Apologies if any of these guys have been signed already and I missed.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Hershey guys I assume. Won’t claim to know anything about either of them.

Both are non vets. Philip hit 29 goals two seasons ago and missed the majority of last year due to injury.

Philip is your 2C

 

[MFHOOD]

Holy crap this Hockey off-season draft stuff is insane to try and keep up with. Not even sure how to feel right now except sad Huntington and Snively are gone

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Osipov and McDonald re-signed

 

[DWGie26]

Hershey starting to come together now. Osipov played a lot of games before Hershey so I like keeping him even if he is a 4/5 LD option. He seems well liked in the room as well. Sad to see Huntington go but Center is a tough path in WAS right now for a guy like that so not surprised. Same with Snively. Have to check out new guys.

 

[hb13xchamps]

Sutter and HHA signed to one year deals. Only RFA left is Limoges. I’d hope they would add another LHD and some depth pieces and call it a day

Maybe they sign some of their '21 d-man draft picks (Brent Johnson and Joaquim Lemay) and give them an opportunity at Hershey.

I think that time may have run out on Lucas Johansen. With Malenstyn's departure that just leaves Priskie from the 2016 draft class.

That’s a possibility. I would take LuJo back if they don’t add any other vets. He hit vet status last season so that hinders him a bit. He’s still a very good player at the AHL level. I’m fully expecting him to move on though. I’m assuming he wants a fresh start elsewhere

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Roe re-signed to a one-year deal.

 

[hb13xchamps]

Roe is the last veteran spot. He can play 3C full time and Rybinski could slide to wing. Roe seems like a great guy to have around the kids coming up through Hershey and he had a great run throughout the playoffs last year. Hershey should be in the conversation for a 3 peat if everything goes well injury wise this year. I will say their division took notice and a lot of those team added pieces and got better. It will be an even harder task this season

 

[Holtbyisms]

I'm a little surprised HHA signed, I was worried he'd go back to Europe. Pumped about Roesy coming back too! I thought he'd go out a champion.

 

[Random schmoe]

Looks like HHA's AHL salary is $350K. Per this site of unknown validity most players in the SHL - where Aktell last played - earn 80,000- 300,000+ Euro.

$350K USD is 324,639 Euro at the moment.

[Ridley Simon]

Bringing back most of the band.

 

[marcel snapshot]

The hockey path is a grind and a game of opportunities. That said, Snively (whom I love given my connection to Little Caps) just couldn’t find a path here. I think he had opportunities but just couldn’t get there. Same as AJF, Leason, etc. There will be more to come as well.

It’s why being partners with the Bears is so fruitful (to both sides). They have won 13 championships with 2 sets of b2b with Caps. They get good talent. Talent pushes talent. And only the best make it to the caps. Others can find another path. This is what i was talking about in a previous post where pathing players is good for the culture and brand.

Apart from seeing Lappy and Miro take huge steps in pressure situations - Lappy especially, he seemed to be in on most every "the Bears need a goal here" goals during this run - the other great thing about this year's run was seeing Limo, Snively, and Roe play such important roles, since all 3 started out playing their youth hockey in this area.

 

[MFHOOD]

LEIVERMANN!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MFHOOD]

Wow, we really did get most of the band back together and it's great to see people here are so positive about it the three peat contention is even being talked about! LETS GO BEARS

 

[NoVaCapsFan]

So happy about the Leiverman signing. That dude earned it! Stepped up big time
