Wait so the London player was suspended for his comment but not the Saginaw player for the threat?
Well yea. One hurt a guy's feelings (or rather it hurt people's feelings on his behalf), the other is just a threat of bodily damage. One you can heal from, the other..Wait so the London player was suspended for his comment but not the Saginaw player for the threat?
I've never seen anything like this series. Not outside of international play, anyway. These were the 2 best teams in the OHL and it wasn't even close. London outscored them 31-9 in 4 games. Oshawa had a slim hope in game 3 when they were up 6-2 after 2 periods, but London tied it in the 3rd and won it in OT.London completes the sweep with a 7-1 win (what a f***ing thrashing this series was.) Roobroeck with an assist on the lone goal.
Get him to Hartford!
I wouldn't be too sure. They inserted Barker for games 3 and 4 of the Providence series. He was assigned to Hartford on April 29th and played his first game on May 8th.They aren't throwing Roobroeck onto the Pack at this point of their playoffs.
i know the wings tried this, but id love to see roobroeck edstrom rempe hartford line next yearEven if Roobroceck doesn't get into games, it probably isn't a bad idea to have him down there skating with the guys and getting acclimated with where he's most likely going to be playing next year.
I would think so. I can't see him going back for an overage year, but even if he does, they will likely sign him, bring him to camp, then send him to Hartford's camp before they make that decision.Still expecting Roobroeck to sign a ELC within the next few weeks (months?)

also, I won't be surprised if Roobroeck signs an ATO ~Monday,I would think so. I can't see him going back for an overage year, but even if he does, they will likely sign him, bring him to camp, then send him to Hartford's camp before they make that decision.
Oliver Tarnstrom signed a two-year contract with AIK in Sweden. That's where his dad played before and after his NHL stint.
It's not official confirmation, but if he was anticipating an ELC being offered he wouldn't sign that deal. So, come June 1, he's gone.
Since he was evidently out of contract I didn't think the provision would apply to him. If he signed the (hypothetical) ELC and didn't make the NHL club, who would the Rangers offer him to return to if he wasn't under contract in Sweden? I know they recently moved the age up in that part of the agreement but my understanding, in my head at least, was that it applies to players who were still under contract to their club.The expectation has been that he won't get an ELC for quite some time, but him signing with AIK isn't really an indicator, to be honest.
This happens from time to time with players in Europe and with the transfer agreement being amended recently, he wouldn't be AHL eligible for the first ELC year anyway if he signed, and then go back to AIK, the same thing we saw with Sýkora, Henriksson and Edström in recent years.

Edstrom and Henriksson extended with their Swedish clubs a full year before they signed their ELCs. Sykora was so young when he signed the ELC he didn't need to sign an extension.
Right, and that's what I'm saying. If the Rangers had signaled that an ELC was incoming (they only have a couple more weeks) he could have waited knowing that an AHL assignment was in his future given that he's presumably not currently encumbered by any NHL-SHA agreement. Now, the Rangers don't normally take it down to the wire with ELCs so it's highly likely that one wasn't coming anyway, for obvious reasons, but electing to sign in Sweden with the hometown club right before the ELC deadline just looks to me like the final nail in the coffin. He's "going home" as AIK put it.The provision is that the player is under contract for the following season. If he signs his ELC after he signed this contract, AIK gets him back for next season (unless he makes the NHL roster) and the following year it's AIK that gets the transfer fee, not Brynäs IF.
But this is all hypothetical.
i had mild hopes they might swap his rights for those of another org's "unlikely to sign", such as Sabres' Mats Lindgren, NYR have more need at D than up front ...... I think it's pretty clear Tarnstrom is about done in this organization.
How much scoring potential do Roobroeck and Edstrom have compared to Rempe?
I’m glad that everyone that should be signed was, with the exception of Laba. Looking like a nice drafted prospect group in Hartford next season.
Bugs me too. Having him in Hartford next season would be better for his development. Seems like his game is a good fit at the pro levelYeah Laba not signing bugs me. I don’t see any benefit for him going back to CC for another year short of making a run at a championship but I don’t know how realistic that is.
The decision could be education-based, something to fall back on if hockey doesn't work out.Yeah Laba not signing bugs me. I don’t see any benefit for him going back to CC for another year short of making a run at a championship but I don’t know how realistic that is.
