This whole city is starting to like Gaudette ALOT. Great later round draft pick by Benning. I wish Gillis could have drafted well, but he didn’t. Completely hopeless at it

Quinn Hughes lost his game today so his college career is over. We should see him in Vancouver soon, though he has a bruised foot which could delay his first start.

ya, they lost 4-1. Benning will give him a day to get over the disappointment but I expect we will have news soon. Unless he decides not to sign until July. No......
Think Lockwood gets a call too.

Hughes likely takes a few days off to heal his bruised foot, get some healing/letting go of his NCAA time, then get mentally prepared for starting his NHL career.
Lockwood ATO for Utica! signs ELC in the offseason.

Quick conversation with Hughes Family Advisor, Pat Brisson. Quinn Hughes will return to Ann Arbour with his team tonight from the Twin Cities. He and his family will have discussions later tonight.
Benning is already all over it.

Lockwood contemplating returning to NCAA for one more year. Does this mean he’s going to go UFA route?

Interesting - did you hear the Friedman report or was there somewhere else you heard it as well? He’s not a top prospect by any means but if he doesn’t sign this offseason you have to trade him for whatever you can get, can’t lose him for nothing.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 7:49 pm Lockwood contemplating returning to NCAA for one more year.

Oh crap! That's not good. Personally, I think that's a tad risky on his part. Shake your head, Will...Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 7:49 pm Lockwood contemplating returning to NCAA for one more year. Does this mean he’s going to go UFA route?

I think it's posturing. Benning wants him in Utica on an ATO. Lockwood wants his NHL contract. I think if that's the real stumbling block Benning gives in. Hell, look at some of the colleges guys he signed and were bust but he gave them a chance.
I can imagine the conversation went something like this:
JB: Ya so like we think Will will help Utica in their playoff run and like so we think like its good fit for now. So like how about ATO and Will can help Utica go all the way.
Lockwood Advisor: Oh, did we forget to tell you that Will is contemplating return to Michigan next season?
JB: Well like so we think he still needs to develop and like so Utica is the best place for him and then he can come to camp like to earn a job.
LA:Oh, did we forget to tell you that Will is contemplating return to Michigan next season?
JB: Like so what is it with young players today that don't want to earn a roster spot and they think everything should be handed to them.
LA: Oh, did we forget to tell you that Will is contemplating return to Michigan next season?
JB: Well like let's sit on it for 24-48 hours and then we can revisit it.
LA: Thats great. Oh, and did we forget to tell you that Will is contemplating return to Michigan next season?
The other issue I heard was that Benning has to be mindful of his available contracts and once Hughes is signed he only has 3 left, I think. He has a list of college UFA's that'd he'd like to go after. So perhaps the thinking is either, they are not sold that Lockwood is ready for the NHL,If ever, or they think he is but they want to save a contract spot just in case.
