Prospect Info: General Prospect Discussion Thread 2020-21 - Part 2

[GuerinUp]

I'm sure trained nutritionists, dieticians, and doctors are more equipped to instruct Rossi on a helpful diet as opposed to us.

i wasnt implying they didnt, was more curious of the cause? maybe keep cholesteral low to help with the previous swelling?

That'll be interesting. I don't think Jones is ready to be an AHL starter, Lindberg probably isn't either. Having the two of them tandem is a recipe for disaster.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Boo; does that mean we have to sign him or he's a FA?

One of them is probably destined for the ECHL squad.

No more of one than this season.

Jones was pretty rough in the AHL I'd throw Jones down and keep Lindberg.

Coralville!

How is it that Lindberg still had another year of eligibility?

Eligibility for what?

 

[MuckOG]

Eligibility for what?

Senior season at UMass. When I checked HockeyDB.com, I mistakenly thought he already played 4 seasons....but they duplicated the 20-21 season.

Oh yeah that'll do it. Weren't all NCAA players also granted an extra year of eligibility anyway because of the covid thing?

So he just doesn't want to be in this organization then? How far off can the two sides be on an ELC?

Well alright, good riddance.

Some team is going to offer him a contract, because of this season.

 

[57special]

I wonder what the problem is? Did they tell him he'd be starting in the ECHL, and he balked at that?

He might think there are enough vacancies in the league right now that, combined with the flat cap, he stands a good chance of snagging a backup job right away. Or at least an AHL starter/first call-up role. With Talbot and Kahkonen in Minnesota this team might require more patience than he's got.

There's a major detail being left out of this Lindberg story. Otherwise it makes absolutely no sense. There's nothing to negotiate. If Lindberg doesn't want to play in the Minnesota organizaton, then there's no reason for him to even talk to Guerin. If Lindberg does want to play here, then there's no reason for him not to be already signed.

Maybe the discussion was just for show, so he is eligible to submit that 30-day letter? I honestly didn't know a prospect could submit a 30-day letter to just get out of the organization that drafted them.

It’s the Wheeler rule for NCAA players

There's no "for show" though. A player isn't obligated to sign a contract with the team that drafts him. All he has to do is wait the required amount of time and he can become a UFA. If that is Lindberg's intentions, then it doesn't make sense that he would even discuss a contract with Guerin.

Ah, ok. I thought this was a year early for that. Thanks for clarifying.

With Jones in front of him, I don't think Lindberg is going to get a fair shake here. Probably also believes he played better than his 7th round status.

 

[MuckOG]

Interesting nuggets from Russo's latest in the Athletic.

*Khovanov is currently deciding whether to return to North America or continue in the KHL, a source close to him says.

On Mennel...

**Looking for a one-way contract from the Wild, or he may return to Europe and become an unrestricted free agent in 2022, a source says.
