Updated List Of Expiring Draft Rights

May 31, 2017 at 4:39 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

According to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, the Blue Jackets will not sign either of Sam Ruopp or Markus Soberg, their two remaining draft picks whose rights will expire tomorrow. In early April, we examined the list of players closing in on the expiry date thanks to the help of CapFriendly’s list. Here that list is, with the updated contract situations.

Buffalo Sabres

Tampa Bay Lightning

Bokondji Imama (6th round, 2015) — Traded to Kings and signed, three years, amount unknown

Marcus Karlstrom (7th round, 2013)
Matteo Gennaro (7th round, 2015)
Jansen Harkins (2nd round, 2015) — Signed, three years, $768K

Teams will lose the exclusive rights to these players should they not be signed by 4pm CST Thursday, making the next 24 hours extremely important if they should see any potential in them. Many of these players won’t accept AHL contracts to stay in the organization, hoping rather to hit the open market and find an entry-level deal somewhere. While none of them are high draft picks, several do still offer interesting possibilities and have found success in junior or international leagues.
