It doesn't say that he signed with Islanders, so I'm wondering if he will wait 30 days and see if he can sign on with another team. Jason Gregoire who just left North Dakota, also drafted by the Islanders was looking to do this, probably because he is from Winnipeg with their new team coming. Blake Wheeler is the only collegiate player I can think of who has done this (drafted by PHX and signed with the Bruins later).

lets face it, does anybody really want to be in the employ of Charles Wang? Anyhoo... waiting for your draft rights to expire makes plenty of sense... 30 teams bidding for you instead of one.

I was thinking she was trying to limit it to one per school but St. Louis and Thomas are both there. If that was her intent, I would have picked Gionta over Orpik.

It looked like it was on a Bolts themed webpage... I wouldn't consider some person's list to be that big of a deal unless the writer is rather major.

edit: tough break for Roli... I'd have to think this his last real chance at the Cup as a player... have to wonder what-if in Edmonton... I'll take the win but I wish Roli had a better shot.
 
Re: UML Offseason Begins

HOLY CRAP- I was half watching (had other things to do to) and every time I looked up someone was passing to the other team or having a brain fart. I think I managed to see a few offensive flurries but not many. Every game I watched but one I kept wondering how they made it that far.

Watching that was like watching the game Lowell lost in the however many OTs when we were in the tournament. In that game, by the end it was Roli against the other team. I mentioned that in the 2nd period and Lil was not a happy camper.


Nice interview from Thomas after the game talking about how Roli was playing well.
