The Death Pool – Tier III Hostage Takers

This is the week kids.  Oh hell yeah, this is the week that all the Tier III teams that usually hold players bhack from getting call ups to Tier II get what they deserve.

BAM.  USA Hockey is stepping in and layin down the law that makes it easy for any Tier II team to call up players from Tier III next year.  All its gonna take is a simple notification to the Tier III team and a phone call to the player.

Now it isnt going to be as simple as caluculating a small refund.  Refunds will be prorated on a scale similar to the Tier III refund scale now in place.

Its about time that this body hit the floor.  Those teams that talk about how they are in it for the player, but who dont let players move up in season….Oh hell yeah, youre gonna keep me busy next year! HA HA HA

Guess what kids, there are already some Tier III teams making plans on how to avoid the situation.  Thats right, there has already been talk about how some teams plan to talk players out of call ups, and even more plans on how teams will keep players from being contacted by the Tier II teams.  But hey, we here at team fartknocker are all about developing the kids and moving them on.  Yeah right Chester.

Some Tier III teams are now talking about leaving USA Hockey again.  BOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO  They are so scared their rosters are going to be “raided” that they are talking about joining AAU leagues or forming their own leagues.  Thats the easiest way to keep players from moving up.  Really?  Youre so afraid of having a player or two get called up that you are willing to leave USA Hockey?

For real kids, its not like some teams will have half of their rosters taken from them.  Teams might have a player or two, maybe three move up.  If you cant stand the loss of tuition, and dont have enough cash in the bank to be prepared for that possibility then you dont belong in the business.  If you arent prepared from scouting to replace players that are called up then you really havent done your job any way.

But hey kids, I got to run for now.  Could be a few nasty situations brewing for next week.    HMMMMMMMMMM What could they be?  Dead man walking?
