The silence is deafening on the Drew George front.

The Pats have pulled out all the stops to convince him to play for them, but it’s clear he has other priorities. Still no word on a potential trade between the Cowichan Capitals and Weyburn Red Wings (there are rumours of a snag regarding Cowichan’s asking price, which is an obvious conclusion based on the fact that George's fate was expected to be determined quickly). If he is indeed being held for ransom, that’s the risk you take by not reporting to a team.
Regardless, the signs suggest that George doesn’t have a strong desire to play for the Pats and won’t do so unless his junior A options vanish.
Time will tell.
