Which prospects need a contract this year?
From 16, Cholowski, Smith and Hronek are already signed.
From 15, Svechnikov and Saarijarvi are already signed.
From 14, Larkin, Turgeon, Ehn and Holmstrom are signed.
So who does that leave?
Sambrook - Seems he's on track for a deal. 4-8-12 in 17 games, so he's having another productive season.
Vahatalo - Huge forward too a step back last year, production wise. He's on a new team this year and he's 4-3-7 in 21 games. Last year he was 3-4-7 in 45 games.
Seems like a bit a of a longshot.
Alexander Kadeykin - Big, heavy Russian forward is 24. He's never matched that draft year production since going to better teams (and taking a smaller role, presumably). 5-3-8 in 25 games this year seems like a longshot.
David Pope - Was a little surprised he didn't get an offer last season with his 13-18-31 breakout season. This year he's 4-3-7 after 6 games. He's 6'3, 200 pounds and can skate fairly well. He was also drafted the same year as Mantha and Mattias Janmark, so he's a 23 year old producing against teenagers in college. If he didn't get an offer last year, not sure why the wings would give one now.
