Quite a few guys I wouldn’t mind my isles sighing.
Livingston is obviously the big fish.
I like McAllister and Graf
One guy that has intrigued me for a few years is Jaxson Nelson. He was a prolific scorer in High school and one of the top all time Minnesota high school goal scorers. Hasn’t lit up the score sheet but he’s been a good college player and has great size.

I don't think so because he turned 20 in September. I think the rule is if a North American player turns 20 after December 31st, they can be drafted, otherwise they can sign as a FA

By definition shouldn't this thread be in the Trades and Free Agents Forum?
There is a similar thread there.
There is a similar thread there.
That is a decision beyond my pay grade, but they are all prospects, so I'd guess it should be part of prospect forum.

Makes sense too. Since they can no longer be drafted I see them as "free agents".
Not a big deal and it's been here a couple years now.

Technically they can, but if they have announced they are returning to school (or transferring) it is usually a pretty good indication they won't be signing a pro contract this Spring/Summer.

appears you're right and he's got one more year left to get drafted, so he will likely be taken somewhere

Mitchell Gibson technically hasn't signed yet. He signed an ATO over the weekend, but not his ELC. Though, that has been reported by multiple outlets including the Caps themselves to be happening soon.
(The Caps didn't have enough salary cap space to recall a goalie from the AHL, and they haven't for a while, and may not through the end of the season. So, they may be holding off on the ELC specifically to use him as a 'free' 3rd goalie for the rest of the season. Bit of hijinks with the cap.)
