[Standing Room Smoking Cigs]

Is another year of suffering, help us land a player from Pegs other Squad? Is worth it?

Apparently he’s making 700K from this decision too.

As in Gavin? Penn state must really be trying to build up the hockey program

Football players are getting 5 million plus.  Crazy how little hockey gets.

Just like major league pro sports, minor league pro sports pay football and basketball more.

I wonder how much of the 700K due to Pegula.

Doesn’t have to be with NIL.  Terry could’ve offered McKenna 3 million to come to Penn St if he wanted to.  Rules have gone out the window in college athletics.

Remember the outrage around here from a poster or two when Auston Matthews went to that pro league in Switzerland instead of major junior?  Well look where the hockey world has gone now.

It will be interesting to see if his production drops playing against 23-24 years olds.

Will all these kids transferring from the CHL to the NCAA see their draft stock drop as a result?
