Originally posted by Nevergoodenough View PostOK, I'm not fueling this rumor..... BUT- If you put yourselves in the slippers of the ATL program you have to wonder what is happening to your First Round Draft Pick.... Should I bring him in-house to fatten him up, or do I let him sit in East Lansing and keep chasing the girls instead of eating. But seriously, what does a professional program think when you have your #1 draft pick out there... I don't know.
It is important that players use their years at MSU to develop certain skills like solid 2 way play. Along the way they do extensive weight training and conditioning. However, the professional teams have endless resources that can help develop these players into exactly who they want them to be. If ATL sees that Leveille is not developing physically at MSU, they may want to take him under their wing and monitor him more closely.

True, he may have gained 25 pounds last off-season, but he's still really scrawny.

Originally posted by JTWRJW View PostCan't blame the kid in his situation. Most people in his position would jump at the chance. I won't be too surprised if Tropp ends up leaving as well. I cannot see Leveille leaving early as he still needs to develop physically which he can do at MSU without Atlanta paying for it. I could see Grant leaving early.

Originally posted by aallenpollreisz View PostWell, here's the deal for Rowe: Either he pays 1/10th or 1/5th of in-state tuition to play for MSU, or, he jumps and makes $500,000 with the Flyers or (more likely) $87,500 with the Phantoms.
I don't blame the kid for grasping the brass ring.
Since MSU encourages their kids to attend summer school, I am thinking he is closer to graduating from school than one might think.

Originally posted by Arwen22266 View PostInstead of being negative toward Philadelphia, let us hope they recognized talent in Andrew Rowe and offered him an opportunity he couldn't turn down. This is someone with good family support, and I would at least like to think he consulted with his family before making a decision.
After having had the chance to attend Ernie Harwell's visitation earlier tonight, I am reminded that we all occasionally need to reorder our priorities. Flame me if you want, but we are fans, alums or students - we're not out there playing. This is not about us. Whatever happens to this team next year - as disheartening as it may be to the fans - life will go on off the ice, or it won't. Make the best of it.
