Noah Hanifin

[Chris - Boston]

500k

[Tom - Washington]

I think he is taken already but I don't see him on a roster. Let me look into it.

[Tom - Washington]

He should be on Chicago. Lost in the change-over with the new owner was that Chicago drafted him last year.

[Norm - Tampa Bay]

Heres a question. He was drafted by Shawn over a year ago.
Shawn was active til the end of last season. He was never placed on roster, he was never put on AHL protected list.
He was drafted but nothing was ever done with him after. I think he should be a free agent and therefore open to be bid on.
Thoughts?

[Chris - Boston]

I agree (since I found him)

[Tom - Washington]

My thinking is that Troy got to take over the team before the deadline to put prospects on his team. Therefore it is my fault for not pointing out to Troy that he had a drafted player to incorporate to his team. I don't want to punish Troy for something he has no reasonable way to know.

It has been quite a transition summer this year so I hope we get through it without too many more bumps.

yup agree with Tom here, Hanifin is not the kind of prospect that gets washed away, with teh transition Troy should at least have the opportunity to claim him before he goes to FA

[Norm - Tampa Bay]

My point is that there was almost a year before the transition where nothing was done. I have stated my case. Perhaps we should have a new rule. If a player has not been placed on a roster after so long after acquisition he is considered a FA. I would say a 30 days. That is plenty of time. Shawn never even made an attempt, I dont want to penalize the new guy, but this was long before that. if we had a rule this would be cut and dry. Thoughts on this rule?

[mustard (Montreal)]

Shawn never made an attempt because shawn didn't care and ghosted for long periods

[Norm - Tampa Bay]

Thats fine. Moving forward. Rule?

[Chris - Boston]

I'm ok with whatever the decision is
