Not surprised he signed

Another talented player (also not surprising) signs after just one season at MSU:

After seeing him in the NCAA Tournament I didn't think he was that good to go in the top 5.

Is this finally the end to 5th year players.  I believe that is the case.

I sure hope so.  It is more enjoyable watching and playing against teams with 4 year eligible players.

I feel terrible for him. I remember watching him in his youth days…he was so good. 

[brianvf]

Dang that’s a sad turn of events. That’s too bad, wonder what happened as it sounded like he stayed at UMD the spring semester and practiced with the team.

Sounds like there's something more to this. I hope He figures things out. 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Sounds like he wasn't ready for college, and not just the game. Brad Berry right now: 

[Tbone]

Berry & staff seemed to do the right thing by wanting to delay Spicer and bringing in Dylan James.
Others on here were sharply critical of the move. Kind of shows why we are on here posting and not behind the bench coaching, eh?

My recollection is this board was more critical of Spicer and agent/family/etc than Berry, especially with Ryder Donovan as an example fresh in everyone's mind.

Yeah, I don't know.  Without going back and checking, I think the pitchforks and torches were out for Berry, not Spicer. 

[burd]

Berry took a lot of shyt from a fair number of posters here.  Another reminder of how all of us are prone to reach conclusions based upon speculation. 

[nodakgirl93]

Could be mental health issues? I hope whatever it is he finds his way back to the ice.

In today's world, you can now just say, "I don't want to play for your team", and then you ask for a trade. I remember a time when this was frowned upon. 

 

Quote

 

The Pittsburgh Penguins and recently-acquired forward Rutger McGroarty have agreed to terms on an entry-level contract.

McGroarty, to whom the Jets dealt to the Steel City for fellow prospect Brayden Yager, made it abundantly clear this summer that he had no desire to sign in Winnipeg.

Whether or not that dissonance was inspired from outside sources or if it truly was a lack of interest in playing in the AHL, the truth may never come out. (Hockey News)
