Why sign him to a contract now!
We have 2 years to sign him to a contract after drafting him this year.
If we sign him to a NHL contract now…. that’s minimum 3 year commitment of $240k. 3 years of $80 k minor league salary ( that’s without any signing bonus$
He’s coming into TC to earn a contract.
The contract he earns may only be a 1 year $80k AHL deal.
Goalies are voodoo
Drafting him in the 5 th round this year was just a throw of the dart /a dark horse pick / an opportunity for him.
We may cut bait and let him loose after TC
This is not Charity…. Let’s see what the kid can do against men. (He’s only 6 ft goalie…. His size may limit his ceiling.)
