2018-19 AHL contracts

Is there an inherent NHL opt-out clause on all AHL deals? Or does it have to be negotiated in separately? I always thought the AHL team had to give permission to allow an NHL team to poach one of their players on an AHL deal, unless opt-out clauses existed.

It appears Rich Clune has re-signed with the Marlies, too.

While browsing St. Louis' summer cap roster, I realized that camp invitee Jared Thomas is, in fact, under contract for next season.

I'm leaving the Clune, Greening and Breen (Providence) signing as rumors until I see an official confirmation.

I don't believe Clune will be back as a player. Maybe a member of the training or coaching staff sure, but it is going to be hard enough for Greening to get playing time next year at wing, much less Clune.

It is not exactly the best place to discuss this, but Greening played almost every game he could (I think he missed 3 games all year between the regular season and playoffs) and should become the captain. He may be more of a center next year, but he's getting more ice time than most.

Clune already in kind of a player-coach role, and I think he will continue to be that. He slots into games where we need toughness, or slots into a fair number of games when a defensive forward needs a rest. He's not old and while he did not put up a ton of points, he still played well in 47 games for the Marlies last year. I can't think of a better enforcer type to replace him right now.

OLIVIER MANTHA ASSIGNED TO ADIRONDACK

You have Olivier Mantha as a UFA for the Syracuse Crunch, according to this link he has an ELC with Tampa for the 18-19 season. I think the info is this release is incorrect. Every other place I have looked has him as a free agent

There's a more than reasonable chance you are incorrect, as Clune's playing time was cut due to an internal belief from Lamoriello that he was not worth ice time. With Lou gone, there could be an uptick in his serviceability.

Doubtful. There will be at least 9 wingers ahead of him on the depth chart next year, most of them prospects. Not sure what Lou had to do with it anyway. Dubas was the GM; Clune played 47 games and it would be Keefe who decides how much each line plays.

It's up to Syracuse to decide if he'll be a UFA or not.

Matt Bradley, the 21 year old (not to be confused with 40 year old former NHLer with the same name)?

That's the one! Former Montreal Canadiens draft pick. I did a double-take when I saw it at first, too!
