Charlie Walters is a writer for the St Paul Pioneer Press and a friend of mine.
 
Direct GPA's can only be given out by the players themselves and I don't want
to harass the players to fill your idle curiousities.
 
Well obviously Ben Clymer hasn't received and offer he views acceptible as of
yet from the bruins.  So instead of waiting he signed with Seattle and is
waiting.  I don't know Boston's policy on press conferences or how the address
the signing of draft choices.  This would be better directed towards their
media/public relations people.
 
Does the list benefit from direct questions towards one person being posted for
the  whole list?
 
Have a good day.
