GoldenAlien Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Persson’s 4th goal of the season: Gives him 6 points in 11 games. Edited October 18, 2020 by GoldenAlien 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Good start to the year for Persson. A good year in the Swedish junior league then hopefully a year on Kamloops in the WHL will bode well for his transition into pro hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, happy we selected Persson I wanted us to take him earlier but he kept falling. Was hoping to snag Bertuzzi's son with this pick but maybe we can sign him as an undrafted FA? Or does he still have to get passed in the draft 1 more year still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to snag Bertuzzi's son with this pick but maybe we can sign him as an undrafted FA? Or does he still have to get passed in the draft 1 more year still? It’s tricky with the COVID-19 stuff and all the dates changing, but here’s how it usually works. Players become undrafted free agents after going through 3 drafts of eligibility and not being picked. However, undrafted players can be invited to NHL team camps, and there is a short window in which they can be signed, even if they are still draft eligible. They just need to be signed before their next season starts, and IIRC, they need to be invited to the NHL team’s camp, for them to be signed during that window. This is what we did with Evan McEneny. He had gone undrafted, and was still draft eligible. But we invited him to camp, and signed him on September 12th, 2012, when he was still only 18 years old. So, in the case of Tag Bertuzzi, I believe he has one more year of draft eligibility, so he’s not an undrafted free agent. What I don’t know is if there’s a delayed window this year, in which he could be signed (similar to McEneny). We don’t know exactly when NHL training camps will be held (but November 17th appears to be the plan). And it looks like the OHL wants to start their 2020-21 season on December 1st. So, it’s possible there could be a signing window for undrafted NHL camp invites sometime in late November, but I’ve seen nothing definitive on this.

204CanucksFan Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Probably the pick from the 2020 draft I'm most excited about. So far putting up a really good amount of points in the J20 Nationell league and this winter going to a great program in Kamloops. Can't wait to see how he acclimates to the smaller ice but he already plays a physical, WHL style game. Really hope they let some fans in to attendance by the spring so if he comes out east on a road trip I can see him live. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rollieo Del Fuego Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2020 So let's see...the kid has size....the kid can skate like the wind...the kid can shoot...the kid can make moves at speed... What am I missing...that caused him to fall so far down in the draft? Looks like a high 2nd rounder to me....at worst... 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
