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

[LadyByngJeanRatelle]

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

Nice.

I keep waiting for that Troy Brouwer signing.

Anyone know what the cutoff date is, for a prospect not signing becoming a UFA rather than re-entering the draft?

I'm guessing that if they turn 20 before June 1st then they are a UFA (a not totally uneducated guess, in this case).

Sweet.

Brouwer's a UFA then if he doesn't sign.

The Leafs should sign him. WHL scoring champ, captain of the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Litte problem with foot speed, but very gritty and shows alot of leadership and can score goals.

 

[FearTheFlyers]

Hope Sekera doesn't sign.

Hope Sekera doesn't sign.

Don't hold your breath on that one!

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?

Think maybe Detroit could get a 2nd rounder for McGrath? I won't be distressed if they don't sign him but Holland better get something in return and not lose him for nothing.

Not quite sure why they'd decide to not sign Haskins. I guess they already have Ellis and Oulahen in the system but it's not clear either of them will ever be NHL players.

 

[Belfour20]

hopefully berti doesnt' sign

I'd love to grab him...

So much for that, the Hawks signed Berti today...

So take another one off the Hawks list

No way Detroit gets a second for McGrath.
The team would have to cave to his demands so he doesn't re-enter, that lowers his value dramatically, plus McGrath is no first rounder, so a team willing to sacrafice a second on him would be best served to wait until draft day. That way Evan McGrath would have to cave to the team that re-drafts him, if he has any intentions of playing pro hockey in NA as a 20 year old.
I would be happy with a 4th or 5th rounder. (although a trade is unlikely)

Haskins, hopefully they sign him, my only point there was that he might be better served returning to junior rather than playing in the ECHL.

Don't hold your breath on that one!

You better hold yours !

 

[jb**]

You better hold yours !

Flyers signed Cabana. Hope one of Piselini or Cabana pan out. Nothing like a couple good ol Italian boys in Phila.

 

[Habsfan18]

Which prospects still need to be signed?

Which prospects likely won't sign?

 

[McDonald19]

Anaheim:

6th round, Matt Auffrey RW

7th round, Gabriel Bouthillette G

 

[LadyByngJeanRatelle]

[shaner8989]

I bet alot of teams will be after Mcgrath is he isnt signed.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The Rangers only have Jonathan Paiment to sign and I suspect that they won't even bother.

 

[Hockeyfan6781]

Hope Sekera doesn't sign.

 

[haelwho]

Jens Karlsson is the only high pick I know of for the Kings, but I don't know if they'll bother.

 

[starbuck97]

Flyers still need to sign:

4th - D. Laliberte
6th - L. Scurko

 

[neelynugs]

Hope Sekera doesn't sign.

maybe regier will be busy thinking about game 7, causing him to forget

Is the deadline by (before) midnight May 31st or are the 24 hours of June 1st also included till the deadline?

 

[sk84fun_dc]

Is the deadline by (before) midnight May 31st or are the 24 hours of June 1st also included till the deadline?

I believe this is the wording: "...the Club shall retain the exclusive right of negotiation for the services of such Player up to and including the second June 1 following the date of his selection."

 

[Papaduke]

Tomorrow should be a REALLY busy day.

 

[Hawkster]

Is the deadline by (before) midnight May 31st or are the 24 hours of June 1st also included till the deadline?

June 1st - 5pm ET.

(At least that's what the deadline has been in previous years.)
