The drama regarding Winnipeg Jets top prospect continues to get juicier as the latest reports indicate McGroarty was rejected by the Montreal Canadiens.
The reports indicate that Rutger McGroarty and his camp made specific request to the Montréal Canadiens that were ultimately denied.
The demands are documented as substantial playing time, power play time, and other ridiculous requests that the Habs couldn't agree to.

Teams aren't interested in acquiring a young player who hasn't even proved himself at the pro level and has been deemed a red flag. The Winnipeg Jets find themselves stuck with a primma donna who clearly thinks his skill sets are above the standard NHL protocol.
