Prospect Info: 2018 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS Development Camp

[GoCaps2004]

If Giles impresses at development camp, is he allowed to sign an ELC since he went undrafted? I am confused a bit by the CBA. Section 8.9 (b) (ii):
"No Player shall be eligible for play in the League unless he: had been eligible for claim in the last Entry Draft, but was unclaimed, and: had played hockey in North America the prior season and was under age 20 at the time of the last Entry Draft, and signed an SPC which was signed and registered with the League between the conclusion of the Entry Draft and commencement of the Major Juniors season (except that if such Player had signed an NHL try-out form, which was signed and registered with the League during the aforesaid time period, then the deadline for signing and registering with the League an SPC with such try-out Club shall be the commencement of the NHL Season)."

I think this means he could be signed? but am quite unsure

That does kind of sound like they could sign him as long as it happens before the season, but I doubt they do.

agree it's highly unlikely that the even would, but wondering if they could. i thought I remembered pitt doing something like this sometime but im not sure if im misremembering.

Yes, they are allowed to sign Giles as an UDFA since he played in North America last season. You cannot sign UDFA Europeans the same way (rule inhereted from early days of drafting Euros in order to prevent teams from stashing prospects in Europe). However, Giles is currently slated to play for Boston College in the fall, so signing a contract would mean he gives up his NCAA eligibility. I doubt he signs right now.

Looks like his OHL rights are owned by Sarnia so that could be an option should they try to make that case for him. BC is probably best for his development provided he gets regular TOI but I don't how he'll stack up on their depth chart. He's more of a bottom six C/LW so it's possible he could get a bigger role in the OHL instead. That said, he's retained NCAA eligibility to this point and the physical training component at BC, esp. getting faster, is probably best for him ultimately.

Given that his future is pro hockey is pretty murky at this point, I'd say the NCAA route is definitely the best for him. Worst case scenario he can still get a full ride education at BC.

I do kick myself for cutting class the day they taught the CBA.

Totally clueless when it comes to the CBA.

That’s ****ing funny...

 

[ReggietheSavage15]

How's Connor Hobbs looking? He's got to be in the mix this year for 6/7D, right?

Depends on who else the Caps sign. if they resign Kempny and Orpik...Hobbs stand very little chance of making the big squad (failing injury).

If they dont sign those 2 (or even one of them), then sure....he has a chance. he's probably behind Bowey on the depth chart. Who himself is behind Djoos.

 

[RandyHolt]

I didn't notice Hobbs yesterday, but rest assured he was doing just fine in the drills.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Hobbs has a ways to go before he's in the NHL. Unless he has a spectacular camp, he's going to be getting a lot of minutes in Hershey

 

[ReggietheSavage15]

Thanks for the update, fellas. Hobbs is a guy I've had my eye on since we drafted him. Like the offensive upside, but more importantly, his snarl. Dude plays with a crazy edge...

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Here for the 3-on-3 tourney. Caps rink has temporary boards up, dividing it into 3 mini rinks. This should be fun.

Holy run on sentence

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Probably the most enjoyable non-scrimmage development camp practice I've watched. Clark, Ikonen, and Seigenthaler were the standouts for me.

No, Reirden should NOT shave his head.

I would love to spend friday morning at Kettler - schedule looks good. f***ing work really infringes on my personal life. I am not even allowed to sleep at my desk.

well no one is lol

RH suffering hard because of Caps. Diehard.

On the topic. It seems Ovechkin somehow cemented his legendary status not by winning the cup but with swimming in the fountain. Moscow born guy in the heart of DC. You cant make this up.

Siege? Interesting. Maybe Orpik wants to be a coach in the end. He could realize it like tomorrow. We need some roster slots for kids.

And I guess drafting AA means both Siege/LuJo should start to get 110% out of themselves.

Agree about the young defenders. With the resigning of Kempny, there's but only so many spots available for the defense. If Orpik doesn't come back a 5/6 spot as well as a 7 spot. I suppose if no Orpik, BMAC is watching how the young d looks in development camp to see if he should entertain the return of Jerabek. If no Orpik, would prefer going with the yutes if they're up for the task which would be the likes of Bowey (this should be the season where he comes in to his own) and a Johansen/Siege. Same goes for filling the forward spots left by the departure of Chiasson, time to roll with the yutes.
