LittleBallofHate Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I should clarify that it was the final game of the WJSS for the US. Finland & Sweden are playing today. 4 hours ago, Jerzey said: Awesome about Anderson. How did Mikey McLeod look? Unfortunately, my viewing plans were not in the cards - had to take my SO to the ER. All's good now but I missed the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Well at least everything is ok. I'm sorry to hear that. From what I saw McLeod was supposed to center the first line for Canada but it doesn't look like he put up any points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Nice. Haven't heard of this Anderson kid, but I'm gonna try to stay informed on him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 What's the deal with Anderson regarding the whole.. college route and potentially becoming a UFA? He's not yet signed, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 To my understanding he's not signed yet, but we still have another year or two before its an issue? That said, I would love for this loophole to be changed. It doesn't have to be removed all together, but the players should have to go through some sort of waiver wire like in baseball.

LittleBallofHate Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Speaking of Anderson, there's some quotes/tidbits in this nhl.com article (if you keep reading down there's a section on Talvitie): https://www.nhl.com/news/five-things-learned-at-world-junior-showcase/c-290603800 Snippet: Anderson played a big role for the U.S. at the 2017 WJC and he's out for even more at the 2018 WJC, which will be held Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Buffalo. "I want to expand on what roles I can play," Anderson said. "I want to show them I have multiple dimensions and can play any position they need." Coach Bob Motzko said Anderson seems like a different player now for having gone through the World Junior process. "Just the confidence level," he said. "I got to see this last year when he was at [Minnesota-Duluth]. … He's heavy and strong, never cheats any corner. He can be on the power play, kill penalties, play on the top line, in the last minute. He's such a big-time player." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 i don't think there is a big question whether anderson will sign with NJ. He's going into his true sophomore year. the devils will hold his rights two years AFTER this year. i heard several interviews both with him and his coach that made it seem like all parties (including the devils) wanted him to have one more year and then turn pro (assuming he continues on current development path). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vesey's and Kerfoot's of the world took 2 years to put up the numbers Joey put up as a freshman. I know Nashville was trying to sign Vesey after his junior year but if NJ is aggressively trying to sign Joey after next season, two years is a lot longer to wait after one.

Daniel Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Speaking of Kerfoot, don't we get a compensatory pick if he signs somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
