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.

Re: Who is the competition?
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.

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.

Originally posted by Osorojo View PostBeen stated where?
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.

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.Last edited by Nick Papagiorgio; 07-31-2013, 01:28 PM.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The 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.
