You dont have to tear down the CHL as a whole if you're going the NCAA route. I am obviosuly a fan of the CHL and the QMJHL but I conceed the NCAA is also a good route.
The quote from the College coach is priceless. The NCAA seems to have an inferiority complex, always tearing down the CHL...
Both are good options...doesnt mean one is better than the other.

The pack play thing is comical considering the average Q team is on the road maybe 6-7 nights a month, he makes it sound like they go to VD and RN each weekend. I hope a Halifax reporter asks them about Halifax's long bus rides once their bluff is up. ;D

And they have changed the schedule over the last few years with more weekend games. ALthough most teams have 2 or 3 rough road trips a year they are still in their own town most Mon-Thur and they do find time for practice and school. A lot of kids are more ready for University at 19/20 and their are a lot of ex CHL players in Canadian University. I agree with LALA both routes have merits but NCAA is not for everybody.

Hey Webber, my reply to you should have read " I don't think I will be crushed " stay tuned to about 9:22 AM June 5th. GO-MOOSE-GO LOL......I sort of hope you are right because I think if we get Matheson, Clarke is gone and I hope that does not happen. I like our defense and according to that article so does Cam so drafting forwards makes sense to me.

Hate to burst your bubble, but that's hardly official. Want to read the atricles in the Halifax papers a couple years ago from Cichy's dad, saying how excited they were to be coming to Halifax? Until August, and Matheson is or isn't at a Q team traing camp, that's hardly official. That article is loaded with inuendo's from the Matheson family, that will give them "outs" to change their mind down the road.

Players could work on their conditioning while following along with the P90X workout program while on the road ;D

Matheson might be drafted in the 4th-5th round but no serious GM, following this article, will take a chance on him in the 1st round....simply too dangerous to lose the pick... Also there is a new regulation in effect....don't you recall? Some GM, if Matheson is drafted in the first rounds and then reports to his team, will have some serious questioning from his peers to face.....

Oooohhh..... a 16 year old kid "changed his mind". Good luck proving any wrong doing there.

How is this kid any different then the handful of kids who get all the attention every year? He clearly has a deal with Halifax(or another big market team) and is trying like hell to stay away from Baie-Comeau.....but that's just my opinion. I'd bet good money that this guy goes in round 1.

The quotes in that article are pretty convincing. The thing is, when a kid comes out in the media and outright lies, it hurts everyone- the team that was going to draft him, Lac St Louis, and also the USHL team that was under the impression he would be commited to them.
I understand that bluffs happen, but normally they don't go that far with them. The article said he was "relieved" to have made his decison, and his two older siblings both went to US prep school. Doesn't look good for him being in the Q, IMO. This doesn't seem to be much different than the Biega bros.
