Too bad on Heineman as I really hoped to get a look at him in the AHL before summer.

Curious to see how Kidney does against pro players who are physically stronger. Any word on if he is playing tonight !?

Same here. But if it's for him to recover fully and come back 100% next year, then I'm willing to wait.

I wouldn't expect him to play. Maybe he'll get some game time. But I think he's there more to be with the Black Aces and be around the team and pick up on things and get some info on what it's like to be a pro.

Curious to know why Roy didn’t sign same contract?

'Cause he's still playing.

Because he's playing in the QMJHL playoffs with Sherbrooke?

I'm looking forward. But He just might not be ready physically. No sense in rushing him and risking injury.

If need be, we can let him develop physically as well as hockey wise before we put him in pro games. We may have a gem. So let's bring him along step by step. Let him dominate each stage and be physically ready before he goes to the next stage.

Could someone please explain what's an amateur contract?

What's the duration of the contract?

Didn't he sign his elc few weeks ago?

Thnx

The ELC starts next year (or later because it slides if he stays in junior, which he should). He needs a contract to be around the team this year.. ATOs are just that: short term contracts (try out)

Dang, really hope Heineman can get back to 100% this offseason. Not a good sign that he hasn’t been able to play in months

I still can't believe Heineman got smoked in his first game after getting traded to us and still hasn't played since then. Talk about bad luck man.

It's better he got injured then than now. From a positive point of view it's actually the best timing for such an injury.

It's going to really suck if he flames out.

 

[cphabs]

My bad.

No worries brother/sister! I often ask questions about eligibility of our prospects… and contacts. I always get crushed. From my experience? On these boards? It’s good to see an opinion as a fan’

This guy's face screams "I am not physically strong enough to play yet! Let me work this summer before getting myself killed in a playoff game! (sweat)"

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

can he even play in the playoffs i thought the list they had to submit was awhile back,well unless he was in there

 

[DAChampion]

The Habs prospect pool will obviously be worth shit if everybody keeps getting injured.
