Apparently Valentin Nussbaumer has terminated his contract agreement with Shawinigan and joined the Swiss team EHC Biel.
Not sure how that plays out from a development standpoint, but he certainly played better at the WJC than he has with Shawinigan...hopefully this helps his development more than being in the Q.
He has to beat Nils Lundkvist though, who is also having a great season. Both are actually on pace to break the record.Currently on pace for the best U20 season from a D in SHL history.
Draft picks whose rights expire this summer:
Expires August 15th:
2016 7th round, Dean Stewart D, senior at NE-Omaha
Expires June 1st:
2016 6th round, Patrick Kudla, Czech Extraliga & 2nd league
2018 5th round, Dennis Busby D, Flint OHL
2018 6th round, David Tendeck G, Vancouver WHL
Looks like Busby should get a contract--he's produced well enough following an injury marred draft season. Haven't had the opportunity to watch Tendeck play, his numbers look like they should be good enough for a ELC.
