-One day after being released by the Bulldogs, Jared Gomes has signed a PTO with Hamilton.

Gomes was once again released along with Sahir Gill.

Gomes will finally suit for the Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga while Gill has decided to return to his former team, the Wheeling Nailers.

Also, Jay Gregoire (Iowa) and Nathan Longpre (Chicago) have been released from their PTOs and signed to SPCs (1-year contract). However, they got sent down to the ECHL on the same day.

Do we have confirmation anywhere of G Aaron Dell signing with Worcester?

Yes. From the article I linked to a few days ago:

Sharks players on AHL contracts who have been assigned to the ECHL include goalie Aaron Dell, who is with Allen, Texas; defenseman Kyle Bigos, who was with Worcester at the end of last season and starts this year in Ontario, Calif.; defenseman Brendan Ellis, loaned to South Carolina; and defenseman Nick Jones, also with the Sharks late last year, loaned to Indianapolis.

 

[The Jersey Number]

Yes. From the article I linked to a few days ago:

Awesome, thanks!

Updates!

-Andrew Cherniwchan was released from his PTO with Providence but got signed to a PTO by Springfield on the same day.

-Veteran AHL dman Danny Syvret has signed a PTO with Iowa. (I wouldn't be surprised if he gets signed to a SPC in a few weeks)

-Derek Deblois was released from his PTO with Worcester despite not having played a single regular season game.

Manchester's General Manager, Rob Blake, confirmed that Kevin Raine is signed to an AHL contract.

Kevin Raine will open the year in the AHL after following a strong rookie camp and training camp in Los Angeles with a strong camp in Manchester.

“Yeah, he had a good camp for us, a guy that Mike Futa has monitored for the last few years,” Blake said. “He came in and earned himself a tryout, then he earned himself an AHL contract, and now he’s going to work on other things.”

Some info on Justin Courtnall and Colton Gillies' contractual status :

The most experienced Sound Tiger but the only one left without a contract for the full season, Gillies knows his approach doesn't always jump out on the scoresheet or even to those watching the game.

http://www.ctpost.com/sports/article/Gillies-physical-style-an-asset-for-Sound-Tigers-5830009.php

Thompson saved his praise for a fifth unit, with four players rotating through drills: Islanders draft pick Lukas Sutter, tryouts Andrew Rowe and Tyler Shattock, and AHL-contract forward Justin Courtnall.

http://www.lapresse.ca/sports/hocke...e=cyberpresse_B13b_hockey_194509_section_POS1 (Link in French)

Roy wanted to continue his career in the AHL but he only received ECHL offers. For now, he plans to return to school and study management.

-Mathieu Corbeil has signed with Laval of the LNAH

[Mike Jones]

I noticed on the AHL transaction page this morning that Jamie McBain signed a PTO with Manchester.

Link: http://theahl.com/stats/transactions.php

I don't know if this is in anticipation of a Kings' roster move or simply an effort to provide the AHL team with depth.

 

[Booba]

-Albany has signed Mark Fraser to an AHL contract.
http://www.thealbanydevils.com/devi...anyDevils&utm_content=Devils Sign Mark Fraser

-Joe Basaraba has been recalled by San Antonio which means that he is signed to an AHL contract.
https://twitter.com/sarampage/status/529031460401868800

-Ryan Jones was released by Utica. He had one assist in five games.

 

[Booba]

-Brendon Nash (under contract with Bakersfield in 2013-2014) has signed with Bakersfield (ECHL).

-François Tremblay (Lake Erie) has been assigned to Victoriaville (QMJHL).

It's the dissolution of the Denver Cutthroats that caused this situation. Colorado's original plan was to have Tremblay in the Central Hockey League, Roman Will in the ECHL and Aittokallio and Pickard in the AHL.

At least with the injuries to Varlamov and Berra, Tremblay had the chance to play one game at the pro level. In his only game with the Fort Wayne Komets (ECHL), he recorded a shutout (21 saves).
