This is why you shouldn't listen to me,there's like 12 dudes I wanted to draft on that list
28 contracts. Time for Sweeney and Gold to get choppin' and horrify Moungenel with loads of fresh faces that aren't eligible for AARP benefits.
Have a look at Tyson Galloway for an AHL contract, with an eye for sending him to Portland. He could stay an overage year in the OHL, though, so who knows.
Justin Robidas is a midget and might require a real ELC. I'd certainly rather watch someone like him than Cousin Vinni (all respect, but he's probably passed his half life here). Robidas's Ramparts just savaged Kamloops last night in the Memorial Cup.
Cole Huckins should get a look if he'll sign an AHL deal. Big guys take time and all that.
I'd like to see them get Hache for Portland, as he seems like a good kid and he's from Manchvegas.
Gilmartin probably comes to nothing, but an AHL deal wouldn't be a huge risk.
Other guys are carrying the water for the Petes in the playoffs, but Connor Lockhart would certainly be worth an AHL deal, I'd think.
Dru Krebs is an interesting defenseman and I wouldn't be weeping to see him displace one of Providence's LDs.
ELC for
Torey Krug sorry, I mean Axel Bergqvist.
Edmonton's made a living around being wrong about Finns for a while now, so Patrick Puistola might be worth a shot with an ELC. Only be a 2 year deal anyway.
The Bruins haven't drafted a player like Jayden Grubbe in decades, it seems. If he never moves past Providence, it'd still be worthwhile ELC signing.
Ben Rogers was massively overdrafted by the Sens, but NeelyNugs liked him. There are things to like, despite what is probably a washout of an OHL career to date. DT would know more than any of us.
And give Ryan McCleary an ELC offer. My kingdom for goal scoring defensemen.
