Good signing.

What will people have to complain about though?

Any chance we see him in NJ this year?

I honestly doubt it really. Unless he plays out of his mind down in the AHL and we clinch the playoffs with a few games left or something. And then maybe he could get a game

 

[NJDevs26]

He only signed a 2-year ELC, it'd be extreme to burn one of them straight off just to get an undersized guy here that's probably not pro-ready, unless that was the only way of getting him here since the clock was ticking. I get we sort of did that with Santini and Wood, but those guys were a bit more highly touted and had longer ELC's too.

I dobut he would play the 9 games it would take for him to lose a year from his ELC. It will most likely slide to next year if he plays under that.

Then what was the thing with playing Santini and Wood to burn a year off the contract at the end of the season two years ago, was that just to burn a FA year off?

Yeah it was FA year im pretty sure.. pretty dumb thing to do

 

[Cheddabombs]

His contract doesn't even begin until next season. He's going to sign an ATO tomorrow and then report to Bing, he won't be with the big club this year at all

Eh they probably needed to do it to entice those players to come, plus in Santini's case it probably isn't a big deal considering he's a stay-at-home defenseman for the most part anyway. They might have needed to promise Seney a year off FA too.

Let's not throw him to the wolves when he's not physically ready yet.

Mhm yeah you are probably right. And I'm sure the players really love that extra big pay check they get from playing a game or two too.

Also, he just can't play with us this season because of his contract

 

[Stand Witness]

Two of my buddies went to high school and were friends with him then. Pretty cool guy apparently, congrats to him.

Brett is such a good hockey name

And wrestling too

All he needs is metallic-pink sunglasses and he can call himself :

Brett "The Hitman" Seney!

 

[Blackjack]

Missed this. Apparently we also signed his teammate Alfred Larsson to an ATO. Maybe we can flip him for McDavid.

His smile is upside down

Well, we really didn't, our ECHL team did. Not much offensive talent for a Swedish forward, in 118 games he has 8 goals and 13 assists

Hmm, maybe we'll have to settle for RNH.

I dobut he would play the 9 games it would take for him to lose a year from his ELC. It will most likely slide to next year if he plays under that.

The 9 game rule only applies to 18/19 year olds. So when Santini/Wood signed as 20 year olds at the end of 2015-16, that allowed them to burn a year off their 3 year ELC.

But as mentioned previously, Seney's ELC doesn't kick in until next year and he signed an ATO to play in the AHL for this season.

Now that the NCAA season is over, we'll start seeing signings across the league. And it won't be surprising to see some really random guys dress in a game or two. Albeit technically a player would only have to be on the roster and not necessarily dress in order to burn a year. Philadelphia did that with Alex Lyon a few years back. Vegas is doing that with Zach Whitecloud now.
