No need for Daws, and that pricetag. Cavallin is more than adequate if he’s healthy. I don’t know what the kid needs to do to prove that. Koly can’t go to the AHL next year, he’s not gonna go back to Europe either unless they are much farther ahead of the coronavirus. Busby could go pro but I don’t think he’s ready to make the jump to the AHL. Smereck and Saarijarvi both spent decent stints in the ECHL though, so it’s possible. I could see McCourt making the jump to the pro ranks. I would pay double on my season tickets to see Tucker returned but it’s not gonna happen. It’s obvious Branch wants to build from the net out and values D, so figure it’ll be two D one F as OA’s. I like Wismer over Roberts but they’re much thinner at C, so unless that issue is addressed they need to consider hanging on to Roberts.
He was an import pick..not a regular draft pick...he can go to the AHL if Florida chooses...but I don’t see that happening
Doesn’t matter. He was a signed OHL player when taken in the NHL draft, therefore he’s either NHL or OHL until he’s a 20yo. There are certain cases where the import player is technically on loan from his European club but that’s not the case with Koly. Now, the NHL/OHL agreement is up for renegotiation this year and Ryan Merkely could wreck it for all the OHL clubs though and that changes. Florida could choose to send him to play Pro in Europe but due to a few circumstances, I find that highly unlikely unless the European season is much more “on schedule” than North America.
