can anyone tell me what happens to these UNDRAFTED and highly touted players by the Hockey News:NURMI, VORONIN, KHOVRIN, PONOMAREV? :dunno:

They opt into the next draft, I'd imagine. I don't think teams are allowed to sign Euros as free agents, they have to be drafted.

ok

THANKS i didn't know what their status became. :handclap:

Small correction: Nurmi's Finnish. I really would have thought he'd have been drafted last year.

I know Radoslav Suchy was signed as an undrafted free agent.. not sure how it happened.. I wasnt paying attention back then

Hmm... I guess because he played in juniors up in the Q.

There is no way that is a Russian name. Gotta be Finnish or something.

Edit: Seachd beat me to it. Guess I should read the thread before I post. :p
