Only if he signs an AHL deal/PTO.
If he signs an ELC that kicks in this year, then he can only be in the NHL.

"Bergs" was swayed by his physique. "Bergs" was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He will get a opportunity before them but he not beating out Matheson, Guhle or Xhekaj… and the second Hutson come in not sure that Struble get the same shot…
I’m all for signing him, but I don’t see why he would since the outlook isn’t great, since is best odd would be beating out someone on the right side which isn’t likely in the next 2 seasons.

The same thing was said about Harris last year. That he had no reason to sign because Edmundson and Romanov were there. Then there were Guhle and Xhekaj who would be turning pro the following year, Norlinder would be coming over from Europe when his season would be over, and Schueneman & Fairbrother in Laval, Trudeau in Junior. That there was going to be a logjam at LD. So Harris would rather avoid being lost in that shuffle.
But Harris still ended up signing. What happened after? Romanov was traded so there's one obstacle out of his way. And then Edmundson was hurt. So there was the opening that he took advantage of (so did Guhle & Xhekaj).
Same idea with Struble.

Anything can happen but we are a lot better a LD than when Harris sign. There was Romanov and Edmundson vs. Matheson, Guhle, Xhekaj, Harris and Edmundson, all under 30yo, all NHL proven 3 under 23yo and all except Edmundson are under contract and Harris is likely to get lost in the shuffle after all…

Signing Struble is a no brainer.
He is a good prospect and that is all that matters. Give him a chance to grow in Laval and improve his stock, if there isn't a roster spot he could become a decent trade chip in an effort to fill out thinner positions in the organization.

unless they put him at RD this year, he's almost never played RD at Northeastern.
It's not based off that, they use the pairwise and NU is tied with UNH and UNO at 19th OA. They have no shot as think of it as the top 15 teams get in, despite there being 16 teams as the Atlantic conference winner gets the auto bid but because their teams aren't any good compared to the other conferences, they are almost never any teams from that conference ranked in the top 20.
So you get your top 15 teams plus whoever wins the Atlantic. Now this year the one odd one that could make things a bit complicated and when it comes to pairwise, shit is usually complicated, but Koberstein's former team Alaska are ranked 15th in the pairwise in what is shocking as they are usually among the worst teams in the NCAA. So that could open a spot though but you have Michigan St, North Dakota and Notre Dame all in front of NU who still would also need to beat out UNH and UNO.

I honestly don't understand why so many of these NCAA guys sign with their drafting team. You'd think more of them would end up pursuing better opportunities? What are the odds that their best option is their drafting team?

You mention better opportunities, where does a player have a better opportunity than with the team that drafted them? For one, it's their best shot at becoming an NHL player?
The team invested in you, keeping contact, having the Player Development coaches stay in touch with you and come see you. You go to Development Camps and form friendships and bonds with players and personnel.

And they can also burn a year like harris did instead of delaying arbitration and free agency if they go to another team. That here means faster top $$$$ especially if player successful
The plan is simple. He has a close link with Hughes, so the confidence is there, that's the starting point, then offer him to burn his first year of ELC, and promise him it will be a two years thing in which either he makes the big team, or Habs will agree to trade him in agreement with him.

Most likely It because they are able to burn a year of ELC by sign with the team that drafted them, all the teams are offering the exact same amount of money and there probably a bit of loyalty to the team that draft you not sure if there is any additional advantage for the team that draft. But yes it is strange that it doesn’t happen more often especially from player complete there 4 years, when your trying to cash as soon as possible signing with your team make sense but after 4 years you just need to wait like 20-30 days to be a UFA…

It’s been his profil picture for a couple of months.Pretty sure he just changed his profile pic on Instagram
He updated his bio to ‘’MTL, no worries’’ some time last season after he did an interview and he got asked if he would sign with the habs.

Struble likely isn't ready for the NHL and needs more seasoning, so why would it matter where he signs? He's going to need to develop more and the Habs have a good skill coach now and prioritize development. I think that'll be Hughes' play in trying to sign him, and offering to trade him to a good place for him if we don't have room in the long run.
