Marvelo Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Plenty of players have had a change of heart as they played w/ a team and had success. Not a hockey player, but a great example is Jim Kelly. Guy wanted nothing to do w/ the Bills. Touche. But I feel in today's game he can change if/when he wants.

bunomatic Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 If the Sabres win the lottery and get McDavid, I see five-seven years out of him tops. Back when the Sabres selected Perreault, players couldn't force their way out of town. If they could, Perreault would've been gone to the Habs, his dream destination. As great as he was, I'm convinced he would've been greater playing out his dream. McDavid's dream is to play with the Leafs, Buffalo's chief rival, but a rivalry that doesn't mean much to anyone else in the league. In this hockey era, great players can orchestrate the situations they want. Now Pegula might bribe him into a few years with insane money, but I don't think Buffalo means much to him. You only live once and by hook or crook, I see McDavid eventually going to the Leafs, if not by some manipulation of the lottery, then a few years down the road by his choice along with a powerful agent. And Eichel, if he turns out...he grew up near Boston... Kane and Samson absolutely love Vancouver. The team and the city. Both grew up there. Lets hope they outgrow that. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is this true? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connor_McDavid McDavid considered attending Boston University and playing hockey for their team, the Terriers, but decided it would be best for his development to play in the OHL. Holy ####, McDavid and Eichel potentially would of been teammates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
