I saw this over on DG's blog I was really impressed with Matt Gilroy during yesterday's game with tOSU, being in the West I have not had much of a chance to watch him play. Holy Cow! Matt Gilroy is everything the pundits have said and more. Tyler Bozak is the complete forward that plays both ends of the ice. I am hoping the Bruins offer him a contract he would fit will in Claude Julien's defensive system.
The Denver Pioneers are among the NCAA's early casualties as the top seeded team in the regional west bracket lost to Miami 4-2 on Friday and were eliminated from the tournament.
Denver's loss will spark frenzy this week in the NHL as league managers attempt to persuade highly touted Pioneers forward Tyler Bozak to sign his first pro contract.
All six Canadian NHL teams have significant interest in the 23 year old Regina, Saskatchewan native and his advisor, Wade Arnott of Newport Sports Management tells TSN there is a good chance Bozak will agree to terms and sign with an NHL team this week.
However, interest in Bozak is extensive with as many as 25 teams believed to be poised to make their pitch.
In the meantime, Hobey Baker finalist Matt Gilroy will also draw a lot of NHL attention this weekend.
Gilroy's B.U Terriers will face Ohio State on Saturday and if the Buckeyes can keep the trend of upsets in tact, Gilroy will join Bozak as the most sought after college free agents.
Gilroy is a 24 year old defenseman who because of his age qualifies for unrestricted free agency, while Bozak's first NHL contract will include all entry level restrictions. (link to the story)
