We have some decisions to be made in the coming months about which prospects we are going to sign or lose their rights.
1st June
Carey Terrance
Konnor Smith
Vojtech Port
15th Aug
William Francis
Ian Moore
Will be interesting to see who we keep.
I'd be quite surprised if we don't sign Terrance, a lot of good pro qualities there.
Smith - I wouldn't be shocked if we signed but I don't see it, still too raw as an overage in junior. Could maybe do an AHL/ECHL deal and try to develop him as an enforcer, maybe move to forward like Des did.
I'm surprised Port doesn't put up more points in the WHL, watching in the WJC he looks to have a ton of puck savvy. RHD with decent size, he looks worthy of signing.
Hopefully his medical situation gives Francis further NCAA eligibility if that's his intent. I don't want to speculate on that one otherwise.
Moore is the most intriguing storyline here. People have pointed to other recent prospects like Thrun and Lacombe as evidence of why he will or won't sign, but that's really not how it works. Moore and his camp will make their own decision about where they see him fitting in, and what's best for his development. What others chose previously really isn't relevant.
