      So the snack-pac doesn't know or care if early departures sign for fifteen hundred dollars or five hundred thousand dollars, or whether they report to the Bae-Comeau Drakkar, the Gwinnett Gladiators, or directly to the NHL. Speaking of drugs, what do they put in those Cheetos anyway?

            Once again you have decided to start a thread over a non-existent issue and then decided to stick your fingers in your ears when people point that out. What, exactly, is the conversation you are hoping to initiate?

            The details of a contract are not immediately released in most cases. Once they become public, it is not difficult to find the information. It's already been stated that Jooris signed an entry level contract (so you have at least an idea about what the numbers will look like) and will play for the Flames' affiliate in Penticton.

            Now that you have that information, what is it you plan on doing with it in way of determining who the "competition" is?
            Just a heads up, the issue of early departures and the decision by players to leave college for minor league hockey is one that is not new and that has been discussed in relation to various other topics for well over a decade.
            Welcome to Division 1 college hockey.

                  Thats correct no one cares. There are two sides of the fan base.... those that are happy a kid from their team signed and is moving on and those that are sad they are losing a quality player. No one gives a flying_fukc what they signed for, as for where they are playing... well that's apparent to the fans who have been watching them for the past season.


                  I will say this, you sure do make the off season interesting. Much better then "____________ getting a D1 hockey team"

                    Been stated where? [why not here?] This college hockey topic, like all others, has been previously discussed on this site. So what? I suspect many of the opinions and many of the arguments expressed about early departures have considered only the information about early signing contracts and player destinations provided by this site: in a word, ZILCH. My purpose in starting this thread is to encourage USCHO editors to include and USCHO patrons to request more facts about early departures opposed to offering more opinions from coaches and fans. Why? So site users can form more reasoned conclusions about a phenomenon which dismays a significant number of college hockey fans. Those who prefer pleasant dining experiences over facts, nosh on.

                      Yes, why is a website about college hockey that has a limited staff not providing every single piece of information about the lives of players once they go pro and at that point are no longer college hockey players. It's almost as if they are deciding to devote their limited resources to the players still in college and the teams that they play for.

                        French Rage:
                        Except for the preposterous "not providing every single piece of information . . ." your point is well taken. Perhaps the better-informed users of this site would share their knowledge of the immediate circumstances of early departure players. Many fans are not at all hesitant to express dismay over early departures or praise the deeds of their team's early departures to the pros. Why not share the basic facts of why and how they turned pro? Contributors eager to share their repulsive gustatory proclivities might even possess some pertinent factual knowledge of early departures which they would be willing to share.

                          Oddly enough, most of the questions you want answers to are found in the NHL's CBA. For example:
                          If a college player is announced as having signed with an NHL club, they have signed an entry level contract which is ALWAYS a two way contract and those players will play with the NHL club or with an affiliated AHL club based on an evaluation by the NHL staff.

                          The maximum and minimum payments, signing bonus, and many other matters are also included in the CBA under entry level contracts.

                            99.9% go like this:

                            Why? Because the player wanted to go pro*
                            How? The pro team offered him a contract, he picked up a pen and signed it.

                            *Exception here is for players that blew it academically or got kicked out of school like the rapists at BU.

                            Are you happy now? Shut up and google the friggin players if you want to know more about where they will report and what the terms of their contract are. Capgeek is always an interesting place to kill some time.

                            The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.
