Meh.

No luck for me either. There has to be a way...

Here you go, the power of Google.

Nice find. I really went on a warpath there with my posts about him.

Since those posts by the way, he has won Eastern Player of the week twice IIRC and has been on fire in 2011.

Excellent, thanks. Our search engine must suuuuuuuuck.

Fair enough, but I still think we could entice him here.

I hope so too

Beaten to the punch. Always use a google search with the "site:gmhockey.com" at the end to restrict the search to just here. For example:

"dacosta site"gmhockey.com" and voila.

Sounds like a good player. Seems to have had success in the last 4 yrs.

How many teams would be after him? Would he be too small for the Leafs at 5ft 11?

Sens could give him a good chance to slide into an NHL spot due to the space available next season.

You mean like this:

site:gmhockey.com "da costa"

Weird. For some reason, when I enter that search term, it doesn't show this thread, though it does return others (including the University/College UFAs thread). I even tried changing it to search this site for the misspelled "Eying" to see if it would return this thread. It did not. Perhaps searching with this method only looks at content, not title?

How the heck do you spell eyeing then? Dammit!

So, it's our spell check that's wrong apparently. It's eyeing.

It may be an index timing thing... this thread was just started today so it may not be on Google's radar yet.

Funny thing is, that's exactly how I typed it in the google search box at first. I just didn't catch it in my post.

Give it a day or two and it will be there. Google uses bots, not pre-cogs.

From the sounds of it, according to Roche, he's obviously good. I guess I just wonder about his size.

That must be why he's undrafted.

He's a taller Cammalleri. He's not that small, he was when he was 18 though. Like Butler.

so what are the potential upsides for a guy like him? i was looking at his stats but those can be deceiving. what's his game like? speedy? good hands?
