Fabbro and Farabee have jumped the BU ship. Your move, Krys.

Powers is reporting that Krys has signed his ELC.

Yup.

 

[hawksfan50]

Dies this mean Hawks have to play Krys at least 1 game to burn a year off his ELC as the incentive to get him to leave?

I guess they could play him 1 shift and that gets the job done ? Surely they did not start the deal only beginning next season? If they did that I guess it means no signing bonus till July 1st ..

We should find out soon exactly what the details are ...but my guess is the 1st yr burn-off is coming sometime in the next 7 games remaining..but probably not immediately till he has at least a couple of practices in...Unless the plan is only for 1 shift to burn it off.

Quote from the article...

Krys’ contract will go into effect next season. He will join the Rockford IceHogs for the remainder of this season on an amateur tryout agreement.

Think Hawks do this with Mitchell re PTO

Same goes for Barratt. Very smart move by the Hawks.

[jls24]

The Hogs are going to be loaded for the playoffs if everyone signs.

 

[hawksfan50]

Saw in the dedicated thread to the Krys signing that ELC starts next season.
.relief we did not have to burn 1stvyr off...So Hogs get him for the duration of this season on his AHL try-out deal.

Meant to add a question mark to original post. Agree that at this point it would be smart if it preserves a year on ELC

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Give me all the players

Really looking forward to the developmental battles that are about to go down with our D prospects. Should be glorious. The cream always rises. The Hogs' D should be flippin' stacked, albeit inexperienced, next season.

 

[AmericanDream]

Krys has been one of the least talked about skilled players we have. I think he was every bit as good as Fabbro this season despite missing some time to injuries. He has a real good chance to crack our LD in 2 years, he is strong and quick on his skates and with his decision making. he will be a player, welcome aboard, feels like forever since we drafted him!!

They have to make the playoffs first, plus most teams are picking up similar prospects this time of year.

And I really don't like their chances unless Sikura goes back down and some of those young d-man step up. Don't think they have hang with some of the big boy AHL teams down there. Gonna be really close.

^At least D. Sykura can score in the AHL.

Sikura has been pretty good in the NHL the last couple weeks too. Won’t be long until he breaks through imo.

No our prospect but he has fallen hard. I kind of want to see if he could be had for cheap from the NYI. D prospect for a OW is what I am thinking.

Very interesting that Europe is a possibility.

Europe doesn't seem likely. I don't see why he wouldn't report to Bridgeport.

Because he is no where close to ready? BC was not a great situation but he was not good this year.

He's good enough to play in the AHL. School is the issue for him.

Explain his terrible production? Class performance means little to me. It is the fact that he couldn't produce.

Quit exaggerating. His production was not terrible in any way. Was it underwhelming for a top pick? Sure, but certainly not terrible.

School work is the biggest source of stress for teenagers. That affects mental health and can seriously impact his play on the ice.

People said the same about Tkachuk's college numbers. NCAA numbers are tricky and it's not like he wasn't producing at all, especially being a true Freshman. Still had solid number, even if less than expected for being a high pick.

Classroom struggles can seep into on-ice play, as well. Focus, getting in your own head, stress, etc. Could be any number of factors.

I see no reason he couldn't step into the AHL, personally.
