[leafaholix*]

Who are some UFA guys around the CHL, NCAA, etc... that you like as prospects?

[NYR469]

one of the top ones has to be Danny Syvret

Syvret can still be drafted this summer.

I dont know many off-hand, but i do know that Detroit will sign at least one CHL UFA. They have for the past 5 years or so.

I dont know many off-hand, but i do know that Detroit will sign at least one CHL UFA. They have for the past 5 years or so.

They definitely seem to love the OHL as well, when it comes to those signings. Jason Williams, Nathan Robinson and Eric Himelfarb come to mind immediately. Danny Groulx is the only guy outside the O i can think of them signing.

A couple of guys I could see the Wings being potentially interested in are Geoff Platt or Rob Hisey. Two solid junior scorers who deserve a chance at the next level, despite lack of size. Especially with the affermentioned guys being similar cases.

Andre Benoit

 

[mazmin]

Someone will probably take a chance on Maxime Boisclaire.

Andre Benoit

He's probably very bad defensively because with his offensive production, he sould have a contract...

 

[CH Wizard]

He's probably very bad defensively because with his offensive production, he sould have a contract...

The habs should.He has BEEN SO CONSISTENT offensively.That's great for a D!

The Leafs gave him a tryout a couple years back, obviously they didn't sign him.

No, he's very good defensively, and one of the smartest players I've seen. The reason he wasn't drafted IMO is that he's 5'11" and doesn't play a physical game.

 

[TMHUNH]

McKee is only a sophomore, I don't know what the chances of him leaving are.

Other College Guys:

Marty Sertich (Jr.)
Evan Schwabe
Barret Ehgoetz
Tuomas Tarkki
Charlie Cook
Preston Callander
Jason Guerreiro
Bryan Miller
Ryan Shannon
Scott Mifsud
Dave Spina
Steve Silverthorn
Bryan Schmidt(Jr.)

Platt can still be drafted this summer. Marc Rancourt, David Clarkson and John Scott Dickson are some of the other notable guys who could get signed from the O.

Pat Bateman, NMU Wildcats.

Clarkson is definitely a guy I see getting a contract as well. I think he's got 3rd line potential in the NHL and should get his share of looks. He went to Kings camp last year, not sure how he looked though.

Paulo Colaiacovo (sp?)

 

[Zine]

Colby Genoway on North Dakota could be a pretty good one.

wait. Lack of size?(check) Lack of skating?(check) CHL overager?(check) Here's an offer sheat...

EDIT: The wings have tried out some college FA too, Brett Lebda is doing ok( i use that loosely) in the AHL, and a few years back they signed Dwayne Zinger.

Also, for the CHL you forgot Bootland and Ellis. Ellis by the way had 22 points in the Griffin's last 22 games.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

The Leafs gave him a tryout a couple years back, obviously they didn't sign him.

Syvret attended both the caps and rangers prospect camps in the past two years. Wasn't offered anything either.

Sean Avery is another CHL FA Detroit picked up. Hopefully the Wings don't sign defenceman Bryan Rodney, he's been in camp the last two years, but it would be a mistake to sign him.

I'm a huge fan of Rafal Martynowski, not sure how his game would translate to the pro level, but he can definitely play both ends of the ice. For OHL defencemen, I'd probably say Brian Lee is the most interesting FA prospect.

 

[Sebastien Centomo]

Paulo Colaiacovo (sp?)

He's been out of the OHL for a year and is playing for Colorado in the Central league.

 

[Norseman]

Patrik Thoresen has had a good year in Djurgården.

 

[firstroundbust]

Kellen Briggs
Chris Harrington

 

[leafaholix*]

Patrik Thoresen has had a good year in Djurgården.

I think he has to be drafted and can't be signed.

 

[KlausJopling]

I don't think Thorensen needs to be drafted. Since his draft year he played in the Q. I know he was in the Bruins camp a couple of years ago and they passed on signing him.
