Cool.

 

[Human Megaphone]

I'm intrigued by our new strategy of signing guys to big AHL deals and moderate NHL contracts. Theoretically it gives us the options to have better call ups, and looks like a good way for a budget team to build depth.

Who?

Who?

 

[Disengage]

Sabres/Amerks fan coming in peace. Glad to see the local kid getting good AHL money. Going to suck seeing him murder the Amerks for another season again though.

Great news. I'm a Shane Prince fan.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good for him. Another contract down, a few more yet to go.

Hopefully Price gets a longer look this year.

 

[OgieO]

Does he have to go through waivers to play in the AHL?

 

[God Says No]

Does he have to go through waivers to play in the AHL?

Yes, which makes me think he'll get a start with the big club.

 

[GWNR]

Does he have to go through waivers to play in the AHL?

He's signed to a 2-way contract, so no.

Nice, linear offensive development...

2009-10 Ottawa 67's OHL 26 7 6 13
2010-11 Ottawa 67's OHL 59 25 63 88
2011-12 Ottawa 67's OHL 57 43 47 90
2012-13 Binghamton Senators AHL 65 18 17 35
2013-14 Binghamton Senators AHL 69 21 27 48
2014-15 Binghamton Senators AHL 72 28 37 65

Doesn't matter still needs to go through waivers

While I confess that I do not know all the ins and outs of the waiver process, I do believe a 2 way contract is 100% irrelevant.

I think he has a good chance to make Ottawa's team.

I'd have him over greening,Neil,Smith at this point.

 

[Icelevel]

should be in ottawa. most ready bingo player imo

You are correct. 2 way vs 1 way only outlines what the player will get paid in each league. Waiver eligibility is a completely separate entity.

I'm waiting for his sister to tweet something to confirm this.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Expecting him to make the jump full time this year, he's come a long way from his 67's days and i believe he is seasoned and ready to go.

yeah i think he has reached the level he was at in the ohl, in the ahl. So, now ready for nhl. could be a 60+pts guy. excited to see what he can do. good eventual macarthur replacement i think.

That's actually a great comparison that i never thought of.

 

[Benjamin]

He'll definitely be in the NHL out of training camp. Hopefully because of his play and not so he doesn't go through waivers.

I like Prince, but don't think he'll ever be a 60+ guy. I see a ~40 point guy that is scrappy. A Clarke MaCarthur lite.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Low AHL salary means he likely wouldn't pass through waivers, so Ottawa it is I guess?

 

[operasen]

Buffalo will grab him off waivers, no question. That area would sell many 100s of tickets when he came to town, even with Binghamton.

One year deal lets him prove he belongs, and at what level. He needs to stick with the big club (take Condra's spot?). Puempel can still start (and I expect it will be so) in Binghamton and will be a quick call up after injury or trade.

This is a good deal for Prince and the Sens. Now they need to use him and let him show his worth. And he can play RW if needed.
