Ironic timing, and cautionary tale, given the exceptional # of players who applied for, or earned, exceptional status recently in CHL.

If I remember correctly, at the time, a lot of concern was that Day was just bigger than everyone else, not necessarily better. That his head just wasn't in the game, and I won't be surprised if he takes a one year deal in the AHL or just walks away this year or next.

I liked Vala a lot back when I was able to scout a lot of WHL. Seems like this year he stepped up and played more AHL hockey after being mostly in the ECHL previously.

I will be interested in how many European players seek out this route in order to play closer to home amidst this pandemic. There’s always a handful of players that do this, I wonder if it will be more this season.

Not just closer to home, but we don't really know when the AHL and ECHL will resume play. They are gate-driven leagues, can they even operate without selling tickets to put fans in the building? For some players it may be about hedging their bet and if they can secure an opportunity to actually play in a Europe-based league, they may just take it rather than deal with the uncertainty that is the NA minor pro league season of 2020-21.

Rumoured to be signing back in the KHL for next season

Never came over to North America in the 2 years since signing with the Preds. Weird signing.

Apparently I stopped updating these charts the day before the trade deadline, so they're all updated now.

It's weird they're doing this before the end of the playoffs.

Yes. What about Dallas and TB, will they buy out players while they are still playing ?

This is surprising to me.

I guess maybe he needs a change for personal reasons, but I though a large part of his story to recovery was Ottawa and the support system he built there.

EDIT: thought it was a mutual termination, based on the wording of the tweet but looks to be a buyout. So Ryan probably didn't have much say.

 

[Mike Jones]

A little surprised about Ouellet

Never thought I'd say this to you Caley but are you sure this is the right thread?

I really gotta get some new glasses!

I've moved it back to the free agency thread now, thanks!

No worries - I just wanted to be clear.

Merry effin Christmas kid.

The tweet is gone.

Who was it?

Not sure if it was the tweet, but CapFriendly has SJS' Danil Yurtaykin on unconditional waivers for mutual termination

 

[Ciao]

Things prolly look better in Russia for the kid.

That was the one, I assume Kurz deleted the tweet because he referred to it as purposes of a "Buy-Out", thinking of it as a blanket, catch-all for teams terminating a contract, not realizing he was on Twitter and every single person is going to respond "Buy-Out? You can't buy out a player now!"
