Flyers accept

Cooley isnt available

Is there anything that suggests that Cooley is available or doesn't want to be there?

I don't even think going back to Minnesota is really harming his development. AZ would rather have him not getting paid a salary and he would rather stay in a positive situation than join the team at this juncture. If he is getting traded, it's probably not for players that are playing right now either. Arizona really doesn't want to pay NHL salaries.

Didnt he say he was leaning towards signing until the arena deal got nixed? seems like he just doesnt want the distraction so he can focus on his development

If anything this makes him more valuable to ARI as shows he has a good head on his shoulders and a very strong support system in place

Minnesota should compete for the title as well which will give Cooley much more meaningful games than playing in the NHL would give him

When's the last time you've seen a top 5 prospect get traded?

That sure isn't getting Logan Cooley.

And he's going back to the University of Minnesota for his Sophomore season. So he sure as heck isn't playing for Columbus.

Heh. Says who? And not for that, he ain't.
