Re: seven year itch

The '94-'95 NHL season was shortened, the '04-'05 Stanley Cup is engraved "Did Not Play," and every day this season looks increasingly endangered.

Fortunately, as I understand it, the Stanley Cup will be awarded even if the NHL doesn't play.

Re: seven year itch

Actual hockey news: NHL owners have proposed an end to signing bonuses, a five year contract limit, and big cuts to player salaries. Their proposal would even further widen the gap between haves and have-nots in NHL hockey. Fortunately South Park reruns, snack foods, and trash talk have a greater influence upon college hockey than the game. Perhaps fans in Traverse City could replace their hockey tournament with T.V. cartoon reruns and Cheetos, and benefit college hockey by doing so.

And the NHL has absolutely nothing to do with college hockey. Get your head out of your ivy league ***, numbnuts.

Even you sad Toots have heard of college players drafted by NHL teams. FYI: Among the more successful college teams some of the best players even leave for the NHL before they graduate. Also NFL salaries, signing bonuses and contract stipulations influence which school some players choose to attend and how long they choose to attend. Cartoon reruns, snack choices and name calling play a lesser role in hockey at those schools.

Actually it does. If there is a rookie max salary, why spend another year in college when you can get that max? You risk injury or underperform the following year and then not getting that max. If there is no rookie max, and a team kinda wants you to sign, you can stay back and hopefully improve your game and your future salary.

That being said, it does not excuse Oro from being an overall moran. Yes, I spelled "moran" "correctly." ;)

There's already a rookie max, so the current CBA negotiations have very little to do with college hockey, if anything.

Consider the possibility that the "rookie max" and/or signing bonuses may be changed in the new CBA. The owners are evidently determined to do just that.
