[CristianoRonaldo]

Can't sign Oksentyuk.

 

[sandviper]

Can't sign Oksentyuk.

Yup... he had to had played in North America prior to the draft I believe is the rule for a U21 player.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hawel, York, Marleau and Guay have all played well. Struthers has looked decent, too.

I'm biased towards Hawel.

 

[Andrei79]

Wouldn't sign any of them.

 

[Hins77]

Liam Hawel. I liked his speed for a 6´´5 guy. We have a lot of small guy, it could be interesting to have him in Laval

 

[26Mats]

Can't sign Oksentyuk.

So he'll be in the draft next year?

Yeah if they could get him on an AHL contract that'd be great. Let him earn his nhl contract next year

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

So he'll be in the draft next year?

Yes.

 

[calder candidate]

So he'll be in the draft next year?

Yes

 

[TT1]

Hawel and York, definitely Hawel tho.

 

[Tyson]

Hawel and York, definitely Hawel tho.

Based on the hundreds of posts that I have read your assessment seems spot on.
Why didn’t Dallas extend a contract to Hawel though?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Just for Laval purposes, Hawel would be a big upgrade on Pezzetta for them.

York is also intriguing, his season was hindered by injuries. I'd give him a shot too.

 

[koyvoo]

None

 

[Yoshidas Island]

For players who are still draft eligible, We can't sign them to an AHL contract, and all of the invites aren't worth an ELC.

Hawel, Plouffe and Struthers are all worth AHL contracts.

 

[DangerDave]

Hawel for sure. Not sure what Dallas was thinking

 

[wildD]

Draft him next year Oksentyuk
sign for sure York, Hawel
Maybe sign Guay

 

[David Suzuki]

I thought Hawel looked really good in the first scrimmage.

He has a tendency to float.

Maybe not getting signed was a wake up call to give a f*** every game.

 

[Treb]

Sign York to bypass the draft. Maybe wait after rookie camp though.

AHL contract for Guay,Plouffe, Struthers and Hawel. All start in the ECHL probably.

Keep an eye on Oksentyuk for next year 7th round if he stays in Europe. If he goes CHL, sign him after the draft if he goes undrafted and progressed.

Hawel was noticeable especially in the first scrimmages. I’d like to see what Bouchard can do with him.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If we're going from the prospect camp alone, Hawel for sure, maybe Guay and Struthers. I'd definetely spend an ELC on Oksentyuk if we legally can ( only if he goes to the CHL if memory serves) , I don't care if he's smol, he's got some tools.

He had to be in the CHL last year to be eligible, so there is no way to have him in the system until the 2020 draft. After the 2020 draft, IF he went CHL, we could sign him IF he goes undrafted again (or we could draft him too).

 

[CheldishGamibno]

I wouldn't use too many contract spots, I'd sign Hawell and that's it.

Take a chance and draft York and/or Oksentyuk in 2020.

 

[canadiensnation]

I would try and get Hawel on an AHL deal.
