Prospect Info: Matthew Wood - RW | 15th Overall | 2023 NHL Draft
- Thread starter Scoresberg
- Start date
No. He can only play in nhl this season. College draft picks like Wood can sign ELC starting following season and then play in AHL on ATO but NOT NHL or they can sign ELC starting current season like he did but then are NOT able to play in AHL (until following season).

We have 14 forwards on the roster including wood, sissons, and marchy. With sissons and marchy out, that drops us down to 12. It doesn't mean we don't do something stupid like run 7 dmen when our 6 and 7 dmen would be Oesterle and englund but it does lend the possibility that Wood gets a full 6 mins of TOI tonight

Check the GDT. Hes not even with the team yet. He's Canadian so work visa stuff plus winding down/withdrawing from college...

These things have been taking a looooong time lately. Was it Pelletier or somebody recently, it was over a week? Our season might be finished before he gets that Visa.

Sure hope he doesn’t have any tattoos or he may end up in El Salvador tooThese things have been taking a looooong time lately. Was it Pelletier or somebody recently, it was over a week? Our season might be finished before he gets that Visa.
Man, I sure hope he gets to play some games during the rest of the season. Team is damn near unwatchable at the moment with guys like McCarron and Smith getting 17 MINUTES a night.
Wait he was playing in the us already so he has a current Visa, correct? My American FM in Canada doesn't need a new Visa to go to a different city.

Guessing it's a "work Visa" vs. "student Visa" kind of thing?

Don't get paid for NCAA so I don't think you need a work visa for that. I may be wrong though.
Nevermind, I asked him, he would, F1 v P1 visas might even require he leave the US and then come back.

Yeah he would go from a student visa to a work visa which has different parameters for being issued. I believe it also requires some from of identification for tax purposes to be created as well.

"Playing" is a relative term here since he is taking rushes with our 4th line pylons Michael McCarron and Cole Smith. The season is over, this team is toast. So of course this brilliant coaching staff decides to put one of our best prospects in literally the worst position to succeed.

Is this the icing on the cake for this season? They must think, these guys play the right way, let's put him with them. Hell, let him center Stamkos and Forsberg and see what happens. Can't be any worse than scoring 1 goal a night as a team and expecting to win that way."Playing" is a relative term here since he is taking rushes with our 4th line pylons Michael McCarron and Cole Smith.

That would be what you'd do if you wanted to get an honest look at him.
I suspect that our brain trust will just be teeing him up to get rid of him though. I mean, that's what we do.
