So Rahimi remains in Sweden for a bi longer?

Also, I have a question about that roster freeze. If Nonis is indeed planning to send Rahimi to the Moose once his season in Sweden is over... do they have to put Rahimi in the roster now cause of that AHL roster freeze thing? (/me doesn't understand the whole deal with that)

Is this roster freeze pushed forward or something because every year AHL teams sign Junior players once their season or playoffs over to PTO. That's how Coloumbe, Rypien were found.

PTO's are different than ATO's. Like toxic said earlier junior players can sign to an ATO (amateur tryout) after the clear day list is submitted but other professional players cannot sign (PTO). Just to clear that up.

From the moose boards:
"Teams may also add signed junior players or players on amateur tryout contracts after Clear Day, but only once their respective junior or college seasons are complete."

So that 20-year old AHL rule doesn't apply to Euros? Does Simek even have an entry level yet?

The only reason you may think it doesn't apply to Euro's is because no junior team has their rights. Tecniqually, if no one owned Bourdon's junior rights, he would be on the moose right now. A lot of Euro's do have junior rights though, through the CHL import draft (that's how Grabner has a junior team). Hope that clears things up a bit.

GRABNER'S HAT COLLECTION
3/1/2007


Michael Grabner added to his hat collection on Wednesday night with three more goals, giving the 19-year-old three hat tricks in his last six outings and seven career. Wednesday’s trick was turned on the 28th day of February, giving the 19-year-old 15 goals in 13 games during the month. To put it into perspective, Grabner was tied for the team lead, and not even sniffing the league lead, with 24 goals at the start of the month. Now, his hot streak has put him one behind Brandon’s Mark Derlago for the league lead and gives him a 12 goal cushion for the team lead.

Grabner is one goal from cracking 40 for the first time in his three year career, a feat last accomplished by Greg Leeb who had 46 in 1997-98. The Villach, Austria native’s 39 goals are the most by a Chief since Daniel Bohac scored 39 in 1999-2000.

With each goal, Grabner will move up the Chiefs franchise list for career goals. His 88 are 19th all-time and just 10 goals separate the next five on the list. Of the players above him only five of them spent a majority of their careers in the Spokane Arena:

Greg Leeb – 127 goals
Trent Whitfield – 114 goals
Tim Krymusa – 104 goals
Brandin Cote – 101 goals
Chad Klassen – 96 goals s

Two of the above players played four seasons (Leeb and Whitfield) and three of them five years (Krymusa, Cote and Klassen).

Only five players ahead of Grabner on the franchise’s all-time list played fewer than 200 games:

Valeri Bure – 135 goals in 178 games
Ryan Duthie – 106 goals in 198 games
Maxim Bets – 95 goals in 117 games
Rob Friesen – 92 goals in 187 games
Brent Gilchrist – 90 goals in 98 games

Grabner has 88 goals in 176 games with seven remaining this season.

Thanks to a torrid stretch in the second half last year, Grabner finished the season with 36 goals and, with his performance this year, has become the first player since Whitfield and Marian Cisar to score 30 goals in back-to-back seasons. Whitfield had three straight years of 30 goals from 1995 to 1998 and Cisar did it in 1996-97 and 1997-98. No player in the 12 seasons of the Spokane Arena has scored 75 goals, Grabner’s totals for the past two, in back-to-back years. Pat Falloon and Ray Whitney each scored 124 combined goals in consecutive seasons in 1989-90 and 1990-91.

Grabner will be in the lineup on Saturday night when the Chiefs travel to take on the U.S. Division leading Everett Silvertips at 7:00. Mike Boyle will go on the air at 6:30 with Comcast Hockey Tonight on KJRB 790 the Fan.

Thats Grabtastic.

The only reason you may think it doesn't apply to Euro's is because no junior team has their rights. Tecniqually, if no one owned Bourdon's junior rights, he would be on the moose right now. A lot of Euro's do have junior rights though, through the CHL import draft (that's how Grabner has a junior team). Hope that clears things up a bit.

Ok, so theoretically if a player was drafted by an NHL team, but was not drafted by any junior level team, then he would be able to go and play for the NHL team's AHL affiliate at the age of 18 or 19?

That seems kinda retarded, because that way if a player was drafted by a CHL team but decided not to play for them, and then had a chance at making an AHL team, then he couldn't just because his rights belong to a CHL team ...

Maybe I just have this confused, but it doesn't really make any sense to me.

I think you have to have played in the CHL at some point as well in order to not be eligable for the AHL before 20. Many american players who are college bound can be drafted in the CHL but still be eligable for the AHL.

I think Spezza played in the AHL at 19, cause he started in the OHL at 15/14

will simek play AHL next year?

You are way too obsessed with Simek.

He is eligible.

But could very well play another year of Junior.

[hiroshima]

why he should play another year WHL?

[timw33]

hiroshima said:

I'm just saying that its a possibility.

[hiroshima]

he will be to good next year,he wont play WHL

[timw33]

hiroshima said:

And Niklas Danielson will make the team for sure next year.

The Canucks may feel that it would be benificial for Simek to play in the WHL for another year.

We will see this offseason.

But stop continually asking about Simek.

Simek had a really good camp with the nucks this year.. i doubt he'll make the team, but if hes eligable for the moose.. i don't see why he wouldn't play there. Hes really learned how to play the NA game pretty well and adapted fast.

Get him and grabby getting their chemistry on.. cause they are gonna be potent offensive weapons for us in the near future

I agree... awesome name.
I really doubt Grabner will be called up for the playoffs, despite what is being said by some people.
Oh, and tim... what happened to your prediction of Forsberg being injured?
It could still happen...

Yeah, I took it out a week or so ago.

It could still happen, I always forget about him now that he plays for Nashville.
