Prospect Info: 2020 116th Overall Pick | D Eamon Powell

[Hockeyville USA]

We gonna get Powell signed or is he running out the clock to UFA? Or returning for a 5th (COVID) year?

Would like to get Powell signed, but feels like he's running out the clock to UFA if he hasn't been signed by now.

The Lightning will continue to hold onto his rights past August 15th since he has not left the NCAA, according to Chat GPT at least

At this point, with the NHL trending towards bigger defensemen, is Powell still considered a prospect by the Lightning? Generally, guys going back to school for fifth seasons aren't getting ELCs.

Powell wanted to stay for a fifth year.

Case McCarthy did the same with BU. Devils didn't sign him and he's on an AHL contract.

I haven't been following much, how has Powells progression been?

Solid, especially last season. Not sure if he's anything more than a AAAA type, but we said the same about Max Crozier and he looked better than that in a limited sample for us last season.

Powell just scored in the Beanpot for Boston College, we still have his rights, interested to see if we have any interest in signing him, we let him run out the clock to UFA, or trade his rights at the deadline.
