Re: Who is the competition?
I am not speaking on behalf of USCHO, but my opinion is once a player is gone, they are gone. The main emphasis for USCHO looks to be how that affects their college hockey team and not the pro team they signed with. If contract information is made available, it is included. If not, I would assume that resources are not spent tracking it down as opposed to, you know, covering college hockey. You do often see mentions of a former player making the NHL team, but that is usually tracked by league correspondents and not the news wing of USCHO. I know I include any NHL deals in my AHA column because they are rare.
