Contract confirmation for Andrei Bakanov

Andrei Bakanov, F : 3 goals, 2 PIMs, 1 GWG, hat trick

Bakanov was responsible for two of the biggest highlights of the entire (Traverse City) tournament. He scored on a penalty shot, then completed a hat trick in a lopsided win over Toronto. Bakanov is signed to an AHL contract with the Springfield Thunderbirds, but his goal-scoring display against the Maple Leafs can surely help put him on the map.

Blues get several standout performances in Traverse CIty | St. Louis Blues

Despite 1-2 record, several prospects make their mark in annual tournament

Stars sign goaltender Matt Murray to a one-year entry level contract | Dallas Stars

The 24-year-old netminder has appeared in five games this season for the Texas Stars, posting a 2-2-0 record, including one shutout

www.nhl.com

Upgraded contract

 

[Booba]

Big boost for Belleville


Dube registered a goal and an assist in 3 games this season.

 

[Booba]

This will be Cassels' 3rd stint with the B-Sens. The 27 year-old forward started the season in Europe where he registered 2 assists in 13 games in the Swedish 2nd division (Allsvenskan).

Chicago had to sign its 5th stringer after losing three goaltenders to injuries (Alex Stalock, Petr Mrazek and Jaxson Stauber). Interestingly, Wells who started the year with the Indy Fuel, can now theorically refuse an ECHL assignement, because this is his 2nd NHL contract.

Trickle effect from the injuries in Chicago.

 

[Booba]

Another goaltender getting a NHL promotion!

Bratt played 3 games for Adirondack (ECHL). No reason was given for this contract termination.

[LadyStanley]

Ah. Comeback.

 

[Booba]

Another Comeback attempt!

With 50 players currently under contract, the Flyers don't have any room to sign Anisimov for now.

After playing 43 games with the Phantoms in 2021-2022, Saulnier has been limited to 2 ECHL games this season. He shoud get a larger role with the Senators.

1 point in 7 ECHL games thsi season for the Norwegian defender.

Hamilton will join Traktor Chelyabinsk. Hamilton registered 3 games in 12 games with the Eagles


Hanus played 2 games with Wheeling this season.


Kasastul was under contract with Ontario and briefly played in the ECHL. The Norwegian defender returns to the team with whom he spent the majority of his pro career.

UFA update

Lappin played last season for Lehigh Valley. He originally signed with an Austrian team but got injured during the offseason.

The Newfoundland Growlers are proud to announce that former Kelly Cup champion and St. John’s native Marcus Power has joined the Growlers front office as the newest member of Deacon Sports and Entertainment’s accounting and finance team. While complications from injuries prevented him from continuing his professional career on the ice, the 2018 graduate of the University of Prince Edward Island is excited to put his Finance degree to good use.

Power was under contract with the Marlies last season but spent the entire season in St.John's.

 

[Mike Jones]

Hamilton will join Traktor Chelyabinsk. Hamilton registered 3 games in 12 games with the Eagles

Signing a KHL contract now?

Weird decision and not a good idea.
