Alumni in the pros December 2008

[David Harding]

The news is from December, so I'll stick with this thread.  Here's the Canadiens' press relase on O'Byrne's demotion.

[quote RatushnyFan]What's surprising to me is they've brought up and tried so many forwards, but not the 6'3" kid leading the team in scoring who's a great penalty killer.[/quote]

I remember hearing some grumbles from sharks fans last year about his attitude and work ethic so I'm not sure what to think about it. I hope he gets a shot sometime, he was always fun to watch at lynah.

Speculation in The Hamilton Speculator Spectator was that it would be a short stint.  Let's hope for O'B that it is.

O'Byrne was pretty happy about getting to play with the Bulldogs tonight and tomorrow evening.

The 6-foot-6, 228-pounder is here on a conditioning stint. It can't be any longer than a couple of weeks and could be as little as a few days.

If he was sent down officially for conditioning I believe the stay is limited to 2 weeks. This is probably the case because I think he has a 1-way contract this year so if they actually sent him down he would have to go through the waiver wire and I imagine someone would pick him up.
