I've watched him a lot.

His upside in the NHL is not as high as his numbers may indicate.

Upside is a good secondary scorer.

USA hockey is the strongest it's ever been despite the morons at the top consistently making awful decisions

I may be overlooking somethings.. and I’d like to believe I know a ton about prospects of this beautiful sport.. but his stats aren’t necessarily anything to write home about? 17 goals this season is impressive but he struggled immensely his freshman, sophomore, and Junior seasons with Princeton. Hasn’t played in any WJC or competition outside of the states..

So... he is expected to meet with the team in Edmonton? No mention of Cleveland? Our brass must think wonders of the kid. This one is a head scratcher to me. I hope someday we look back on this thread and laugh at this post but for now, meh

Yes. He's joining the Jackets and will burn it the first year of his deal.

Not sure why he's so coveted but the Jackets weren't alone, Elliotte Friedman said several teams were in on him.

I don't know how to embed a tweet but Dregger and Stephens both tweeted that Troy Terry likely signs with Anaheim some time today/tonight.

Dumb question: are these college signees eligible for the playoffs?

My understanding is that player's with draft rights are eligible, and UFA signees are not - am I way off base here?

That's right. Players who were on the reserve list of a team at the trade deadline -- via draft rights (e.g. Charlie McAvoy 16-17) or as a qualified RFA (e.g. Vladimir Sobotka 16-17) -- can play in the playoffs. An undrafted free agent (e. g. Daniel Brickley) can't play in the playoffs.

Can anyone confirm what's the status of these players regarding the expansion draft in 2020? I've read conflicting reports. Some say this season counts as their first pro year, some say it doesn't.
