Confirmed with Link: Panther re-sign forward Juho Lammikko to a 1 year deal

[PBPantherfan]

I put this in the Mamin thread as well, but I wanna put it here too.
----------------------------
So the way I see this:

Vatrano...gone
Lammikko...gone (yeah I know he got a QO, but I doubt he signs)

LINEUP LOCKS (8):
Barkov, Huberdeau, Verhaeghe, Bennett, Reinhart, Duclair, Hornqvist, Tippett

NOT GUARANTEED SPOTS (8), BOLDED ARE WAIVER EXEMPT (5):
Luostarinen, Lundell, Denisenko, Heponiemi, Acciari, Marchment, Lomberg, Mamin

Assuming we carry 14 forwards, it looks like at any given time, 2 of bolded above will be in the minors.
I'd expect Luostarinen and Denisenko to be the ones who start in the AHL playing on the first line.

Love it, Lammy was exactly what Zito said last season. Solid contributor and never looked in over his head.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

We're gonna run 15 forwards, 3 D, 1 G.

Any word on whether it's one-way or two-way?
If it's one-way (which it has to be [but then again I've been proven wrong already]) then that's probably the end for Acciari/Luostarinen. Would rather lose Lammikko before Acciari, but it's whatever. If we're quitting on Eetu for Juho, I'll be mad.

They can still be buried in the AHL at zero cap, right? Since they're under 1 mil (though it does ensure they will get paid).
I guess this decreases the chance we lose them on waivers?

No, it enables us to lose them on waivers.
Players sign one-way deals when they don't want to be sent to the AHL. That way, if a team tries to send them down, they have to go through waivers and have the opportunity to be given a roster spot by any other team willing to take them.
This actually bugs me because now we have so many more guys (who can't be sent down) clogging up space for our young guys.

Actually the waiver exempt thing still applies whether you're on 1-way or 2-way.

But I'd imagine if it came down to it, Zito would put a player on waivers even if he was exempt, because it gives good PR among players for future signings. Sort of we'll find you another spot if it doesn't work here.

Yes and no, mostly no. It guarantees them the NHL level salary.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Yeah I believe anything below 1.25 can go to the AHL and not count against the cap

I like Juho. He did a good job ok PK with Barky and some others. He also potted a couple of big goals. He’s not a liability even if his goal production isn’t big.

 

[iam76]

great to keep him. it's all about depth.. season will require depth. him and mamin make sense

That is correct

Contracts don't have much to do with waiver eligibility. It's all about age and games played.
