Keeps going!

By my count that's 16 new signings today (Moldenauer was out there before).

Let the signings continue!



Despite the use of Florida Panthers in the tweet, it is indeed an AHL deal per the linked article.

Keeps going!

Surprised Joly didn't get an ELC. What's the knock on a guy who generates points like that at 22?

He's pretty one dimensional. Which yes scoring goals is a nice dimension to have but he has a long way to go before thinking of making NHL impact. Glad he stayed on with the Eagles tho, hopefully he can stick full time.

Scored 7 points in 12 games on a ATO with Cleveland last season.




RELEASE: Oilers sign Josh Currie
Like Alexander True, Currie upgraded his AHL deal to a NHL contract.

Love these AHL >> ELC signings like True and Currie. By my count that is 25 so far this year and counting (I go by October 1 till September 30). Up from 18 the year before, and 13 the year before. AHL contracts meanwhile are ~ +40 compared to 4 years ago.

Appreciate you tracking the progression of the contracts too Growler. It would be interesting too to see how many of those players who sent from AHL to NHL contracts actually played in the NHL, and how many games they played. In other words, are these players actually becoming full time NHLers, or just occasional injury replacements, or are teams using a one year NHL ELC (and the attendant bonus and other perks) as a reward for AHL players who did the grunt work in the minors, but don't really have a chance to advance.
