Signs not re-signs I think.

Signs not re-signs I think.

It’s “re-sign”.

 

[Silky Johnson]

It’s “re-sign”.

I stand corrected. For some reason I forgot we traded him and thought we just didn't qualify him.

 

[Laphroaig]

Quality person. I'll always cheer for him.

It’s “re-sign”.

I think in fact it is signs!!!!!

To re- any thing that person would first have to done it once b4. (Re- being short for repeat)

He was just traded to Utah and has never signed a contract before with Utah.

So…..Egor signed a new contract with Utah!

Go Egor! Don't think he'll make it to the nhl, but will be a great player for the ahl.

He never signed with Utah before, it's signs

Little Utah kids are asking their parents for "Utah Hockey Club" jerseys for Christmas and birthdays. It might be a disappointment if its ultimately a Utah Yeti (or whatever) jersey.

I think he could carve out a role in Utah if given a proper chance. He's tough to get off the puck, good on the cycle and can shoot a puck.

Remains to be seen if he can be a regular but he has a shot.

 

[NyQuil]

Very popular prospect in Ottawa due to his positive attitude and stories regarding living with his billet family as a teenager.

Fans really wanted him to make the team - he has good offensive instincts and shot, he just lacks NHL speed. Not sure he'll ever overcome that hump but hopefully he'll get a chance in a new situation.

Re-Signs? When did he become a Coyote/Utah-er?

So I think you'd say that Ottawa technically traded his RFA rights as he would have been not under contract to make it a "re-signing", but since he wasn't a renounced RFA (Unqualified, bought out, waived for purposes of termination, etc.) maybe you say re-sign to denote he signed with the team that had exclusive negotiating rights (absent offer sheet if he was even eligible, RIP CapFriendly)

I hope he makes Staios regret trading him. He has everything needed except skating. Unfortunately, it may be his downfall but I hope it's not.
