Actually I clarified with the guys down in Boston today and I can make any order above 10, so that means I don't have to round things off.

I am really trying to temper my expectations for this kid but I am having a really hard time not being convinced he is a future star. He seems to have that drive and motivation to go along with skill that will trump his size disadvantage.

Okay, so I am clueless when it comes to this stuff usually. Is NBC Sports Network available through Telus TV? If not what is the link to their legal stream? I am coming up with blanks on my search.

Here's a longer version of the highlights from BC's loss last night with a better look at Gaudreau's assist at 1:50. His goal is at 4:20.

haha, no way. I was just watching the box score and I thought that BU might have gotten under his skin. 3 minors, slashing, high-sticking, and checking from behind. Did you listen/watch?

Ho-hum, another day, another accolade for Johnny.

Gaudreau named Hockey East's Player of the Month for November: http://flames.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=647021

Great news and congrats for being player of the month! This guy is building up a strong following with these kinds of accomplishments!

If there was an NHL season - is there any way Gaudreau could get called up for a few games? As in, should his team's season end before the Flames' season ends, do legalities/contracting issues allow for this to happen?

Well he would then kill any eligibility that he would have with BC so besides the fact the Flames would be unlikely to need/want to call him up it would seem doubtful that he would throw away his NCAA eligibility for a late season call-up for a game or two.

Zero chance Gaudreau plays a professional game unless he decides he's done with school.

That sounds fantastic for his development... take a fledgling star that is more or less killing it and bump him all the way up to top teir professional hockey. How about we let him finish up with BC then talk about jumping to the Flames.

Take it easy pal, who raised you, where did you get your personality? You come across as very disrespectful, regardless of your intentions.

Anyway, so that would end his NCAA eligibility..ah..thats what I was looking for. I can't wait to see this kid in a Flames jersey, hopefully he completes his career at BC and doesn't pull a you know what/who.

I can see Johnny Hockey turning pro as early as next season, even with only two years of NCAA under his belt.

He'll be 20 in August, and if he hammers out a 70 ~ point season this year, he won't have much left to accomplish at that level IMO.

I can see that happening too. Then have him play a year in the AHL to get accustomed to the longer schedule.

If that comes across as very disrespectful then I wonder what you think of the rest of the forum. I am honestly sorry if a bit of sarcasm made you question not only myself as a person, but my parents and my upbringing. Sorry I hurt your feelings.

But back on topic, I don't think he can pull a Schultz. I thought it was because Justin was supposed to play in the OHL (?) but opted to play college. I thought that was more or less the loophole. Johnny committed to BC from the get go, did he not.

I freely admit to not knowing everything about the situation. Isn't Turner Elson the only Flames prospect capable of Schultzing?

the "loophole" is if a player players a season in the USHL or some other lower junior league after being drafted but before going the college route.

It is not so much a loophole as it is a rule that allows the player to become an unsigned UFA after 4 years after being drafted like every other player that goes to college after being drafted.
