Confirmed with Link: Ty Ronning signs ELC with Rangers

[EpicDing]

Impressive stats in WHL this season, Will be fun to see what he becomes..

Looked at his twitter tho, seems to have a huge crush on Barzal?

I mean, who doesn't? I would kill to have him as a Ranger.

Congrats to Ronning!

Is Vancouver’s season over?

No. The ELC won't start until July 1st.

 

[Irishguy42]

I imagine he'll sign a PTO with the Wolf Pack once his season with the Giants ends.

 

[SML2]

Emerson Etem scored 61 goals in his age 19 season in the WHL so don't buy too much into the hype about his goal totals.

Yikes. It's been a long time since I saw a guy less interested in being a hockey player than that guy.

Yikes. It's been a long time since I saw a guy less interested in being a hockey player than that guy.

But remember, he wasn't given a fair shake here and the coach didn't utilize him properly.

 

[culex]

Was particularly obvious during the '16 draft that this would be one of, if not the best value pick of the draft. He fell because he's small. That's really it.

At worst, he's going to be a scoring threat in the AHL. Not bad for a 7th rounder.

I think he also had an injury riddled 2014-15 season. I think that, combined with his size, led him to dropping so much in the draft. That said, I'm a bit surprised no one else took the gamble on him - I know a lot of Canucks fans were hoping their team would do so. Either way, better for us! Super excited for the kid.

Islanders undercover spy CONFIRMED. NYR fanbase too woke to be fooled by amateurs such as this.

How many firsts can he garner for us?

Why? He has a contract.

 

[Irishguy42]

Why? He has a contract.

I mean, I'm assuming that his ELC doesn't take effect until July 1st, when the hockey calendar flips.

Obligatory "you must be fun at parties" response...

Not to be difficult, but wouldn't it be an ATO since he's coming from Juniors?

Would it?

Woop!!

You're about 3 hours late to the party.

 

[Nickmo82]

Good stuff. See what he can do in the AHL.

Why do I feel like I'm having a deja vu?

 

[GAGLine]

Why? He has a contract.

The contract doesn't start until July 1st. In order to play for Hartford before then (assuming they will have games left after Vancouver's season is over), Ronning would have to sign an ATO.

Here is what I found concerning the difference between an ATO and a PTO:

ATO, PTO What? A Primer on Hockey Contracts

ATO- this is an Amateur Try-Out agreement, and is for players who are coming in from college and have never played at the professional level. These type of contracts are common at the end of the season as many players try to break in to the pro leagues after the college or junior season is over. The ECHL, AHL and NHL all use ATOs.
PTO-this is a Professional Try-Out agreement and is only found in the AHL, it is very common for a player at the ECHL level to get a PTO with the AHL affiliate. There is a limit to the number of games played at 25 and a player can only sign two PTOs per season.

No one posted a thread on it so boo-hoo.

Good shit. Real long shot, but he's a guy I don't mind rewarding with a contract.

Etem was a first round pick... this guy was picked in the last round. If he amounts to anything at the NHL level that would be gravy.

 

[nyr2k2]

is that a painting of Pat Quinn behind him?

For those curious, Quinn played for and coached the Canucks and then owned the Giants. He has a legacy in the city.

Dude is absolutely lighting it up this season in the WHL. Glad to have him onboard going forward.

Yeah but I did become a bit skeptical when I saw that he only had like what 22 assists in 70 games this year, but it of course don’t tell the full story. But it’s still a little on the short side...
