I wouldn't trade for O'Leary. Have patience, if he doesn't report to CB, the eagles will release him for the compensation pick, then draft him with a low pick next year. Yes, after thinking about it that would be the best idea. If he is saying he will only play for Halifax, then hopefully nobody would take another chance on him. Who knows, he might be 110% committed to Cornell.

Then good on Cape Breton and watch out for the Eagles. I don't think you can spend your assets worrying about who may or may not report to another team. From the sounds of it, he'd certainly be nice to have, but considering the Eagles spent a first, they'd be wanting a premium price for him, and I'm not sure the Mooseheads could pay that.

O'Leary may have told 3 teams he would report for all we know but yes I think he may have been picked by Halifax if he got to the 2nd round. They were talking to Sonier during the late part of the 1st round so were likely trying to get their pick at 24 to use on a Goalie or a player dropping.
Probably the Bathurst trade was the fall back.

Probably a smart move going the NCAA route and if he doesn't want to play in the Q, f--- em. Great tweet by J-F Damphousse, not really related to the NCAA though.

I've heard Crossley's game compared to Toews. That's not a bad thing lol. Should be able to contribute somewhat as a rookie.
I think Cam wishes he got one of the 4-5 goalies that went in the first few rounds, but that's the draft. That shit happens every year to every team. Ya gamble and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I definitely wouldn't say he looks pissed or disappointed in the video. People read waaaaaay too much into things.

Drouin didn't get traded at the draft? maybe the moose think he will be be back again ?? why would any team waste an asset trading for a guy who is 99.99999% going to play in the NHL? Everybody, Mooseheads included, knows he's not coming back. Fact he wasn't traded, means nothing.

Drouin didn't get traded at the draft? maybe the moose think he will be be back again Basically here's the situation - As Howitzer said, most teams know Drouin isn't coming back. Even tho he's the best junior player in the country who is eligible to return (other than MacKinnon), his value right now is very low because of the chance he comes back. Scenario #1 - Team A offers the Mooseheads a pick for Drouin, Mooseheads take the pick, Drouin never shows up, Team A looks stupid for wasting an asset on a guy that nobody thought would return. Scenario #2 - Team A offers the Mooseheads a pick for Drouin, he does, by some miracle, return. Team A has made off like Bandits, Cam Russel looks like an absolute idiot. Not to mention, if for some reason Drouin is back then we're instant contenders again. The chances they return are slim, but Drouin and Weegar are just that damn good that either/or would make us one of the top teams in the league in a heartbeat.

Scenario 2 would have conditions attached to him actually returning. No GM would ever make a deal like that without a clause. That being said, there's basically a 0% chance of him returning to the Q, so no team will waste an asset on it.

Lol oops, yea I guess I forgot about the possibility of a conditional deal. I don't even remember the last time I've seen something like that happen.

It would likely be picks from 2016, which have little effect on this draft. Question. Would all conditional picks like this show up immediately on the 'Trades' section on Q site, or only if he was back in the Q. I ask because so many of the 'futures' parts of deals show up down the road (ie - portions of this past Xmas trades are completed day before the draft)

I wonder if players get access to these rules. At the very least they make it complicated if they are not public knowledge. A player(family) making decisions would have to look long and hard and most are just average players trying to get some education money. I know there have been a few that got caught by changes in the past.
They only put the fluff on their websites.
