Former Wild 6th rounder in 2019 whose rights expired.

How come the Islanders can sign hometown players but the Devils cannot?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Same USNDTP class as Jack Hughes

Good for him. Solid college player, and smart.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

There's a Marshall in the town.

He wore Islanders Pajamas. Makes all the difference

Your GM didn’t make his dad an assistant coach like Lou does.

And fittingly he scored the final goal of the season against New Jersey.

Kid is going to be a solid player if he keeps progressing like he has.

Would be a bit funny if he turns into a new Jared Spurgeon. Spurgeon is a small mobile defenseman who was drafted in the 6th round and signed by the Wild after the Islanders didn't sign him. Warren is a small mobile defenseman who was drafted in the 6th round and signed by the Islanders after the Wild didn't sign him.

Interesting thought, although 6'0" and 180+ pounds isn't exactly Spurgeon small.

But no-one would complain if there's a Spurgeon in this young man.

 

[Bronson]

"Undersized" would have been a better wording.

If he turns into Spurgeon this is a grand slam signing. Chances are he won’t but you never know.

Yeah I'd be happy if he even becomes a 7th d-man.

Yeah, Spurgeon is much smaller. Warren wasn't signed because the Wild have a ton of LHD prospects, and a smallish D group as is. It's impossible to say if Warren will ever make the NHL, but he's had good training, is smart, and has some talent. You can't lose in signing him.

Does Detroit have any defensemen in college that are unsigned to replace the former Robbie Russo draft pick?

He’s exactly what you want when signing a college UFA. Hes got legit potential to be developed into a player if all goes well.

I was so high on him. Thought for sure he’d become a legit #5-6 defensman. Teammate of Lee at Notre Dame.

Speaking of Notre Dame, you think that Bryan Rust guy would sign here?

I do but he’s going to get paid $5mil + I believe and while I love his game and he’s a consistent 20 goal guy I feel like we’d be better served aiming higher. We also need to shed salary.
