Eichel is Grachev to our Duchene. God it'd be nice if we could say that, in terms of career development, in a few years...christ that'd be monumentally horrific for buffalo though

Im completely confused what you are trying to say with this post. I've read it over 50x and still can't figure it out.

I know it was posted above, but London selected Bernhardt and North Bay selected Kovacs in this years CHL Import Draft.
I doubt that Kovacs will come over, but what about Bernhardt? I think London would be a great opportunity if he doesn't make the SHL's Djurgarden.
That's rather early, no?
I sincerely thought I read people talking about how we got a teammate or linemate of Eichel's
That's Ahti Oksanen, who we invited to development camp.
the word on Walcott was that he'd told NYR wasn't gonna sign, maybe because of all the strong young D's ahead of him
which indirectly raises the Nejezchleb question - like Walcott, he's already 21.
He attended Prospect Dev Camp,
but do NYR even still have exclusive rights to him?
i posted this as a reply in the WolfPack topic,
but it may be more appropriate to ask here
Nej is obviously a bust. He put up as an overager the kind of numbers that most NHLers put up as 17 year olds. And he's not a defensive guy either, so numbers do tell the story with him.... Had the Rangers offered him a two-way deal, he'd have accepted the QO. I highly doubt he's holding out for more money considering he's a crap prospect. He should go back to the Czech Republic, he'll make more money there and will live at home.
A player not signed by drafted team within two years can reenter draft, assuming they are still eligible, and if they are not eligible, will become unrestricted an free agent. A team has the rights of an NCAA player until 30 days after the player leaves the college.
AK -
thanks for trying to help, i appreciate it,
but the Nejezchleb case is different.
at 21 he is no longer eligible for draft and no longer eligible to play junior hockey
I found a page with that text you quoted above
here is more from that page
http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/rules/
Eligibility: Any North American player who turns 18 by September 15 and does not turn 20 by Decemeber 31 is eligible for the draft. Any non-North American player can be drafted at any age if they are at least 18 by September 15. If a player is 18, they must declare themselves eligible, but if a player turns 19 by September 15th, they are automatically eligible for selection in the draft.
"A player not signed by drafted team within two years can reenter draft, assuming they are still eligible"
http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/rules/
so actually, the only players who an re-enter draft, are ones who were drafted at 18, but not signed within 2 years
NYR selected a re-entered player a few years back, and also had an unsigned pick re-enter and be picked

anyway its a curious question.
the NYR used 2 '14 draft picks on 20-year olds
i presume they knew their rights regarding Nejezchleb
but it seems unclear to me
I truly expect that their rights to Nejezchleb must expire sooner than June'16
i will continue to ask around and dig around the 'net
As I posted before the answer is still Yes. Rangers have Nejezchleb's rights exclusively still and he is still listed as Rangers property on their website.
That's rather early, no?
The US is playing the Swedes and Finns at Lake Placid during the junior camp. Kovacs should be there. Halverson will be there.
