With NHL training camps nearing their completion, unsigned players are now facing a crunch to find a place to play for the rest of the year, whether it’s in North America or overseas. We’ll keep track of any players who find a new home here.
- New Jersey’s farm team in Binghamton announced the signings of wingers Danick Martel and Travis St. Denis plus goaltender Jeremy Brodeur to one-year, AHL contracts. Martel split last season between Tampa Bay and Florida’s farms, notching 20 goals and 19 assists in 60 games. He has 13 career games of NHL experience under his belt. Denis spent the last four years in the Islanders’ system, tallying 136 points in 259 games in that span. As for Brodeur, who is the son of Hall of Famer Martin, he split last year between the SPHL and Bulgaria and at this point, probably won’t play any higher than the ECHL level this coming season.
- Winger Ryan Gropp has joined Vasterviks of the Allsvenskan in Sweden, per a team release. The 24-year-old played in 36 games last season with AHL Hartford, affiliate of the Rangers but it wasn’t enough to secure a qualifying offer as he was non-tendered by New York back in October.
