Star QB Brendan Sorsby is applying to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, sources tell NFL Network.
After legal wrangling about his NCAA eligibility, Sorsby — regarded as a first-round talent — now could be the highest-drafted supplemental pick in decades.
@kelsey_surmacz4 That’s fair. I just don’t see 1. Anyone else working with Tanger and 2. Muse dropping Tanger from the lineup. It feels like the only other option atp.
@CJ20265200@nhlpens I just don’t see a need to sacrifice him for this season when Stu has been solid and Artie had been playing well until lately. If this was happening all season long, fair enough. Also, Artie isn’t on a two way deal. If we call up Murashov, I’m pretty sure he can’t be sent down.
@CJ20265200@nhlpens He has been inconsistent in his last several starts in the AHL. All reports indicate he will be up next year full time and that the pens are going to be extremely aggressive this offseason with the trade market.
@nhlpens Not to mention, this isn’t our “all in” year. Next year is. He will also be in the NHL next year. Why sacrifice him now when we know our best chance will be next season? Sure, we have a chance this season, but shouldn’t do anything to sacrifice next season.
@DimFilipovic@BizNasty2point0 Dan Muse has gotten the best from every player in the locker room this season. He encourages EK to play his game and doesn’t punish him when he makes mistakes. It allows EK to play freely at both ends and it has improved his play tremendously. Incredible player and coach combo.
@spenny1412@JFreshHockey I feel pretty confident he would. Goes to a winning team with established veterans with less pressure on him to be “the guy.” He also would be joining fellow Swedes Karlsson and Rakell.
@spenny1412@JFreshHockey That is what the current ask is, but I think we have leverage considering every other team in talks for him will need Vancouver to take on terrible contracts to make the cap work.
Although, I’d pay that (and maybe a little more) if they were willing to take Graves’ contract.
@JFreshHockey Hear me out… Elias Pettersson? We’re one of the only teams that can afford to take on his whole contract without needing to send out bad contracts. Won’t cost a lot of assets to acquire. Muse has been able to elevate our roster, who is to say he can’t do the same for EP?
@TheKardiacDawgs He hasn’t been signed yet. That is just the reported contract he is looking for. Rapoport hasn’t reported a signed deal so no need to worry. I’m pretty confident he’s hitting the open market.
“I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that. I think if we don’t do that, I do believe I probably would be impeached"
