So I think these are the only outstanding tryouts after today's final rosters
Tyler Johnson | Boston Bruins |
Travis Dermott | Edmonton Oilers |
Andy Welinski | New Jersey Devils |
Jakub Zboril | New Jersey Devils |
Artyom Kudashov | New York Islanders |
Matt Martin | New York Islanders |
Kyle Clifford | Toronto Maple Leafs |
Johnson looked like he was headed towards a contract, but then no news today.
Dermott was in a similar boat, with the coach even praising him just today. SIGNED October 8
Possible they will continue to stick around on a PTO until the timing is right, and then sign.
Devils fans, help me out. I can't find any news on Welinski or Zboril - surely I must have missed something obvious???
Islanders
suck at sharing any sort of news (thanks, Lou) and I had to get most of their information from scouring beat reporters and Bridgeport transactions, but I can't find any news on Kudashov. Martin was realistically never going to get a contract - just a favour from Lou, so I imagine this PTO is complete, but again, Islanders suck at reporting.
The Leafs somehow are maybe even worse at reporting. Like, this off-season has been shit. Hasn't been that way the past few years, but this year they shared very little. That said, we know enough about Clifford. He is on an AHL deal and was a very, very long shot to get a contract from the jump, but is really only floating around because he got injured. Once due diligence has been done he will be released from his PTO and report to the Marlies (though I guarantee the Leafs won't say jack about it)
