The only players who "get 9" are the junior aged players. Hutton can be sent to the AHL and recalled any time. If you remember last year the Oilers kept Dr. Dre up for 15 or something games before returning him to Prince Albert. One year of his ELC burnt.

How many games is it before they lose a year of RFA eligibility? I know the Rangers sent down Duclair mid-season to avoid him reaching UFA status a year early.

Once you turn pro, the thing that restricts RFA/UFA is NHL games played or "years played" I'm not sure what number of games constitutes a season, but Hutton can be the Canucks yo-yo on D this season.

Downsizing?

If that lineup makes you bark, yours must have you howling at the moon.

Trying to sell, downsizing a bit. Trading in the high priced postal code for one a little more reasonable.

On a side note do you have a link for the game tonight?

Agreed. Green seems like that rare type that can coach a two-way system and be hard-on guys, yet the players like him.

The only fear I have is there is a little Eakins in him. But seems to have a better understanding of the game. He explains what a player does well and what he believes said player needs to do to improve.

Biumeester and Staal were both UFA at 25.

We are on a large, mostly unusable lot, with a large house. Looking for something a little more manageable. Its a great house, in a great spot, but just too much for us right now.

Did they start playing at 18?

And so will McDavid etc. When you start playing at 18 you become an UFA at 25...

We'll stay in Vic I think. Maybe Brentwood Bay, or North Saanich, but would prefer to stay closer to our son's school.

Had Gagner reached UFA status it would have been at 24

The house we bought last yr, the school is right behind us(backs on too our yard and the arena is right beside it.

I don't see Green as concerned about his hair and whether reporters eat donuts.

He wouldn't of been in the NHL for 7 years at 24 though
