Confirmed Signing with Link: 2019 Prospect Thread

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Any NHL player comparison style-wise?

I'd say a young Letestu, but Philp has a higher offensive ceiling.

 

[caley]

Will burn the first year of his ELC this year.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Nick Jones of North Dakota signs with Hartford (AHL).

UND's Nick Jones, Hayden Shaw sign pro deals

 

[Joey Bones]

Will burn the first year of his ELC this year.

Wouldn't this make him an RFA at season's end?

Wouldn't this make him an RFA at season's end?

Yes, it would

 

[Macch]

Anyone know anything about him?

 

[caley]

Olofsson is one of Chicago’s picks with expiring rights. It’s unclear if this is a precursor to an NHL deal or not.

 

[Rengi]

Anyone know anything about him?

From Corey Pronman at the Athletic...

22. Grant Hutton, D, Univ. of Miami (Ohio)-NCHC
July 25, 1995 | 6-foot-3 | 205 pounds
Hutton is an interesting prospect because he’s a 6-foot-3 defenseman who skates well for a big man and has a cannon of a shot. He can help a pro power play with his trigger man abilities. His puck game is so-so. His hands and vision are not his selling point, but his feet allow him to bring pucks up the ice and dish it off to someone off an entry.

Didn't he leave a year or two of eligibility still on the table?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I’m ignorant on the subject, what’s rare about a Dec 31 birthday?

Good question.

Players born on Dec. 31: 19.

Players born on today's date (March 24): 19.
