Was over lurking on the Moose board and seems like a few of them wanted the Mooseheads to draft O'Leary

Yea that doesn't make any sense... Why would a player become ineligible for an entire year? And how did SJ draft Jack Eichel in 2013?

hockeyguy92 - Yes. O'Leary seems to be legitimately favoring the collage route. Speculation was that if any team has the chance to get him to report to the Q, it would be hometown Mooseheads. @j4m13 - I think that was before the rule change.

Do you have a link to that rule? Everything I read says you release the players rights a week before the draft and they re-enter the draft but I know the QMJHL likes to change rules. I can't find it any where but I remember one of the last Board of Govenors they changed the compensation to 4 picks later then the pick was made the following year. At first when I heard it I thought it was dumb move too but now it forces the players hand. It's one of those if you don't play for them then you can't play for 2 years. It's really only way the league can make a player report to small market teams. And also in Eichel's case another team can't just steal him for nothing. There are more reasons than not wanting to play for small markets. Some chose hometowns, others are language and schooling, and some simply want a good franchise or the best place to develop. I think the big market vs small market is less than it once was.

Their biggest bargaining tool with O'Leary is the compete level this team will have the next two years. A lot of scouts will have eyes on this team with bishop and the Russian. Dumont has some leverage but only time will tell.

Dumont has some leverage but only time will tell. It will also be a help that Gary MacLean won the trophy for Academic Advisor of the year. I'm the that's something the Eagles will use to try and sell him on reporting.

I think the big market vs small market is less than it once was. I know all the reasons for not playing for team A or B. But this is really the only way a the league can force a players hand in the NCAA game. In this case the player that were talking about the only thing that's different from CB is it's not home. School system would be same as here (I know he went to prep down in the states thou). Just he won't be going with friends he grew up with. They speak English (sorta). It's only 5 hours from home. They have a university there when that time comes too.

Here's where I seen it and now that I read it not sure about its one of those how do you interpret it. Anyways here's the link it was under and it came from the Q board like 3 pages back under Changes In QMJHL Rules. www.theqmjhl.ca/article/changes-in-qmjhl-rules
