Will you go in the summer or autumn of Islanders , for example, to the camp ?

NYIFC Comments:
Regardless of where Pokka plays he must sign an NHL contract by 5/31 or New York loses his NHL rights. European(not Russia)/Canadian league prospects must be signed two years after being drafted.
Obviously the depth chart for defenders signed is packed for New York, and Bridgeport.
