I think this works the same aswith the NHL. If the guy clears waivers, no one picks him up, the player is then free to go whereever he can/wants to go. Once he clears though, another WHL team can still pick him up with no compensation. I'm not sure of the timeframe for waivers, but I think its either 5 or 7 days. Probably 5 as that would put it the day before the 20yo deadline of Oct 12.Originally Posted by dondo

Nada nothing zilch. Much like if a WHL team grabs him, the Cougars get nothing.

That is if a team doesn't pick him until after the waiver period is over. Until then there is some form of compensation.

There are 2 teams in the O that are interested in Coops, I believe it was Saginaw and Peterborough.

Cougar Guy come on, why is it this year you Cougar fans are giving little to no respect for anyone? Its not like you are use to winning or earned the right to run another team down.
The Blazers have beaten SC, a team who only allowed 13 goals against before we got through with them, and should of beaten Everett, and have shown that they have alot more chemistry and even talent than the Cougars seem to have.
This isn't an attack at you at all cause you're a great poster, but I think too many Cougar fans on network54 at least are looking at the paper as opposed to the on ice product and no matter what, Giants in those 3 games didn't stop the Cougars from working hard, from the sounds of it doesn't sound they did any of that.
So give a little more credit to the Blazers, because come on no matter how bad they've been the last few years, for the most part they have stayed above you guys.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here KBF as I don't remember "running another team down", that's not my style.
The only thing I can remember saying that may have offended you was a post where I said the Cougs were currently behind Kamloops but I discounted that a little bit given that we have played the Giants THREE times already. Honestly man, we've played almost half of our regular season meetings against the Giants already, right when they are hot and in the middle of a major league hot streak. I think that has to be taken into account at this early point of the season.
I've gone on the record in saying that I believe Vancouver will finish 1st, that PG will finish 2nd, that Kamloops will finish a SOLID 3rd (i.e. well ahead of Kelowna and Chilliwack) and that Kelowna and Chilliwack will fight it out for 4th and 5th. I don't see anything right now that would cause me to change that prediction.
You are right, games are not won on paper. That being said, I think this PG squad will turn things around and will start to win. I suppose that's the confidence that a fan has to have when they have a roster like we do. In other years I wouldn't have that confidence and I'm sure you've engaged in discussions with me on that very topic in other years. You know as well as I do that I'll be as critical of the Coogs as anyone if the team doesn't live up to their expectations.
As for other fans, I have no idea why they say the things they do, nor can I speak for them. I only speak for myself and I'd like to believe that people take me for what I post, not for what other Cougar fans may say. There are lots of us with vastly different opinions. I don't tend to lump people together and I would hope that I could be given that same courtesy.

Where did this come from and why is it in a thread about Curtis Cooper????
