Nickolas Latta

[Tronador]

Although he is an overaged player in OHL, he seems to have a great year with 23 goals in 36 games. Any chance, that he will get a contract for the AHL/ECHL next year? Any comments concerning his skills and potential?

I also would like to know if he will get a contract in the AHL. He's playing a great season, but the problem is that he is already 20 years old. We will see.

I think he can make more money in Germany than in the AHL/ECHL and that's why I guess he'll head back to Germany after this season.

I feel the same way. Although, if he gets an offer from an AHL team, I could see him stay for one or two season(s) and give it a go, but a return to Germany seems more likely.

Definition of ATO.

An Amateur Try Out (ATO) is found in the NHL, the AHL, and the ECHL. This type of contract is for players that are leaving college and attempting to turn professional, are done with college, or are graduating from the junior leagues. This is a very common practice near the end of the professional seasons as they go deeper into the year than college or junior schedules.
