Corco 1,267 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wouldn't this be an offer sheet? Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/10560-s39-s39-c-mike-mcgrattan/#findComment-101031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wouldn't this be an offer sheet? Nope, if a rookie isn't even thrown an offer before the end of the pre-season by the team who hold his right post-draft, he becomes a UFA. more onus on the GM and not the player here.

Advantage 2,899 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So it has to be a one year deal if he is inactive right? Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/10560-s39-s39-c-mike-mcgrattan/#findComment-101063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters, but I wouldn't sign him. Link doesn't work, he told me via IM that he probably won't return to the league though. But I don't think he actually retired or anything like that.

Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If so, why is that? Did anyone ask why he was leaving. I asked him several times if he needed help and it worked. He speaks German as his first language and maybe it was too much of a journey for him to overcome?

RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 To be honest I kind of expected that from the moment he joined... He had multiple players in the SHL before and I think one here as well and always went inactive after being quite active for his first first season or so. I offered my help as well and tried to get him to at least stay active until the draft and then maybe get some new energy from being associated with a VHL-team, but he turned me down pretty quickly.

Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 It's a shame cause he was a really nice guy after talking with him. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/10560-s39-s39-c-mike-mcgrattan/#findComment-101127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanesEuntDomus 442 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah and I also don't really understand it either, he always is so active at first with the homepages for his players and all that stuff but then all of a sudden he loses interest within his first or second season and doesn't even want to be semi-active anymore. I have seen it like 4-5 times now in different leagues and have pretty much given up on him by now.

Guest Svoboda_3 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Bust. Tough to see someone with so much promise leave. I liked him. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/10560-s39-s39-c-mike-mcgrattan/#findComment-101137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Link doesn't work, he told me via IM that he probably won't return to the league though. But I don't think he actually retired or anything like that. It's a link to the Lynx LR, so that's why most people can't see it. He didn't actually retire as a favor to the team. If so, why is that? Did anyone ask why he was leaving. I asked him several times if he needed help and it worked. He speaks German as his first language and maybe it was too much of a journey for him to overcome? He said he enjoyed his time here and liked the community but IRL things popped up.

He speaks German as his first language and maybe it was too much of a journey for him to overcome? He had to bow out due to personal reasons.
