Prospect Info: Dudek signs ATO with Binghamton Devils

ChaoticOrange · Mar 28, 2019

As per their twitter account.

This is very interesting... not necessarily because of the transaction itself, but because of the circumstances around it. Dudek is Oiler property until August 15th. I’d be floored if they signed him so they probably gave Binghamton the OK to do so... but to the best of my knowledge there’s nothing stopping an AHL team signing ANY unsigned prospect to an ATO, regardless of NHL rights ownership. Theoretically an AHL team could sign any 20+ year old unsigned player to an ATO and there’s not much the NHL team that held their rights could do about it.

Interesting.

Considering Bako is playing Day at wing right now because of how short they are at forward, I'd say it's safe to assume the Oilers aren't really interested in signing Dudek.

Definitely not the end of the world though. Small guy who hasn't really produced offensively at any level.

I dont blame them, he would be a waste of a roster spot. Probably be an ECHL/AHL tweener.

Nope. Another Chia swing and a miss but the ability of an AHL team to sign drafted prospects still the property of another NHL franchise to ATO’s is... very curious.

I'd rather the Oilers sign Polei and Day

I think the 3rd(and eventually Marody) wasn't a bad return for Maroon. Dudek was basically just a scratch ticket.

And, yeah, can't say I've seen that happen before. I'm guessing the Devils must have got the Oilers permission.

More than likely, but to the best of my knowledge there’s nothing stopping an AHL team from doing it. That’s what interests me the most.

I'm sure the Devil's are familiar with the player being a former pick of theirs of course. I agree with DNicks, I don't think the Oilers will sign him, he's hasn't progressed like they hoped he would this year.

Is he still technically oilers property until the 15th then and kinda on "loan"? or have they relinquished their rights to him completely?

Not that it matters, 0% chance they sign him.

Bryanbryoil · Mar 28, 2019

Interesting, as @McCanovin said, we'd be better off signing Polei and Day to NHL deals and I'm not sure that Dudek would be able to play decently enough to play every day on our stacked AHL team anyway.

Is this the same Day who was hyped in the OHL as a 15/16 year old but faded away a bit? If so it'd be an interesting story if he was able to claw his way to the nhl with Edmonton and establish himself.

Nope. Just looked it up. Not even close

Exceptional status committee was way off with him.

That day is drafted by the Rangers I believe

Pretty funny how he somehow got exceptional status and didn’t even go first in the OHL draft.

I kinda thought the Condors might sign him to a tryout deal for the rest of the year just because of this, they've been hurting for forwards. Although Jakob Stukel who they've got on a tryout from Wichita(ECHL) seems to be doing well so maybe they're happy having him instead.

I'll always remember how Chia said "J.D. Dudek" super fast and smooth like it was a household name when he was presenting the trade to the media.

RJ Dowell · Aug 7, 2019

Hello,
What does an amateur tryout contract mean? As far as I remember, Dudek was Devils draft pick in 2014, right?

smokersarejokers · Aug 7, 2019

Logan Day signed an NHL contract with the Oilers in May.

Polei signed with the Blues.

It's a short-term contract an AHL team can give out. Up to 25 games, I believe. Usually they're used to let players finishing their season elsewhere(like Dudek at Boston College, as an example) to then play for the AHL team after.

Dudek was a Devils draft pick, but he was traded to the Oilers in the Maroon trade, so it was kind of strange that he would sign an ATO with the Devils instead.

Looks like Dudek hasn't got a contract for next season though, so he's a UFA now.

The guy had awful numbers in the NCAA - no clue where the interest is with this guy.

He was just a throw in. The real prize was the 3rd we flipped for Marody.

Which I would say was a pretty good get for Maroon.

The Maroon acquisition/trade tree is probably the only genuinely good Chia move all the way through.
