Originally posted by ColinWilsonFan View PostAgain ... you don’t understand ...the goal is to burn a year of elc and that is 3 years no matter what .. in the case of oettinger krys they sign and play jisbyewr but don’t get to burn a year of their ELC .. it doesn’t make sense in a lot of not most cases to leave a high end D1 program to go play in the AHL and if they leave and they don’t get to burn a year of elc like for example mccavoy did or Eichel even JFK then they usually stay the ATO for oettinger is same for the others that aren’t officially burning a year of and want to play ... I suspect farabee isn’t going to play so no need and I suspect chad has same del so as not being able to burn a year of elc ... until next year ... I would be surprised if Fabbro doesn’t get the chance to burn a year of ELC
Option A: sign now and start burning ELC at beginning of 2019/2020 NHL season no matter what.
Option B: go back to BU and sign at end of next season and hope they put you on NHL roster to start ELC year which rarely happens.
Option C: go back to BU and sign and start burning ELC at beginning of 2020/2021 NHL season no matter what.
Very rare for an NHL to burn an ELC year for 10 or so games unless they player is an absolute stud ala McAvoy/Eichel where the player can help the NHL team immediately. They chose Option A which I get since they probably werent offered Option B.

Originally posted by Nick Papagiorgio View PostOettinger and Fabbro will burn a year no matter what next year; I believe as they are not "slide eligible" as they are both 20 already. Farrabee appears to be slide eligible and would need to appear in 10 games to burn his first year of his ELC.
I think.

Originally posted by ColinWilsonFan View PostCorrect but If as Jonny gaudreau for example did and played one game with Calgary and burned a year the same thing would be the case for the guys signing except farabee which is why they are playing in ATO’s well at least krys and oettinger .. I think Fabbro plays this year and burns a year ...farabee seemingly can’t play anyway because of his injury so contract is for next year

Originally posted by Lemonade View PostFabbro burns a year because Nashville lost leverage if Fabbro came back to BU he would become a FA. Nashville would then lose Fabbro for nothing so they dangle burning a year of ELC to get him to sign.

Originally posted by ColinWilsonFan View PostYou are more on track now I don’t necessarily agree as in some cases players have leverage wouldn’t call JFK or Colin White studs ... but again the player has more control in the current situation and unless they know (or are falsely promised ) they get NHL time and a chance to burn first year they are less likely to go unless there are other reasons that’s all I am saying

Originally posted by Lemonade View PostI think we agree but I am probably not clear in my describing the situations. Each player has a unique situation and all want to get paid and as fast as possible. Not sure that relates to the coaching at BU. The type of players they get its becoming the norm for doing as little time at BU as necessary to then jump to the pro level. Sometimes works (Eichel) and sometimes it doesnt (long list of players leaving too early).
See I don’t totally agree with that it isn’t always that each player wanted to get paid as fast as possible of course they all want to get paid but want the best situation where they get to develop and get a chance to play and quickest path to the NHL no one wants to sign to languish in the AHL or worse when maybe staying in school would be a better choice development wise and quality of life wise ... now if you feel that not to be the case then it changes the calculus which I think is what some people are saying and asking about what those reasons may be

Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!
Albie certainlly has a rough road ahead and it will be interesting to see how much rope he has. Next year looks like a total rebuild year and thats not going to go over well. I think administration has to give him a few years to instill his stamp on the program but its going to be rough waters until BU comes out of this downturn. Only thing that is a positive is I think Umass comes back to pack with Makar leaving, PC will be good, Umass Lowell/UNH/UMaine/UConn/Merrimack/VT arent good either so Hockey East is pretty crappy. BC has a great recruiting class coming in but for how long and how long do they stay for? BU can still be decent in this conference.Last edited by Lemonade; 03-25-2019, 01:40 PM.
