A team that does not sign a first-round draft pick receives a compensatory pick in a future draft upon losing the rights to that player, determined on a case-by-case basis.” https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/nhl-draft-101-rules-and-information/c-675546 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to send him to a rebuilding team with another prospect or pick for an experienced top 4 RHD whom they are willing to move.

Because I'm pretty sure he wants to burn a year of his contract I know we've had some discussion on this board about a scenario of trading Johnson for another D prospect who is right-handed. Assuming he does sign though, I certainly don't mind the vision of a future D-corp made up of Dahlin, Power, Mule, Joki and Johnson. That could pretty amazing actually! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 This is interesting. The last two Sabres draft picks to stay in college long enough to qualify for free agency did not exercise that option and instead signed with the Sabres anyway. They were Linus Weissbach and Casey Fitzgerald. The one previous to those two may have been Will Borgen, who may have also been able to walk after 3 years because he was drafted at 19. Not certain on that one. Prior to Borgen, Sean Malone did 4 years in Harvard and still signed with the Sabres. It seems to me Cal Petersen was more the exception than the rule. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say portillo because he has some friends on the sabres team. But likely both are not signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
