His season just ended a few days ago, Give it time Yzerman will get him signed he said that he wants to sign with Detroit as soon as he can there's still like 4 and 1/2 months to go no worries yet.

originally you said mid April but changed it to mid August. Do you happen to have a link that says so? I would like to read up on it if possible.

College guys that can become free agents do so on August 15th traditionally, we talk about it with one or two guys every year. I could link it but most of the google stuff applies to old CBA agreements and individual stories like Blake Wheeler and Anders Lee. Justin Schultz is probably the most recent famous instance of this really upsetting people as the Ducks were peeved to be left at the alter and felt lied to with him saying he wanted to sign continuously.
We will see, it isn't a good sign that he hasn't signed yet, but maybe we are focused on the trade deadline and told him we would circle back mid-April. Petruzzelli holds all the cards now, part of the reason I kept saying I wanted to sign him and turn him pro after his junior year.
A lot of times to get one of these guys you agree to burn a year of service for him and give him a decent bonus to sign this year is usually a part of this. Hopefully Chris Ilitch can afford that these days...

I actually had that date committed to memory, but that's where I just went to verify. It's always been a late summer deadline for drafted college seniors to sign with their NHL teams though.

In some cases if they spend another year in the USHL or Minor Junior in Canada they can also use this as juniors. I believe Schultz did it as a Junior leaving Wisconsin. I don't remember if you have to have earned your degree or not in that scenario.

Just doesn't make much sense. Signing Petruzzelli wouldn't make any difference in what they do at the deadline. We're talking about the clear top goalie prospect in a system that's desperate for a promising young netminder, the front office probably wants him signed asap and getting some seasoning in GR. With a good showing he could be looking at a role on the Wings next year. It all adds up to the only logical conclusion that Petruzzelli isn't very interested in signing with Wings for whatever reason

Pretty sure i read somewhere that they can sign with their teams by Mid April but have up to Mid August at the latest but could be wrong.

it's already been mentioned 3 times that it's August 15th. It's on page 18 of the CBA.
Collective Bargaining Agreement
They can sign whenever they want to sign, they just lose their college eligibility so they usually don't until the season is over.

I have no idea what the hold up is for getting him signed. Sign him and send him to GR so he can practice with the team and maybe get in a game or 2 before the end of the season. Especially with Pickard in Detroit right now this is a good opportunity for him to see some AHL games.
Maybe they don't want to put pressure on him to go to GR and have to play? Maybe he's a bit dinged up? Maybe he just wants to focus on finishing his last year of college? Until there are some serious talk of him looking at his options and going elsewhere, I'm not going to worry about it.

Dunno if anyone posted this earlier, judging by the view count no.

I don't know what the academic calendar looks like at Quinnipiac, but he is a senior and presumably close to completing his degree. I wouldn't be surprised if he had things on that end to attend to before signing. I also don't know what AHL roster limits are looking like these days.
On a more general note, if he doesn't want to sign with us, he doesn't want to sign with us. It is not something we control at this point.

On a similar note... Andrew Shortridge, the starter at Quinnipiac during Petruzelli's freshman and soph. years finished up there in 18-19 with a season of 1.51GAA and .94 SV%. Then signed with the Sharks and got absolutely torched in the AHL last season.

I have scoured the web for news but it's like crickets out there. Anyone with inside info? I was really hoping he would be in goal at GR already so we could see what we have with him. I have very high hopes for this kid.
Strauss Mann announced he will be leaving Michigan to pursue pro opportunities. I do wonder if we might prefer someone like him over KP, and thus the delay.

Kinda doubt Detroit doesn't want to sign their best goalie prospect.
That is a fair assumption, but if they like someone like Mann, chances are you’re getting one or the other, but not both.

Both will have plenty of options I imagine. If so, I don’t think either guy would want to go some place where a young goalie is signing at the same time.
