[quote Trotsky][quote ugarte]If I'm McKee I have no regrets about taking the money and leaving. Who knows what another year in college would have meant for him financially. Personally, I think he was able to strike while the iron was hot. A year behind a diminished blueline might have severely hampered his pro chances. With what the Ducks gave him as a signing bonus he can pay to finish college - and from the sounds of some of his post signing interviews, he probably isn't interested in paying Cornell for the privilege.[/quote]Um.  Money is not among Dave McKee's worries in life.[/quote]
If his parents are rich, he doesn't need the college degree any more than he needs a signing bonus.

[quote Jim Hyla][quote Josh '99][quote DILLIGAF]You are correct in that he has but one year to "make it".  He has nothing left to fall back on.  Without a great season in the OHL, he will have a tough time coming back as an overager.  The next stop will be the ihl league  [/quote]Too bad there is no IHL anymore.[/quote]

Actually there is a new IHL, nothing related to the one that dissolved in early 2000's. It's a reincarnation of old UHL, I believe. If that's his end point, I feel sorry for him. Seeing what's happened to McKee and others, only reinforces my view that unless you're a near sure thing, staying in school is usually the correct option.[/quote]My bad.

Tony's been traded to the Petes for a conditional 8th round pick.

Here's a link, although there really isn't any additional info there.
