Well, they can't exactly sign with any other team, CHLers just re-enter the draft. See: Conner Bleackley, Glen Gawdin, Adam Mascherin.

Right. But was this because he wasn't offered an elc or because he refused to sign one? He didn't become ufa as Schultz did, he was required to enter the draft again, correct?
And in the case of college players, after 4 years they can decide not to sign and become ufa. I don't think the CHL players have the same option..

Go Habs Go
yes, but it doesn't apply for Poehling or any of our NCAA picks including the 3 we just drafted. (well it would have with Hawkey and Koberstein but they didn't use the loophole so it closed)
So there's 2 things here.
1. The NCAA loophole - That is only for players drafted by an NHL team that are slated to go to the NCAA but after being drafted they don't go directly to the NCAA. If this happens, then after their Junior year they can inform their NHL team that they are going to opt out and become a UFA on July 1st.
2. They can refuse to sign after their 4 years in the NCAA is over. If so they become UFA's on August 15th.
perhaps, maybe not as good defensively, I'd have to think about that one some more.
Not all will, it depends on age. Take Fleury as an example, if for some reason the Habs opted not to sign him, then he plays in the dub again next season. If he says I want to play for the Canes with my brother, he can refuse to sign by next June 1st's deadline but he'll be too old to go back into the draft (unless they changed the rules on me lately as that's how it was but we rarely see it happen)

I'm pretty sure NCAA guys don't attend camp no? Unless we sign him to a pro contract.

I really hope that he doesn't play in the NHL next year.
Regardless of when he joins the pros, he should get a full season in the AHL. Give him what the opportunities that they never gave Lars Eller, Louis Leblanc, and Michael McCarron -- the opportunity to play 20+ or even 22+ minutes a game in all situations (PP, PK, 5on5, 4on4, 6v5, 5v6, etc) with good complementary wingers for a full season.

I want him to play in the ahl, but he's talent reeks of a julien type of guy. i'm excited, but hopeful we wait a couple years.
I sincerely hope they don't do that, and that they let him develop nicely in the NCAA. Same for Kotka.
Molson's greediness and Bergevin's foolishness needs to be reined in.
Unless they saw the light this offseason, who knows...

Ideally, both Kotka and him turn pro next season and whoever has the best camp or is performing better by Christmas time gets the call-up.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
No one said he had no skills just that he doesn't have the ability to score from distance which automatically limits your upside offensively unless you are a passer as gifted as Thornton or Backstrom and Poehling is definitely not that gifted a passer.
If he continues his trend he will be a 2nd line C which is great and needed.

You're right because he's currently a NHL 2nd line C?

He probably won't be at camp I'm assuming, I don't think NCAA guys are allowed to attend
Did Poehling sign a contract or something?
