@scottcwheeler Nice. With the amount of players going to new teams for 26/27 it might make sense for the collective media to provide lists with both the 25-26 team and actual/expected 26-27 team for every player. cc @nhl @espnnhl @NHL_On_TNT @TSNHockey @Sportsnet @spittinchiclets @nhlpa

@23MAlyssa @CHN_AdamWodon Sorry for the typos! I saw your bio and I have a data idea for the hockey community that I don’t think has been integrated into analytics community yet. DM me if you want to discuss.

@23MAlyssa @CHN_AdamWodon I really lies to your other reply using your 8/1 clarification for implications for junior 🏒 minded folks where eligibility is calendar year based. This will matter to that community.

[Roger Chiasson @Roger_Chiasson]

@23MAlyssa Thanks. Very clear now. For junior 🏒 folks used to calendar year all U20 19 year olds born 1/1-8/1 seeking 5 for 5 can’t play their age 19 season. The 9/2-12/31 cohort can.

@MikeMcMahonCHN Mike - is it accurate to say with this news that if you are U20 eligible freshman year you get 5 for 5 (like WJC eligibility). So all 2007s enrolling this year get 5 years? Or can a late 2007 born after the start of the academic year actually enroll in 27-28 and have 5 for 5?

@TSNJR @barnmuckin now its a full on conspiracy Chester! Quick go tell all these kids they are making a huge mistake.

@worldhockeyrpt It was John Weisbrod who said that.

@StephRDSJunior @Sebhockey24 @CharlesAnt56105 In baseball if you hit 0.350 in A ball and bat 4th in the order, you get moved to AA to hit 6th and face older/better pitching and defense vs trying to hit 0.400 in A ball. It's all about development and many players are making the decision to move to AA (NCAA) now vs waiting.

@603Chief @SchlossmanGF "playing by the rules" hoping to get an offer at 20/21 was unlikely to happen regardless of new rules. Coaches gladly took best 18 yo, told all tweeners to do 2-3 junior and everyone played along. CHL recruits now 40% of NCAA commits and that reality has yet to fully sink in.

@barnmuckin @vichrodrigues @1n5ertNam3 @BrockOtten Stop repeatedly being an a-hole just because someone disagrees with. It’s a sign of weakness and a major tell that you have been dummied in a debate and don’t have a leg to stand on.

[Roger Chiasson @Roger_Chiasson]

@barnmuckin @vichrodrigues @1n5ertNam3 @BrockOtten Amazing!!! It just flew right over your head didn’t it Chester. Faber is going to be a Top 2/4 D for a decade + on a 8-year $68MM contract. Maybe - just maybe Chester - it truly is about development and not his NCAA stat line.

[Roger Chiasson @Roger_Chiasson]

@barnmuckin @1n5ertNam3 @BrockOtten I’ll leave that to Coach Carle. You can’t accept all these players choosing DU for the next phase of their development. I trust the folks involved in those decisions and understand why they made them as they all have eyes on a $100MM+ prize. But hey you know better.

[Roger Chiasson @Roger_Chiasson]

@vichrodrigues @barnmuckin @1n5ertNam3 @BrockOtten Bingo. Ryan McDonagh another great example. Top 4 D for 15 years with PP2 early in his career. Reminds me of Daneyko v Lou story when he wanted PP time. Lou said every team is like a band and asked Dani is - long term - he was a better singer or drummer. He chose the drums.

@dylan_lukinchuk @pwrguy2001 @BCHL_Alberta I don’t know all the rules by league but min 18 in SUI where AM34 played. More could but seems like NA options preferable to NA players.
