It doesn't matter who has "committed" at stage, there is no such thing as loyalty or keeping your promise in minor hockey. Any player can decommit right up until January. Don't be surprised if we see lots of decommits and recommits between now and January. Don't base your decision on who you think has committed to the team. Base it on coaching. Only those that have backbone / integrity and have faith in their player's ability to earn their ice time and positioning on a team, will stay true to their commitments.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 6:45 pmBecause he’s smart.

Re: 2009 GTHL AAA
Decommitting at any point after August is a guaranteed way to have your draft stock fall. If you aren’t on the radar of any scouts than I guess it doesn’t matter but that would also mean decommitting is pointlessGuest wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 7:28 pmIt doesn't matter who has "committed" at stage, there is no such thing as loyalty or keeping your promise in minor hockey.

Players that leave for financial reasons may lack character and any good scout would do his homework on this.
Also players that have played on multiple teams in multiple years are a concern.

Re: 2009 GTHL AAA
Not a smart move. Must be financially driven. From where I'm sitting he traded ice time and hierarchy level for a few more wins. The move won't change draft rank positively just becausehes now with DMF. Hell, I'd rather my kid play vs DMF to get him ready for next level.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 6:11 pmWhy did 88 go to DMF?

If they are leaving a team for better coaching then it makes sense to changeGuest wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 9:33 pmGuest wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 7:28 pmIt doesn't matter who has "committed" at stage, there is no such thing as loyalty or keeping your promise in minor hockey.

As for financial reasons, I doubt any scout would give a damn. If someone needs financial help then they have to do what they have to do for their kid. It's really nobody's business or concern.
