I think he is still gonna be playing in Juniors next season. He doesn't turn 20 until late Jan.
Lol why are people getting upset? Signing him doesn't change anything, he's not eligible to play in the AHL or ECHL. It's really just a formality.
lol wut.
Fitz really needs another year of juniors, so unless we're planning on pulling him off that godawful Sherbrooke team and sending him to the ECHL, that's probably what will happen. His stats have been inconsistent and generally unimpressive this season, and in terms of shots/game he really isn't seeing that many more on average than any of the other goalies in our system. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
I think it is a little confusing in that we are now using 6 of our 50 contracts on goalies. I just can't see how we would have been in danger of losing him if we didn't sign him, so unless there is another factor in play here that I'm missing it doesn't really make sense to me to burn one of our 50 contracts on a guy this in-proven.
Not a single poster in this thread was upset.

Don't think people upset. Just weird wasting one of 50 contracts on a guy that will still likely play in juniors next year.
Sad story for hockey Newfoundland

He won't count against the 50 SPC limit until he turns 20.Don't think people upset. Just weird wasting one of 50 contracts on a guy that will still likely play in juniors next year.
We need a new GM.
Fitzpatrick will not make the AHL club. He will probably stay in Jr another year, then probably a year in the ECHL. But if he does end up in the AHL next year, then I don't get this at all.What the hell are we doing? This only makes sense if they know for sure Hutton is gone and Binnington will be up. Even then, why take time away from Husso?
Edit: I'm an idiot. Forgot we could still send him back to juniors.
