Confirmed with Link: Sens to sign G Andrew Hammond

[German Senator]

Free agent goalie from NCAA

Not confirmed on website so still a rumor. Not a bad depth signing. Bingo had no goalie next season so far.

Could of drafted a goalie with that 6th round pick

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

Nice, preparing for life without Bishop and no Lehner in Bingo i assume..

Only 20ish days to deadline!

 

[Scrub*]

Rebuild complete

 

[BonkTastic]

I know next to nothing about Hammond, but based on the fact that there aren't enough players with Top Gun nicknames in our organization, I'm going to call him "Maverick" from now on.

Give 'em hell, Maverick!

 

[sens83]

I hope this kid is better than the numbers show...

 

[spartachris]

I hope so too! Ouch

 

[danishh]

hey, anyone know who our western amateur scout is? Seems like we've been hitting up the region a lot recently (Hammond played in the BCHL for a couple of years before college).

Gryba - sask junior before college
Wiercioch - BCHL
Dziurzinski - AJHL/BCHL
Zack Smith - WHL
Turris - BCHL

all around 88-90 birthdays.

I remember it was George Fargher who was talking about another western pick (Driedger) this past summer at the draft, him maybe? Not sure how long he has been with this staff

 

[Beville]

The stats are well, meh...

But how well does him team stack up as a whole?

 

[EastCoastSensFan]

He is a guy that can play as one of the goalies for Bingo next year because it is likely that robin will be our backup and bish will be moved at the draft i would guess.

This allows our CHL goalies to continue to develop in major junior.

besides can never have too many goalies.

.917 on a losing team is not bad.

IIRC, NHL teams are allowed a maximum of 50 pro contracts at any one time, and I believe the Senators were pushing up against that number. Now that we have signed a few college free agents, I gather that there will have to be a bit of a cull, with a few guys in Bingo not getting their contracts renewed. This organization's depth is now such that if you are a marginal player in Bingo, and the organization has decided you don't have an NHL future, your release will be coming. It's the cruel circle of life in pro sports...

I think Bob Lowe may be one of the big western guys

Maybe he actually signed with Bingo. I don't see why would Murray sign him to NHL contract right now.

Bring on the Sustr!

Yes, but they can sign players to 2013-1014 contracts. Those only count next year. On top of that, there are currently 2 UFAs and 5 RFAs in Bingo. I think we're safe.

He signed with the Sens. And pay no mind to his numbers. Think Luongo in Florida.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Garry Galley will be pleased.

None of the latest signing count against the current 50, contracts are deferred until next year.

 

[DJB]

Never have too much goaltender depth.

On Contracts

There are a few UFAs that they might not re-sign in Jessiman, Lawson, Lundin & Regin. Then there is the possibility that Gonchar, Benoit & Latendresse are not re-signed & whether Alfredsson decides to return. There could also be a few RFAs that they could release like Caporusso, Cowick or Daugavins & there is always the possibility of trading some guys like Bishop, Hoffman or Condra. I believe they have until the start of next season or shortly afterwards to get to 50 contracts.
