NHLPA is simply making a mountain out of a molehill.

Nothing will come of this.

I don’t see that as being the same situation. If RFA’s without a qualifying offer become UFA’s at noon July 1st they had damn well better know they’ve been tendered a qualifying offer by July 1st at noon. It’s a huge blunder on Chicago’s part and I think a penalty of some sort of penalty/slap on the wrist should be assessed but for Hawks fans’ sake I’d hate for the team to be blown up because of an oversight like this.

Obviously he’s going to have to try and skate bring everything back up to what it was before he gets back at the pro level. So your looking at a mid season return of January or February.

Ya, that really is too bad. I had a lot of hope for him in his first pro season.

BTW, your avatar helps me a tonne. I’m buying my gf a Canucks jersey on Tuesday for her birthday. She wants a vintage Bure, Canucks skate jersey. I couldn’t remember his number. Thought it was ten, but figured I should look it up. Your avy saved me the time. :thumbu:

phoenix needs to stop penciling players into their lineup right after being drafted.. boedker could have used another year in the OHL instead of going straight to the big leagues and turris was definitely rushed into the league too, even tikhonov was rushed straight in, i just really don’t like how phoenix is developing their talent

Couldn’t agree more about Turris, however, I didn’t think Boedker and Tiki had such a bad year.
