Baercheese Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Signings The Buffalo Sabres have signed Greg Chase to a 3 year, $650,000 per year contract The Buffalo Sabres have signed Nikita Lyamkin to a 3 year, $900,000 per year contract very glad to bring in Greg and Nikita, as well as Jon Gillies. Chase is a 2way forward that has intriguing potential, while Lyamkin, who was named on the tourney MVP team along with Canada's own Connor McDavid in the most recent U-17 championship, has the potential to be a top pick in the 2014 draft. We now also have Gillies and Hellebyuk who were both standout rookies in the Hockey East last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyamkin went undrafted in our 2014 draft, so he should return to the draft for 2015, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Lyamkin went undrafted in our 2014 draft, so he should return to the draft for 2015, correct? I may be getting this confused with another league, but IIRC if a player isn't drafted, you can just sign him as a free agent since their is only 5 rounds. Can't remember if that was this league or RGMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our draft is going to be full of ehm players as is with 2015 being so far away IRL for scouting, it doesn't need more players taken out of the pool.

Fair enough. I'm pretty sure that i'm thinking of the RGMG entry level draft anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baercheese Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 the rule is you can sign anyone that has been passed over in a draft not sure why it'd be any different for here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'll try to have a preliminary draft list out mid-late. Donno when that'll be with summer break on though. the rule is you can sign anyone that has been passed over in a draft not sure why it'd be any different for here They have to be un-draftable first. Can't sign 19/20 year-olds since they would still be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklax Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 evan mceneny with van last year? He was a NA with a camp tryout offer that turned into a contract. Euro's are different, PHIL tried to signed Thomas Hyka IRL the same way but since he came from a Euro club they couldn't. Also, the precedent has been set by Roberts Lipsbergs and Emil Lundberg being over age euros drafted in our league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklax Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Lyamkin isn't in the professional leagues But he's playing for a european club and thats the issue Its also a concern specifically for this league if a hard to scout draft loses players that would be eligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player no, but its the principle that could ruin the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB for MVP Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 VC has a rule based on age I believe the Lyamkin contract will be voided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baercheese Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Lundberg and Lispsbergs were also passed over but had to be drafted. One player no, but its the principle that could ruin the draft Lispsbergs played in the CHL in his draft year and we won't know about Lyamkin until it's actually 2014 since he might get drafted in the import draft this year meh whatever, i don't see the harm in signing a passed over draftee in a fricking sim league..... meaning if we can do it for the North Americans, what difference does it make for Euros when they both have to play for the AHL anyways in this sim league....

VC has a rule based on age I believe the Lyamkin contract will be voided If the *VC* does have a rule based on age Sven, you really have no ground to argue on because there's no reason for an exception to be made for you.
