Mathurin, Niederbach, Bednar's rights set yo expire.

No one gets signed, right? Maybe Bednar for some ECHL depth, but that's it I feel.
Not that I really think it matters one way or the other, but why are we losing Mathurin's rights already? He was just drafted in 2022. What makes him different than Mehlenbacher, Ali, Plandowski, Savage, etc.?

(Or have we already signed/lost the rights to these guys?)

Different expiry dates for Euros and NCAA kids.

Wait. Henkka's polls said Edvinsson isn't a prospect anymore. Where does our pool rank without Ed?

And Ryan O'Reilly, Sam Stange, and Cooper Moore are due by Aug 15. The former two are certainly gone, but I wonder if Cooper Moore has an outside chance at getting a contract.

Finally a somewhat informed prospect ranking. Though I'd personally have Buchelnikov above Buium (and maybe above Wallinder at this moment).
Informed in terms of where the Red Wings rank versus other teams or the Red Wings prospects themselves? I honestly didn't think either was that out of the ordinary (at least from the ones I've seen).

The prospects themselves. I guess I just meant "more realistic". I've seen lists in the past that have random prospects included and other prospects left off...but I guess they're all just opinions either way you slice it.

CHL kids get 2 years post draft to be signed, 4 for college and Euro players, with some Euros having no limit (not sure why).

You are overrating Buchelnikov.

His production at KHL is nothing special vs age comparables and that league level of competition is way down. Nothing compared in the past, because so many players left from there to other Euro leagues like Sweden or Switzerland.

The only issue I find since my list is long, it appears a lot of people are talking to themselves. At least it removes a lot of the garbage.
I actually don't put anyone on ignore despite how often I tell people here to do it - I just do it with my eyes. I just assume they all shed that username like a layer of skin and make a new one. Are responses to their messages from users you don't ignore also hidden?
