Looks to be a two year entry level contract? Any guess as to what this means?

Trying to track this down. If he plays Monday I don't know if that burns a year.

The guy we traded Vesey for, hopefully we can see him develop into a decent piece for the future.

I wouldn't view it like that. You were going to get nothing for Vesey. So I guess you can view whatever Rem does as a bonus.

The Sabres gave up Rem for nothing lmao.

True lol

Based on our discussion on the Gopher message board and in reading the CBA, if Rem plays this year it'll burn a year of his contract.

Seems like he'll receive his first signing bonus now if he plays, second this summer, and you would have him signed just for next year at which point he'd be an RFA already.

The 9 regular season games or 1 playoff game rule applies. Only 7 regular season games left. He'd have t play in ONE playoff game. If he's good enough to play in ONE playoff game then cool. If not, Milwaukee gets the gopher. capfriendly has his contract sliding.

Look at his age .... look at the CBA ... look at what it means if he plays ANY pro games.


I'm too tired to spell this out

 

[Bonin21]

I thought contract slide is only for young guys...

18 year olds can slide up to twice ... 19 year olds can slide once.

18 year olds can slide up to twice ... 19 year olds can slide once.

And Rem is 21, 22 on sept 15. So not sure where the sliding comment comes from.

I've given up on most CBA related fixes on HF. I'll stick to likely things like peace in the Middle East and rational political discourse in the US.

How many teams can say they've had 2 Rem's in their history? I'd say one.

According to hockeydb.com only one NHL player in history went by the first name Rem. Which of course is Rem Murray.

Two NCAA players have been named Rem:
Rem Vanderbeek - Providence (09-11) - Undrafted, never played a pro game at any level.
Rem Pitlick - Minnesota (16-19)

And coincidentally, Rem Murray also came up through the NCAA route via Michigan State (91-95).

Two NHL players have gone by Remi and I'd estimate another 50-60 players with some variation like Remy, Remo, etc. who never made the NHL.

I hope we see him for a few games to see what he's got. Then give him as much time as he needs in Milwaukee going forward.

Wouldn't that mean 3 NCAA players have been named Rem?

travelled to Winnipeg with the team.

I suppose I worded it weird. I didn't include Murray as he graduated to the NHL.

And the reason I even mentioned the other two as NCAA players is that it's not only the highest level they have achieved, but they are also the only two players named Rem (outside of Murray) listed on hockeydb. So it's slightly interesting that every player named Rem to have made it at least that far, did so via the NCAA .

I'm still not certain that I've cleared up any of that...

 

[Adz]

My recollection is that Rem was not actually Rem Murray's first name, but were his initials and that's just what he was called.

 

[triggrman]

Raymond Joseph Murray is his name

That doesn't even make sense. Ha!

 

[adsfan]

That doesn't even make sense. Ha!

Lots of names don't.

John Ellis Bush is Jeb Bush, from his initials, not like like "Jeb" Stuart (James Ewell Brown Stuart of Civil War fame).

 

[Bonin21]

So some actual Pitlick talk...

He's an RFA already next summer (2020). Don't think that was ever confirmed in here.
