The best option to sign Samberg, is to have the UMD season end earlier this season (no championship run) then sign him sometime in mid March and get him into some games. He will use up his first ELC year but hopefully that is the incentive that gets a deal done. He gets his signing bonus money at the time and then the year 2 signing bonus money July 1st and some NHL paychecks in between.
Won't happen but Is Samberg eligible as an emergency callup In case defense gets incredibly depleted?

Seem to recall this happened with an ohl goalie and dman a few years back.

Theoretically, he could leave college and join us at any time. He can't under any circumstances return to college though.

(and it was a WHL goalie for Vegas two years ago)

Not really because he's in the NCAA. In order to play he'd need to sign a pro contract and then he would be ineligible to play in the NCAA afterwards. So we hypothetically could sign him right now and he could suit up for us tonight, but there's no returning him after we get some healthy bodies like there would be with a CHL emergency recall.

Once he signs with the Jets his NCAA career is over. Typically players wait until after their season is over to not leave their team's in the lurch as the pursue a national championship but the NCAA can't force them to stay. You can drop out of University at any time.

What does that mean?
NCAA rules state that a player has to sit out the year if they're transferring schools. Looks like he's attending Niagara but can't play for them until next year. Probably also means that he might as well be written off as a prospect.

Yeah. He hadn't shown much anyway but that would pretty much settle it.

At least this way he'll at least get top 4 minutes in his new school. But unless he progresses substantially he'll have a hard time making it to the AHL. Niagara doesn't seem to develop many pros.

He is definitely not going to make it to the AHL. Either he retires, plays overseas, or has a career in the ECHL.

10 points in 11 games after a slow ish start. Feels greedy for an 18 year old 4th rounder in an U20 League but I'd really like to see him put up a PPG+.
Would like to see that get up above for sure for him to stay in the conversation as a legitimate prospect, ideally he'd be in Liiga but that is pretty rare for an 18 year old.

Looks like Nathan Smith is either injured or didn't make Minnesota State's opening game roster.

He's got to get up in PPG rate before he gets promoted I think. Though you never know.

Yeah I didn't see him on the starting roster they tweeted. Hopefully its nothing major as he should be playing on that squad.

Meanwhile Blaisdell is centering North Dakota's top line and has his first NCAA assist 8 minutes into his game.

EDIT: is LW on the top line.
