Jake Muzzin wasn`t offered a contract by his NHL team. Nobody batted an eye because he was still an NHL talent and ended up getting a contract by the Kings and eventually made the NHL. No one lost.
If a player who isn't an NHL talent doesn't get offered a contract by his NHL team, the NHL team isn't screwing him over, his own talent is.
What do the Preds get out of this? Nada. For a player who is probably an NHL talent.
It'd be nice if there were a rule where Vesey can sign his UFA contract in August 2017 instead of August 2016. I wonder if he would change his mind.
