Forge Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm not sure Casey will sign this off season...which is mildly concerning. I'm assuming that this is largely due to their not being on the NHL roster for him right now and he'd rather stay at Michigan than play in Utica, but the closer you get to that Free agent route, the more appealing it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Tom Fitzgerald revealed that he and Casey’s camp have been in contact, however, the prospect defenseman is undecided, though leaning toward turning pro. “If I was a betting man, I’d say he’s turning pro,” Fitzgerald explained. “When you forego the rest of your college career you have to be two feet in. We’re going to give him all the time he needs” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he'll get more than I'd be willing to go, but I have no problem going 3 x 7.5 Wouldn't be surprised if teams want to go one year either though. After next year he's eligible for 35+ contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but wouldn't be surprised if the market is limited in multi year deals, and I think market / location will matter for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. Players have never gravitated there. Perhaps it's leftover stigma from the Lou and McMullen era. There's definitely a perception issue. Doesnt help when Johnny hockey basically **** on the devils for Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Wouldn't surprise me if Jersey had one of the highest no trade percentages too (beyond the Canadian teams, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
