About time. We signed Gadjovich before him lmao.

I imagine this was done on purpose by Lind and his agent.

Because Gadjovich signed in 2017 his contract will be slide eligible next year even in the AHL.

By waiting until 2018 to sign his ELC, Lind's contract will not slide next season.

Which makes it very questionable why he was signed this season.

I am stunned by this. I thought for sure he would sign for the 2018-19 season. Very strange decision.

Do you think he has been told he will get a chance to play in the AHL or a few games on the canucks?

The Canucks want him in the AHL as soon as possible.

Ed Willes: Canucks talk of better, faster days, but process is suspect

Now, the most interesting news Benning offered up on Monday concerned the immediate future of the Canucks’ drafted players. He said the plan was to sign those players and send them to Utica for the AHL playoffs, meaning the Comets could have Adam Gaudette, Jonathan Dahlen, Kole Lind, Jonah Gadjovich and Olli Juolevi in their lineup in the coming weeks.

Makes sense that they'd do this days after the deadline and the subsequent fallout lol. Wonder if they'll sign DiPietro too.

His contract doesn't kick in until next season according to Biech.

This makes more sense. The op had me confused.

 

[Jay Cee]

Time for the kids to get some valuable mentoring in the press box at Utica amirite?

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Congrats LBL.

 

[M2Beezy]

Lovin this! Lindy Boy Linderson gonna turn some heads

Man I love this prospect

 

[NoShowWilly]

Few adds at forward for Utica next year. Nice to have 2nd round picks.

 

[Diogenes92]

Strategically timed signing to get the mob off their backs.

 

[Kassattack]

Smart for the Canucks to get the contract to start in next year.

Lind can still go to Utica on a ATO if the Rockets are eliminated.

 

[BlueGreen]

Signing Gaudette should be one of the next priorities.

 

[M2Beezy]

Signing Gaudette should be one of the next priorities.

Hes still playing for North eastern

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

He and Gaudette should be key for the bottom 6 going forward.

 

[PG Canuck]

Interested to see how he handles the AHL next year. Cautiously optimistic.

 

[Josepho]

He and Gaudette should be key for the bottom 6 going forward.

As well as Leipsic, Gaunce and Virtanen.

 

[Melvin]

Signing Gaudette should be one of the next priorities.

He will probably be signed before the end of the month.

Hattrick, 1st star, NHL contract! Good times for Lind. Good times for Canucks.

 

[F A N]

I'm still not convinced that Lind will develop into an NHL player, but signing him was a no brainer: he was a high second round pick who is developing.

What don't you like about him?
I've never seen him play.
