Deadline June 1st, who's going to sign?

[The List Of Jericho]

All I know is the Leafs better have the fax machine working just in case

 

[neelynugs]

boston picks needing to be signed by june 1:

martins karsums, kris versteeg, ashton rome

feeling is that karsums will be signed, and one of rome/versteeg will be as well. don't see them keeping both. i'd guess versteeg would be the one they'll keep.

 

[LadyByngJeanRatelle]

Here's some more:

Edmonton - Roman Tesliuk
Pittsburgh - Tomas Duba

Can someone for each team post who their team needs to sign? That would be great if we could get a listing for each team.

Hawks unsigned CHL'ers from 2004..

Adam Berti, Bryan Bickell, David Bolland, Troy Brouwer, Ryan Garlock, Trevor Kell and Mitch Maunu.

Cam Barker's already signed and the rights to Jared Walker and Eric Hunter were given up last year.

Non CHL'ers to be signed or let go by June 1st..

Adam Burish, Teemu Jaaskelainen, Kevin Kantee, Oli Malmivaara, Jonas Nordquist, Jari Viuhkola and Mattias Wennerberg.

There are about 3 or 4 with no chance of been signed, so that leaves about 10 players fighting for about 7 spots (Judging by what Hawks officials - Bowman and Tallon - said on Hawkcast).

Wow thats quite the list of good CHL'ers i wont be really surprized if the Hawks dont sign Bolland that guy has alot of potential!

 

[Whitesnake]

Sticky wanted!!!

Can I ask to have this thread to be a sticky??? And if some other teams could be add as well in order to have most of them, it would be appreciated

Red Wings (from redwingscentral.com):

"UPCOMING PROSPECT SIGNING DEADLINES
June, 2006: Miroslav Blatak, Stefan Liv, Andreas Jamtin, Evan McGrath, Tyler Haskins, Tomek Valtonen, Jari Tolsa, David Engblom, Johan Forsander, David Petrasek, Per Backer, Jimmie Svensson

June, 2007: Igor Grigorenko, Jakub Kindl, Christofer Lofberg, Sergei Kolosov, Mattias Ritola, Darren Helm, Johan Ryno, Jeff May, Juho Mielonen, Bretton Stamler, Andrei Maximenko, Dmitri Semenov, Alexander Seluyanov, Evgeny Bumagin, Johan Berggren, Christian Soderstrom, Jonathan Ericsson, Andreas Sundin, Stefan Blom, Tomas Kollar, Mikael Johansson

June, 2008: Anton Axelsson, Gennady Stolyarov, Nils Backstrom

June, 2009: Justin Abdelkader"

Liv signed a 1 year deal last week.

Wings are negotiating with McGrath, but he wants 1st rounder money and this could be a sticking point.

Wings have said they intend to sign Blatak.

Wings have said they will not sign Haskins.

Unsure about Jamtin - I would sign him and give him a chance in the AHL, he could be a 3rd line agitator with some scoring punch. Not sure if they're actively trying to sign him.

Wings wanted to sign Valtonen before the lockout but now they probably won't.

Jari Tolsa, David Engblom, Johan Forsander, David Petrasek, Per Backer, Jimmie Svensson are all European players that the Wings will not sign, but they're not going to get any interest from NHL teams anyway.

It's stupid question time....Walker and Hunter were 04' draftees, how were they able to renounce to their rights in 05 and why did they do it since all they had to do was to wait until June 1st of this year and not signed them....How come they didn't take this whole 05-06 year to judge them more??? Why did they renounce to their rights so fast????

Thanks.

Teams can renounce the rights to players they have no intention of signing before they have to make a decision on them. The Wings drafted Steve Covington in 04 and last summer they said ok, we're never going to sign this guy so we renounce his rights now, even though they had another couple of years before they had to make that call.

Not sure if it's the same as the Chicago situation but it sounds like it could be.

OK but why do they do it? Do you have a maximum of players that you can have rights on? By renouncing to their rights, can you then sign some other players? Is there a kind of cap for the number of rights you own? It just looks strange than 1 year after being picked, you kinda suddenly acknowledge that you made a mistake and those players don't even deserve to be given at least another year to know how their development will go....Just wondering, the difference in thinking between teams that will give the 2 years and then don't sign the players compared to teams that will take 1 year and renounce to these rights before they really had to choose. I understand now that you can do it, but I still don't get why they do it???

But it may be a question of ''because that's how it is....''

"The Detroit Red Wings released prospect Steve Covington earlier this summer, assistant general manager Jim Nill confirmed Friday.

Covington was Detroit’s sixth choice (226th overall) in last year’s National Hockey League entry draft. The Red Wings had until next year to sign Covington, as is the case with all Canadian Hockey League draft choices.

But teams are also required to tender a bona fide offer to a draft pick one year after he is selected in order to maintain exclusive reserve-list rights.

In Covington’s case, the Red Wings opted not to bother. "

That's my answer!

Does anybody know if big Boris Valabik (Atl) was already signed? Because I believe he was drafted out of the CHL and would therefore need to be inked before June 1.

 

[ReLyT]

For the Hawks both Bolland and Blunden have been signed...

 

[HockeyJim17]

Here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head that still need to be signed

2004
Scott Lehman- Atl
Victor Oreskovitch- Col
Michal Sersen- Pit
David Shantz- Fla

Euro's 2002 and before
Alexei Kaigorodov- Ott
Alexei "Tractor Boy" Mikhnov- Edm
Ilja Nikulin- Atl

Goalie Jason Churchill 4th round of the San Jose Sharks needs to sign.

Based on his play and development he should..but the Sharks have a log jam of goalies.

 

[Boomhower]

There are reports Evan McGrath is being, well, Evan McGrath....

Asking for first round money and standing firm. (apparantly draft day has already slipped his memory)
I don't see Detroit giving him that kind of a deal unless they sign him for another team. (and immediately deal him)

Tyler Haskins is an interesting case he's a scrappy defensive center who can skate and actually put up decent offensive numbers this year, but there really isn't room for him in GR it seems. I hope the Wings sign him and return him to Toronto for an over age season.

All the Euros on sarcasto's Detroit list wouldn't have to re-enter, I assume they'd just be free agents?

 

[Reaper45]

11 R Lauri Tukonen (signed)
95 D Paul Baier (ncaa)

You think the wings would trade him if it got close to the deadline and he remained unsigned ?.

Would a 2nd get a deal done ??

McGrath should've already signed and been helping the Griffins in the AHL.

That sucks to hear that he's being that way.

Well he won't be helping anymore now as Milwaukee Admirals upset and knocked off Grand Rapids to win the Western Conference.
