Do the Ranger have 30 prospects?
Skjei, add Graves.
I know Buchnevich has a higher ceiling, but I'll take the guy playing against NA competition right now.
Graves has been developing well for a couple years now, so I'll take him over relative unknowns we just drafted.
i am not figuring why Nejezchleb is not eligible
and Graves is listed to choose from, and listed as available to add
Skjei, add Tambellini, his playoffs were impressive, the kind of domination Gordie looks for when moving up a level
I believe it was just an oversight by Beacon, because unless im reading that criteria thing wrong, he is most definitely eligible and still considered a prospect.
I may be wrong, but is Nej still Rangers property? They didn't offer him a contract and he's 20. Wouldn't that mean he's free to sign wherever he pleases?
Ranger's still have him listed as their property on their website.
I'm not a expert with all the rules, but I can't imagine we can lose a player just 1 year after drafting him (even if he was an overage player in the draft).
Once a player is drafted, his team essentially has until next June to keep exclusive rights to him. A club retains a players exclusive negotiating rights until he's 22 after he's drafted if
- He leaves Major Junior hockey before age 20 (if he hangs out for one year, the team has to give him that Bona Fide Offer, otherwise they don't.)
- He goes to college. He doesn't even have to stay there. The CBA allows for his rights to be extended a bit beyond the fourth year after his drafting, but doesn't allow for a way that a player can re-enter the draft.
- He plays in a foreign league
Richard Nejezchleb is turning 22 on 2 May 2016.
