give us some insight oilerchick. In the NA it looked like he was a goal scorer, but his stats show that hes more of a playmaker in college. How does he play? One article said he was a power forward but he doesn't seem very big for one....how physical is he? Is he top 6 or bust or what
one thing i have noticed is Brians willingness to trust his scouts. This has turned out well because he assembled a team bent on the NEW Nhl game and thus far they have been giving us pretty good odds.
my question is he suited for the New Nhl?

:sigh:, never heard anyone say they are against free agent prospects. We are better as an organization for signing him. Why are you judging someone that you have never seen play?
Im estatic, we have an NCAA prospect signing to strengthen our team. Hopefully more to come

No...It was to symbolize that those stats are amazing and he is our new shiny new toy prospect dethroning Zibanejad as our top prospect, hence making him expendable.
No need to be hasty there, I didn't expect everyone to get it
Well, I didn't make the connection and I assume most people didn't as well. Cole Schneider is closer to Wacey Hamilton and Pat Cannone than Mika Zibanejad who was drafted 6th overall last year. They shouldn't be in the same discussion
They need to sign good players for the AHL too (like when they signed DD, Cannone and Hamilton). Another thing they look for when they sign that kind of player is upside and determination, and with a good work ethic it could eventually produce a NHL player
Finally, they do sign those free agents to offset the picks they traded. Great asset management.
Traded a 2nd round pick? Not even mad, going to sign a Butler or a Da Costa. Traded a 4th round pick? Not even mad, going to sign a Winchester or a Dziurzynski
Those guys didn't cost anything in terms of assets, just a bit of money.
Winchester makes 750 000$ (close to minimum) and is actually a very good 4th liner. Great on face-offs and along the boards, great on the PK, good defensive awareness and has produced 18 pts per 82 games played (229 NHL Games Played)
Butler (1.05 cap hit) has a disappointing sophomore season but most NHL players do in their 2nd season. That being said, he still has a career pace of 33 pts per 82 games played... Not bad for a guy who played most of those games in a sophomore season and also a bunch of them on the 4th line. He has also hit a ridiculous number of posts this year, very snakebitten.
That being said, we have another guy named Stephane Da Costa (Also Dziurzynski, Cannone, Schira and Hamilton but they were more AHL signings IMO) waiting for an opportunity
Yup, another case of unrealistic expectations hockey fan syndrome
PS : Murray also found Chris Kunitz but wasn't the one who signed McDonald...

I gave a brief rundown on Cole on the prospects board. You can check it out there.

OH, ALSO:
I'm fairly sure this puts us at 50 contracts right now. I could be wrong, though. Someone might want to double check that, don't take my word for it.
... Unless "sliding contracts" don't count. Not sure if they do. If not, we have lots of space left this year...

Not saying i'm a huge fan of butler but to add to xspyrit's post, he also has 4 game winning goals. Pretty sure that's second on the team and twice as many as alfie or spezza. One of the few positives you can say about butler,s season.

I believe the Sens are at 47.
Schneider's contract likely won't take effect until next season. He'll play in Binghamton on an ATO and the deal will start running next fall - pretty common thing with college free agents.

I just want to say when I first saw this thread I thought it said "Sens sign Cory Schneider" and I was like wut 
Quite possible he'll be on Bingo contract, not Ottawa.
Looking through AHA teams over the past few years, AHA rarely produces AHL regulars at all. I don't think any NHL drafted players ever played in that conference.
I don't think this guy is so much better than others. Most likely he is brought in as Bingo depth guy, will probably spend some time in ECHL.

Hey, thats better than what I thought at first. I quickly scanned the title and thought it was Mathieu Schneider until i opened the thread. I was like wtf haha...
Do you know how many contracts are expiring this season?
I'm just asking because we have a few interesting prospects we have to make a decision to give a contract to or lose the rights to (Culek, Sorensen), and we'll probably we looking at one or two free agents in the off-season to shore up weakspots.
22. 11 UFA 11 RFA*
basically, we have tons of flexibility.
*not sure if any would qualify for group VI UFA, too lazy to crunch the numbers.

I recall Tanev pulled out at the last minute and went with the Nucks instead. Murray thought the deal was done.

Deep Breath... nope, still mad!
same age, same height, same weight, same style of play.
???????wait a sec......
(well, they're both named bob anyway)
Cole = Bob? Did you forget this?
Also, being younger and taller (he's 6'2" Butler 6' even), he's likely to fill out to be a lot bigger. Like, Zack Smith size, if he works out properly.
Looks like a solid prospect.
But as for dethroning Zibanejad as our top prospect, just pump the breaks on that one. Z-bad plays in a mens leage as a teenager, not a college league. Mika is already bigger than this guy too, and younger. Lets just see where things go before jumping to conclusions.
