InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Tkachuk to London. I'm guessing we hear about Matthews next. I may be burned at the stake for this, but good riddance. I can't remember a player I have disliked more in an exhibition game in my time watching UND hockey. Quote
brianvf Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 http://www.cjbk.com/local-sports/2015/05/08/matthew-tkachuk-joins-the-knights I hadn't heard anything about Tkachuk accelerating his education in order to go to a NCAA campus this fall. I forget if he was a 15/16 commit or a 16/17 originally. Quote
cberkas Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 http://www.cjbk.com/local-sports/2015/05/08/matthew-tkachuk-joins-the-knights I hadn't heard anything about Tkachuk accelerating his education in order to go to a NCAA campus this fall. I forget if he was a 15/16 commit or a 16/17 originally. He accelerated and was suppose to come to Notre Dame in 2015/16. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 The Matthews saga has more layers now. The Swedish league. Very good competition. Decent development facilities. Swedish women and their...uhhHem assets And more money that the WHL (debateable) I still dream of him in the Sioux program but...uffda. http://m.thn.com/blog/exclusive-top-2016-draft-prospect-auston-matthews-could-play-in-europe-next-year/ Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Switzerland not Sweden. Wooooops....yep...guess I had Swedish chicks on the mind..... SwedeLadies....SwissLadies..... Either way.... Quote
SiouxBoys Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Wooooops....yep...guess I had Swedish chicks on the mind..... SwedeLadies....SwissLadies..... Either way.... I feel that if he is basing his decision on girls, he should take Ralph Cox's advice. Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Now that report has been refuted by Matthews and he HAS NOT signed but is still mulling options.... Although I truly think it is less than 1% to see him in NCAA at this point. Quote
Emerald joker Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Now that report has been refuted by Matthews and he HAS NOT signed but is still mulling options.... Although I truly think it is less than 1% to see him in NCAA at this point. You're going with even that much of a possibility? Lol Quote
siouxnami Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Matthews is unlikely to play college hockey as a result of a fluke of his birthday. Quote
MafiaMan Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/762088 Dang. Coached by ex-Colorado Goonalanche boss Marc Crawford? Ugh. Quote
SJHovey Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Smells like a ploy to negotiate a better "education" package out of Everett, or some other Canadian team. Quote
scpa0305 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Now that report has been refuted by Matthews and he HAS NOT signed but is still mulling options.... Although I truly think it is less than 1% to see him in NCAA at this point. I don't necessarily think it's that low. He obviously doesn't want to play in the CHL and wants to play against older competition. He would have nothing to prove at the CHL level. I'm guessing he ends up going to the Swiss league and unbiasedly think that's a decent idea. Biasedly I would really like for him to play a year of college hockey. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I keep seeing that he is still a Junior in HS and has not been accelerating, but then I see his family advisor saying that NCAA is still an option,..... So either it's the truth...or.... All is being leveraged against each other, maybe Everett was unwilling to either "pay up" pr trade his rights "to someone who will" , and the threat of NCAA wasn't doing it..... "Leaking a $500k contract". ....could be just basically telling the WHL what it will take to get the deal done. But from a competition level Swiss league is a better fit than both NCAA and WHL imo Quote
rhenry8439 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 $500k at 17 years old. that's like hanging a carrot in front of a starving rabbit. That's gfhockey kind of money 2 Quote

I suspect he wants Everett to "pay up" the way Rimouski Oceanic did to get Crosby back in the day. Quote
cberkas Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Callan Foote signed with Kelowna Rockets of the WHL, they also drafted his brother Nolan in this years Bantam Draft Quote
willythekid Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Brady Tkachuk commits to BU. We'll see if his word is any better than his brothers... Quote
cberkas Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 We'll see if his word is any better than his brothers... True Sounds like he had interest from NCHC schools. Quote
cberkas Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 RBC Cup is going on Penticton is 2-1 in the tournament. Fabbro leads the team in points with 3 assists, Jost has a goal and an assist. Bellerive and Ward are with the team, only Bellerive has played. Quote
cberkas Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Jost with a goal in a Penticton 5-2 win in their last round robin game. Quote
cberkas Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 You can watch Penticton play in the RBC Cup. Two periods left score 0-0. http://stats.hockeycanada.ca/game/show/9750642?subseason=205429&_ga=1.7755762.1596315608.1423014976 Quote
