runaroundsioux Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Early departure Derek Forbort took a skate to the ear from another early departure Zach Parise. This is why you shouldn't leave early. He came back and finished the game too. #siouxtough Quote

Instead he was a one-man show much like Wolanin this year. Well then Jost sure made Gersich look good last year. Great players bring up the level of play of the people around them. Quote

Not to mention, you are getting paid to play hockey. Is this really an argument? Lol Haha. These kids only go to und to have a shot at the NHL. Even the undrafted ones pick und to develop them into being a professional hockey player (at any level). Most players learn the tradition and the want for a natty while at und. Und would just be another stop along the way to their ultimate goal. Most fans (especially that never played the game) don’t understand that. It’s similar to those folks who get upset when a soon to be senior in HS decides to play junior hockey rather than for their hometown HS team...they need to bring in a sense of community and “how could you not want to play one more year with your best friends”. These kids are hockey players first with the goal of playing in the NHL. Due to the NCAA loophole, I do think most kids get pushed far too quickly however. 1 Quote

He's got the talent. He was the Caps MVP in development camp, so they obviously value him a lot and don't want to lose him to FA. Quote

He was almost guaranteed to play in the NHL. Otherwise, I don't think he would have left. Parise would have stayed in school if he knew the lockout was coming for 2004-05. So he was stuck in the minors for that year. I'd have to refresh my memory, but I think it was to Parise's benefit to get to the NHL before the lockout, knowing that a lockout was coming. I think this way he could sign a larger rookie deal as the rules on that were about to change. Something along those lines... I actually think if there wasn't a lockout coming that year, he may have stayed. 3 Quote

Hoping it works out well for Shane. Maybe the Caps system is more conducive to his style of play. Living in AZ, I remember how much hype there was here for Hextall when he signed early with the Coyotes. That didn't work out very well but hopefully Shane's career goes well. 2 Quote
