Riese Gaber from UND. Kid's a player. Kind of like a Rocco Grimaldi in a way. Think he should garner interest easily. Any word on McBain/Smith btw? Highly doubt they'll sign in ARI but who knows.
McBain signed today, don't think Arizona would have done the trade without talking to him first (then again Buffalo gave up a pick without assurances from Jimmy Vesey way back when).
Word was that Gaber was expected to return for his junior year.
That's shocking to me. Wonder why ARI when he would've had better options.
Have there been any rumours with regards to Ben Meyers? I don't know why but I just picture him on the Rangers.

Attard was not eligible to be a FA this summer, and he signed with Philly.
I believe the only reason Wheeler and Schultz were able to go that route was because they each played a season in the USHL and BCHL respectively, after being drafted.Technically Attard could have opted to leave school (without graduating) and then Philadelphia would have had 30 days to sign him. Blake Wheeler and Justin Schultz went that route as juniors. But as you said, Attard signed with the Flyers so cross him off the list.

Correct. Different situation.I believe the only reason Wheeler and Schultz were able to go that route was because they each played a season in the USHL and BCHL respectively, after being drafted.
