stickboy1956 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I agree, but I think people are making too big of a deal with the signing deadline. If Wheeler were to go all four years at UMN, he wouldn't automatically become a free agent. The Coyotes would have until August following his graduation to sign him. There is ZERO doubt in my mind that they'd be able to do just that. If PHX doesn't sign him this off-season, there is no incentive for Wheeler to sign with them after his senior year - he just has to wait untill August and he can have his pick of teams. Other teams would be intetested no doubt, driving up his price. He is no TJ Oshie, but he isn't a AJ Thelen/bust either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams would be intetested no doubt, driving up his price. He is no TJ Oshie, but he isn't a AJ Thelen/bust either. Wheeler would have huge incentive to sign with Phoenix no matter what. They are the only team that can pay him old CBA money. We are talking the difference between Turris (and everyone now) bonus money $85K and vs. old CBA money $500K+. The only way he doesn't sign with Pheonix is if they have given up on him and refuse to pay. Most seem to think he can be an NHL top six forward and that Pheonix will pony up.

That'll go along well with bartending maybe He'd be one that wouldn't really surprise me if he left, there's nothing for him to stay for, he's not going to play.

If he wants to continue playing hockey thats his only option. Unlike the guys leaving early from the Sioux by choice because they will contribute immediately in the NHL, Frazee needs a change of environment.

Honestly? AZSioux's idea of the ECHL affiliate would be awfully nice, but my bet is one of two places: 1. CHL or UHL (now called the IHL). These are considered NHL minor leagues, though very much in the loose sense. It's not often that a CHL or IHLer makes the NHL, but the NHL has sent players there in the past for various reasons. 2. Overseas: Frazee, if no CHL or IHL team calls, might want to investigate a league like the Finnish Elite or Swedish Elite League. Best guesses, but seriously, for a 3rd round pick who had nothing but stellar junior and international performances leading into college, he's certainly taken quite a nose-dive. Well, at least, for a former big shot USA U18 goaltender, he hasn't has the type of plummet Dominic Vicari had. That guy went from U20 backup to complete anonymity.

I think actually he was near the top of the 2nd round wasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
