Not much besides updating the prospect site. Some players were not signed by European Deadlines. Isaiah George added to Under 25 section. New York selections 20th, 54th and 61st from trades with other teams. (no third round pick/no seventh round pick) I fully intend to be writing during the NHL draft as always.
It's a quiet time/not happy with the failure/many players on the ice or at the failed Belmont experiment, and not a fan of this coach. (or the coaching staff)
I do expect a change or two, and despite the age/speed issues with Martin/Clutterbuck do expect they will not be signed elsewhere, they had a good run here (Martin x2) but expect like Bailey there will be no offers. How much can be done with Ping pong Pageau, Palmieri (don't be fooled by 15 goals in 23 games many from crease) Cizikas who can't produce on 4th line much less putting him on the top line, and Engvall who's signed for six more years who's a ghost most games. Lee's legs look like they are big from muscle/injuries he can't move fast very often any more. Very disappointing.
Expectations:
Aho-Want him to stay/skating-think he's going to be a great signing for a skating team. Bortuzzo-check engine light comes on, big mistakes-NO. Reilly-One year yes, more-NO. Salo-Gone already.
