Nail Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 As per the Maple Leafs Twitter. Was regarded as the top NCAA free agent this year.@LeafsPR: The @MapleLeafs have signed free agent forward Casey Bailey to a two-year entry level contract #TMLtalk @LeafsPR: Casey Bailey is expected to join the @MapleLeafs before the end of the season. Timing to be determined. #TMLtalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Who willingly picks the Leafs as their destination when many other teams were after him. Unless of course you were going for money, but he is only on an entry level contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 33m33 minutes ago Any team signing Bailey had to agree to burn 1st yr of contract now, Bailey immediately going to NHL club and playing games this season.

VanGnome Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I thought free agents signed after the trade deadline were ineligible for the remainder of the season? I thought that was the reason why the Flames weren't going to bother signing Douglas Murray after he came back from Germany on a PTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to burn one year and entitled to be on the nhl roster? Ok glad we didn't sign him then. Mike gillis stayed away from free agents like these (Justin Shultz). Jim benning too. Future 3rd line type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 $&!#, he was one of the two college guys I was after, the other being Kyle Baun. And to the Leafs yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I wonder if he plays defence. Knowing the McTank job that the Leaves are doing, he's likely to be slotted in as the starting goaltender. I thought free agents signed after the trade deadline were ineligible for the remainder of the season? I thought that was the reason why the Flames weren't going to bother signing Douglas Murray after he came back from Germany on a PTO. I think that was just free agent signings involving players that had prior pro hockey experience.... no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think that was just free agent signings involving players that had prior pro hockey experience.... no? Could be the case. Zalewski played a few games with the Canucks the year he was signed I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the reason why the Flames weren't going to bother signing Douglas Murray after he came back from Germany on a PTO. pretty sure the rule is that any player signed after the trade deadline is ineligible for the playoffs (same for players claimed on waivers).
