Dixon Ward Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Please correct me if I'm wrong but this guy is not signed. RHD destroying OHL top scoring defenceman. 30 pts in 19 games. Plays with Gajdovich. Why haven't we signed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrissex95 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Because he's a man playing against boys. Plus we already have Chatfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Late cut for the Islanders in the off season due to mobility issues. Will probably earn a contract at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last June was his draft year I think. He didn't get drafted but is the same year as Gajdovich and Lind. His numbers are crazy and he is a right hand shot. Chatfield was never close to that offense. Seems like a risk with taking. We could use dmen who can score. Darren Raddysh was a year older and his ppg was lower. Obviously I haven't seen him play though.

N7Nucks Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Can you sign him? Isn't he similar in age to Jonah? So he'd just enter this draft at 19? I don't really know how the draft works. Can 18 year olds that got passed over then sign a contract with a NHL team during their draft +1 year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as a player is still eligible to be drafted they can't sign as a free agent. It's normally after draft+2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 He's 19, still a kid essentially in his draft+1 year, not sure why the Islanders would let him go but they must be regretting it now. I'd sign him unless he goes back into the draft. Almost 2PPG as a defenceman is remarkable in the OHL from anyone. Right handed puck moving defenceman would fit into our future D core nicely.

I kinda figured, otherwise someone somewhere would have snagged this guy and similar 19 year olds already.
