He dominated the prospect camp. Now the question is whether he plays in the AHL this season or next. Pretty sure he's reporting to the Rögele
That was expected but he just signed an ELC with the Rangers.
He doesn't have a contract with Rogele. He signed one with us.
The Rangers signed Fast in May of 2012 and he played in Sweden for the 2012/2013 season, but that was a bit different as they would have lost his rights if they didn't get him signed by June 2012.
Maybe they are fine with him playing in Sweden this year, but I don't get the reason to sign him since it's just going to burn a year off his ELC.
Edit: Nevermind, I see BBKers post above mine .
If he doesn't play 10 NHL games this coming season, his ELC slides a year. So him playing in Europe all this season won't hurt the Rangers.
I believe that if he plays less than 10 NHL games this year and stays for the rest in Hartford his ELC contract will slide a year ( a la Anisimov). Will be very interesting to follow him now...

He will be at NYR camp. Thereafter other forces reign
Hmmmmmm. Wonders happen, no?
He will be in Hartford, just like I said
