Yeah, his production is very underwhelming. I'm guessing the combination of size and skating is what people are seeing. If he can figure it out, he could be a good player.

I would be fine with Petrovski for generally the same reasons you stated. I would also be fine with signing one guy like him each year; i.e. your 18-year-old undrafted camp players.
The practice of signing guys in that position, though, I wouldn't make it a major piece of my prospect acquisition strategy. The contract may not count up front, but it does count eventually, and then you're most likely stuck with a bunch of crappy guys that maybe fill out your ECHL team. There's so much unknown with these players and that I think is one reason you don't see a ton of guys being signed under these circumstances. Also the CHL leagues, particularly the OHL and WHL, are so heavily scouted, it's really rare for a guy from those leagues to slip through the cracks. If he isn't drafted there's usually a good reason.
I think the better bet is signing the traditional UDFA players particularly from the NCAA ranks or Europe. You lose the benefit of the contract sliding but gain those extra years of development and some additional "certainty" about what a guy is or isn't.

Yeah, but Petrovski is the first guy that qualifies for these parameters that we've had in our prospect camp in years.
He's more an exception. I wouldn't sign guys this way every year.
McNamara not on training camp roster. Petrovski is.

I came here to post that. Petrovski making the cut is nice.

He was struggling but the kid turned 18 just a few weeks ago. By far the youngest player on the ice in those games.
He's by no means a guy you should expect to become a top-pair D-man in the NHL but if he can develop into a solid 3rd pair D-man, that's huge.
Also, I just want the Rangers to sign an 18-year old UDFA because it's so rare and it would be a fun topic to discuss

Rasmus Larsson made his regular season debut today in a 4-1 win. He was -1 with 2 SOG. Green Bay has another game tomorrow at 12:30 Eastern.
Tarnstrom was scoreless, -1, with 2 SOG and played 11 minutes in his debut for Brynas in Allsvenskan.
Rasmus Larsson was the story today: he had the primary assist on the game-tying goal for Green Bay with just over a minute to go, and then had the OT winner to boot. He finished 1+1, led all defensemen in the game with 5 SOG, and led all players with a +4. He played on the top pair with Avs pick Chris Romaine. Apparently, he goes by Moose:

Actually, coincidentally, Mike Mussina won the door prize at the local flea market. A pair of new Nike sneakers!

We might have found a real diamond in the rough with Larsson. There are a lot of indications that he's turned into a beauty of a late bloomer pick; I'm not even sure how to gauge his potential at this point.
Trading the rights to Jayden Grubbe may turn out to be a brilliancy by Drury.

The Jimmy Vesey trade tree is growing
Henricks had a PP assist, 4 PIM, 2 SOG, and was -1.
Pajuniemi was scoreless with 2 SOG.
Vaisanen had a goal, giving him 2-1-3 in 5 games.
Pajuniemi was scoreless with 2 SOG.

I wonder what happened with Simon Kjellberg. He was set to play his final year at Northern Michigan and then disappeared from the roster without a peep. His brother, Joel, was also committed to NMU for 24-25, and it looks like he may have decommitted.
Larsson had 2 A and 1 SOG.
Henricks had 2 SOG, 2 PIM, and was -1.
BMB had an assist and was +1.
Roobroeck had a goal and was -1, and went 16/27 on draws.

He's a center. I haven't watched enough of him to know if he ever plays wing.
I'm a fan of Edstrom. Not so much Rempe but a lot of others like him. I don't have an opinion on Roobroeck yet but he's intriguing.
