Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted December 15, 2007 Article You gotta feel for a kid that gets cut 3 times from Team Canada. Cleary's 3rd time was worse imo, he was playing for the Hawks', they let him go to try out, and he gets cut. Ouch. I hope Esposito makes it next year, and even if he doesnt, like Danny said, there have been alot of great NHLers that never made Team Canada as a junior.

Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted December 15, 2007 I feel bad for him to a degree, but from everything I have seen and heard, this kid's stock is falling dramatically. He just is NOT progressing like his draft mates of last year, and has not adapted his game at all in the last two years. I just think he isn't going to turn into the player everyone thought he was going to be 2 years ago. I fear another Alexander Daigle... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That guy was not the least bit funny or clever. If he was writing a column for my website, I would edit the hell out of that thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
