We gambled on a bunch of guys that had closed the door on NCAA hockey years ago only to have the door unexpectedly re-opened by a rule change. They made their original decision because they thought it was the best path to a pro contract. Some of them continue to use that as their guiding light. I predict Evaschesen will never see NCAA ice. Would you recruit him knowing he will only have 3 years of eligibility and he'd probably skip out on that for the first pro offer that came his way. He's made his choice and will have to play it out. At least 7 of the major junior players appear to have followed through on their commitment so maybe we should be thankful for that.
P.S. I wonder if Medicine Hat reached out to Evaschesen or he got cold feet and his advisors reached out to the Tigers and said, "If you can get his rights he'll cash in his plane ticket." They certainly gave up a lot to get single season rights to a guy only a year removed from a 15 point season in the BCHL. He’s a good player but not a guaranteed star.
