Of course, I agree 100%
Maybe I should have been more clear maybe, Isn't Jonny Tychonick not part of our organization anymore? I could be wrong obviously

And, as others have pointed out, Novak & Tychonick have no affiliation with the organization whatsoever and we have no rights to them. The rest of the list are in Europe (Abramov) or on 2-way deals, almost certainly to spend the bulk of the season in the AHL (Pilon, Heatherington, Chartier, Highmore, Larsson, Imama, Currie)

The Senators technically still own Novak and Tychonick's rights. Not exactly sure why but I think it's because they signed AHL contracts for 23-24 prior to becoming UFA's, so it seems like the league now considers them defected players or something. Very strange state of affairs, especially considering that Novak will be playing for the Habs in the upcoming rookie tournament.

Hoping Boucher can put together a good healthy stretch of games. Got to be hard being injured all the time.

Okay, so unlikely that this move was to make room for new contracts, yeah?

I'm really excited to see him. I really like his game, even if i dont know if it will translate.
He's pretty smart. He skates pretty well. Good size. His shot is good. I think he's got the motor and the brains.
He just doesn't seem that skilled.
I'd love to hear from our 67s fans on this board what they think of him....

No contract was traded, was just a formality because of the strange Covid holdovers for some NCAA guys creating rights issues.

Issue is the Laval Rocket (AHL) signed Novak to a 2023-24 AHL contract on July 3rd—before the Sens NHL draft rights for Novak were scheduled to expire on August 15th. Once that happened Ottawa’s NHL draft rights to Novak were extended indefinitely.

Yup, they never expired when they were supposed to, 2022, because he was gifted another season in the NCAA that held his eligibility rights for an extra full year.
Team and Novak, (and Tychonik) knew after the 21-22 season they weren’t signing, they were just playing out an extra year of eligibility looking to create a contract somewhere, and they both found them in other orgs development leagues.
