so who are some of the bigger name prospects who still need to be signed?

Players who played in Russia don't count, correct? Because there's no transfer agreement so the teams still own their rights?

I know of:

Sergei Kostitsyn
Juraj Mikus
Ondrej Pavelec
Chris Durand
Kendal McCardle
Tyler Plante
Martin Hanzal

I really wouldn't be surprised if Pavelec refuses to sign with Atlanta and re-enters the draft.

- He will be behind Lehtonen on the depth chart for years to come if he does sign with them. Not exactly the most exciting scenario for a young goalie. It's a similar situation to Schneider's in Vancouver.

- He could easily be a first round pick in this draft, especially with the lack of quality goalies available. Hell, I could see a team like Florida picking him at 10. Which could mean a very quick arrival into the NHL as a starting goalie.

- As a first rounder he can get the rookie max, not too sure he would get it from Atlanta.

Yeah, It probably would be smart for him to re-enter the draft.

And I agree, I can definately see him going in the first round.

Oh, wow. That's awesome. I'm curious, too. He looked like a pretty intriguing prospect.

According to Thomas Pöck he's the best playerin Austria . But I'm not really impressed with his play.

cal clutterbuck is the man

I remember my friend telling me he walked by the T.V. and heard a player called Clutterbuck and he bursted out laughing. I can't wait for the kid to be in the NHL just so I can laugh at his name.. Just like Tenkrat in Boston.
