It can be anytime. I would expect ATO following theit seasons so they can be evaluated in Amerks practices / games and an ELC around prospect campIn the summer time, rookie camp or the following year when rights expire? No clue the timing on this stuff

But the ones from CHL are only 2 years?
Not sure if this was discussed earlier, but I've been wondering if any of the three late round D-men taken in 2018 -- Cronholm, Kukkonen, or Worge-Kreu, have shown enough to get a conract this summer. Their stats aren't impressive, but info has been hard to find on their development. I was hoping they'd hit on at least one of these guys. Not sure they did.
When do you think they offer Bloom, Kozak and Nadeau contracts ? If they can’t play in the AHL and they aren’t ready for NHL then why not sign next year
Bloom/Kozak/Nadeau can all be signed and sent back to their current leagues as slides. None of them can play in AHL next season.
Marjala looks like he won't be offered a contract next year and we have enough left shot wings in the system as it is so not big deal for a late round pick. With last years draft the big questions will be if Rosen will ever be an impact wing (he will be under the radar with all the studs in our stable and at some point will be like found money) and if any of the Russians will cross over. In hindsight I wish we made some safer picks. Rosen and Poltapov were both high risk/reward and then we triple down with Kisakov. But all the other picks were really solid.
I might be wrong but I think Kozak can play in the AHL next year as he is an ‘02. Not that the AHL is the right spot for him, but he would be an overage player in Junior next year.
on March 12th we may get the battle for who gets offered a contract first.

I’m the one confused. I was trying to be too clever and didn’t realize that’s just the Big 10 tourney.I'm not sure I follow. Michigan and Minnesota are both heading to the NCAA tourney after this anyways, and they wouldn't play each other in the semifinal round anyways since there's reseeding and they are seeds 1 and 2.
That is a really messed up bracket, you'd figure 2 and 3 on one side with 4 potentially moving on to face the 1 in the other out of hope for 1 vs 2 for the championship
