Fitz dropped the ball with JMac.
He's going to make Fitz look bad when he becomes a NHL regular with FLA.
Bingo will be young again
Bingo fans should brace themselves for more losses but possibly a quicker and more skilled team than last season

I can’t be too upset about JMac. It will suck if he becomes a good NHLer, but It was obvious that the Devils tried to sign him. Maybe his desire to be here was misjudged. You can see the contract numbers and wonder why the Devils didn’t matched, but we will never know the intimate details.

Hey guys, any idea if Yegor Zaitsev will come over to the AHL this season? Already 20 years old and has a full year of experience in a better league (KHL).

I think his KHL contract has at least another year on it, so I doubt it

Sucks we traded Rykov for some bimbo. It really destroyed my dream of seeing 5 Yegors and a Goalie.

Couple points.
Maybe I'm making too much of this one, but when mentioning the young d-men already in the organization(in comparison to those just drafted), Chainey was the first guy mentioned. Granted the new regime has not been here long and has not invested many early picks on d-men, but the fact that Chainey was the first name out of his mouth, I take that as something.
Ftiz says they will be using the ECHL more as a development tool. Saw it last year with White, and mentioned Sissons and Gignac as guys who could see time there next year. Though I'm sure there are others who could see time there as well, especially with how many draftee's will be coming into the pro ranks in upcoming seasons.
These guys were saying Sharangovich will be able to play in the US this year. I know that's disputed a little, but they were saying yes.
Lots of praise for Schmelzer.
Incredible article on some of your prospects

Standout for me
Matt Hellickson - Notre Dame - 20 - Defense:
"He was the biggest surprise for me because I never saw any video of him. He was drafted in a late round in his second time through the draft. One of our scouts, Jim Mill, told me a lot about him and he was really excited. Then, when I saw him play, I was really impressed. He has a pretty complete game right now and he's on one of the top teams in college hockey and he contributes every night, plays a lot of minutes and is really reliable. So every time I see him I'm looking for flaws in his game and there really aren't many. He's a strong skater, pivots well, keeps it simple and his coaches really speak highly of him. He's got a great work ethic. So I think he might be one of the steals in the draft for us and I think a lot of other people are starting to see that too.
His first pass might be his biggest strength and out of all our guys he might be the best one at it and, playing in the NHL, making a good first pass is half the battle. Then he has the ability to cover a lot of ground and keeps pucks alive and gets to loose pucks quick. I just really like the way he plays and I've told a lot of our scouts that this kid might be our best prospect at this point out of all the college guys.
I met with him this summer while he's training at school and their facilities at Notre Dame are phenomenal. So the longer he stays there, the better because he's going to get great training and play for some good coaches and in some pretty big games." - Weinrich

Eetu Pakkila apparently wants to play college hockey 19-20. This is the best case scenerio for the 18 year old. 4 extra years development to see what you got.
Is he eligible to do so? His eliteprospects says he played one game in the SM-liiga. I guess I don't know how it works - maybe you can play one game there without signing any sort of professional contract.
