Close on his RFA's, one very close-Holmstrom.
Not doing long-term at this time.
Two-way contracts coming for AHL.
A few words on Duclair playing hurt.
Reilly-Fasching unlikely to return.
Varlamov rehab on schedule, wanted insurance.

The prospect site will reflect the 25/under group signed only to NHL contracts in the next day.
#NYC #NYI #isles Darche saying they are not going long-term at this time means they will not be getting the top line scoring they must have. They also went one year with AHL deals meaning Belmont/Bridgeport could be gone in two years for NHL and one for AHL. Big scoring=term.
