We did sign Kunitz too. It's odd seeing MDA (Mighty Ducks of Anaheim) on hockey reference, we're now ANA.
Andy Mac, Penner, and Kunitz were great finds. Maybe Benoit and Kindopp can pan out similarly.

Benoit is a good finding
NHL Transactions
Surely not all signings in there but most. At worst we got a good player for San Diego.

Benoit looks better and better - i`m excited for that signing.
Kindopp scored 39 last year and might challange 40 this year. Happy for this signing, will be an interesting addition for San Diego.
I'm excited for any prospect signing so that our scouts get something for their hard work. I just hope he was high on our scout's list because most of the top UFA prospects like going to bigger market teams. One concern I have is that the contract is for 3 years. They must really believe in him to offer that many years and I hope it doesn't turn into another Redmond contract that limits us from signing other UFA prospects. Its a lot less risk to have offered 1 or 2 and having the player turn into a RFA.

3 years is the required ELC for players of his age

3 years is standard entry level, no? I wasn't aware ELC's could sign for anything less. Or is that just standard practice since teams anticipated improvement and don't want their hands forced to giving out a raise?
Oh, I thought we could offer 1 year or 2. Is it an age thing? We've signed college and Euro players for a 1 year contract, but those players were probably closer to 25.
Looks like Murray's flavor of the year is getting guys with speed. Finally catching up with the times, but probably not going to work if he still likes old school guys like Getzlaf, Backes, Deslauriers type of players who play possession along the boards.

Cool, thanks for the info. I wonder if we could have signed him in July and offered a 2 year pact, but I'm sure he had interest from other teams too. Looking forward to seeing him in person at our development camps. We desperately need to hit on one of these signings... we've been signing fillers with little upside like Moldenhaurer or worse.

Interestingly another Everett player signed an ELC. Interesting numbers. @Los Patos de Anaheim any info?

Christiansen is a sick ass defenseman. Offensive star with a smart and physical
defensive game to go along with a real mean streak. Probably not an NHL player yet but will be a solid AHL player for a long time. Left-handed Cale Makar-lite. Think 2014 MDZ.

Yeah I remember him. Didn’t we get him and Laganiere in the same offseason? The later has turned out to be a half decent player in Europe in fairness but he took a while to become a factor in the AHL.

Even worse is that it was 7 years ago. Honestly can't believe it's that long ago already, feels like yesterday we signed them

Interesting video highlighting Kindopps speed and shot/backhand. We likey targeted him for his speed, finishing, and power play success. Praying the outcome is better than Fiore!
