Qwags Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If Boeser could translate his offensive talents into the NHL, he'll be a beauty of a player. A 25-30 goal scorer would be a success in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salter Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Reading the proposed rules for expansion draft...unsigned rookies after 2 years are available for the draft. The draft is going to be this summer because teams will be playing for the 16-17 season. We either have to sign demko this offseason or let him pretty much for sure get taken in the draft. damn...

I think the NHLPA would take some issues with that as NCAA draftees cannot sign while in school, unless they are willing to turn pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports going around right now are: Teams will be able to protect 1 goalie, 3 defense, 7 forwards. Or 8 total skaters of their choosing.

TheRussianRocket. Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Demko is a top 10 finalist for the Hobey Baker award. 10 shutouts will do that, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't include NCAA players. The rule for the entry draft is unsigned junior players (CHL) would re-enter the draft is not signed after a time period, like everyone was freaking out about with Subban. NCAA players stay RFAs until a time period after their final college season, and would never be eligible to re-enter the draft. The same idea applies for players overseas, where RFA vs UFA comes into play, but not re-entering the draft. They'd only consider the players eligible to re-enter the entry draft as a result in the category you're talking about since those players would be lost to their original teams anyway. 20 minutes ago, Gooseberries said: This is it! Tjis is how we shed miller! I know you're kidding around, but it wouldn't be this summer so we'd absolutely leave him unprotected as a pending UFA if the draft went ahead next summer. Not that a team would be likely to take a pending UFA (although Vegas could be a likely destination for Miller if he got the opportunity) but we certainly would have been at a point where we were letting him go to UFA anyway.

Salter Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ESPN is reporting this rule "Unsigned draft picks (think college or European players) are exempt from the expansion draft for two years from their draft year but not in Year 3, so teams will have to either rush to sign those guys or simply expose them in the expansion draft. " Thatcher Demko will be eligible for the expansion draft if he is not signed this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Lames goalie prospect, any team with Brian Burke around will have no clue about goaltending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Thatcher Demko will be eligible for the expansion draft if he is not signed this summer. Not so sure about that. What I've seen is young players with under 3 years pro experience would automatically be protected, and I'd think that would include unsigned RFAs in college. Unsigned junior players would re-enter the regular draft so I don't even see the need to include them in expansion draft talks. It wouldn't make sense to have a player in college who intends on returning another year (so a team couldn't sign them) unprotected; you couldn't force a player to sign and go pro just to protect him from expansion if he wanted another year in the NCAA. Demko would have completed his 4th year of college by next summer anyway, so we'd have to sign him regardless. He'll likely sign this summer so that'd make it a moot point.

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Reminder, the Sedins weren't signed until July 1st. Why people are in a state of panic is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
