CallawaySabres Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I thought someone said last week that if the Sabres wanted to play him, he will be available this week. What exactly is the info on that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 If his Junior team's season is done, he can sign a contract and play in the AHL or the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 paging resident rules expert Shrader.. what's the word here? As Xander said, his season needs to be done. I have no clue whether or not it is, but it seems a bit early for that. The only difference though is that he already has a contract, so he wouldn't have to sign one.

CallawaySabres Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well I did read somewhere that he would be available if needed. I have no idea if the Sabres would even consider that this year but it would certainly add some fear to the forward ranks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 He is available today at 3pm Their regular season ends on 3/19. He's still got a lot of OHL hockey left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont play in Portland or Buffalo this year. His team is always in it til the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 He wont play in Portland or Buffalo this year. His team is always in it til the end. The Memorial Cup ended on May 23rd last year, so if Windsor's as stacked this year as they were last year, they should be playing until right around that point.

Weave Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The Memorial Cup ended on May 23rd last year, so if Windsor's as stacked this year as they were last year, they should be playing until right around that point. They are doing well but that team is not nearly as stacked as last year. There was some early season talk that Windsor might be interested in trading Kassian to a contender so they can re-tool. But Windsor stayed in the playoff race so it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the official rule that he is eligible to be signed (or brought up in this case since he is signed) to the Sabres after the OHL league regular season ends, OR when his team is officially done for the season counting the playoffs?

It's written to prevent Juniors teams from being poached of their players when they need them. So, if the team still has games (regular season or playoffs), then their players are protected.

I wonder if there are cases where an NHL team tries to get a JR team to trade their prospect player to another JR team that will not make the playoffs?

LabattBlue Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 IMO, even if Kassian's season ended today, he would end up in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whomever makes the trade - perhaps a position with an NHL club. Maybe the JR folks and the NHL folks are friends. Could be many possibilities.

R_Dudley Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 We are currently at the 23 active player roster max so no way anybody gets called up till someone goes down(injury or back to portland) now that the trading deadline is over.

The roster limit is gone now, but aren't they only at 22 right now (13F, 7 D, 2 G)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
