What is going on with the Raymaker situation and his off ice problems can’t see London winning it yet very young defense if Bouchard does not come back.

Not defending the B.S. that goes on, but Tkatchuk isn’t really decommiting. He’s signing an NHL contract with the intention of making the NHL. If he doesn’t make it, the rules don’t allow him to return to Boston. IMO, that’s very different than the B.S. of a player saying he’s going NCAA that never sets foot on campus. I.E. Stranges.


I mean London drafted him in the 4th round a few years ago. In this case, London is just getting lucky.

He won't likely be heading back to London even if he gets cut. He wasn't drafted out of the O and is AHL eligible.

It does seem London is out according to stories about Tkachuk it is Ottawa Belleville or back to university

Everyone of the “experts” that have spoken on the subject have said it is highly unlikely he’ll be sent to the AHL. If he’s not in Ottawa, he’ll be in London.

He can’t go back to university. He’s planning on signing, once he does that, he is ineligible to return to the NCAA.

I'd be extremely surprised but if you listen to Doug MacLean talk about an OHL team offering him big time cash to send a player back to junior(Rick Nash?) and knowing Melnyk can be frugal it wouldn't shock me.
