Robert Mastrosimone Unlikely To Sign With Detroit

March 25, 2023 at 5:20 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 16 Comments

Generating the production of an average forward for Boston University, forward Robert Mastrosimone turned things around upon joining the Arizona State Sun Devils. In his first career season at Arizona State, Mastrosimone scored over a point per game, putting up 42 points in 38 games. Unfortunately, for the third straight season, he was unable to help the Sun Devils reach the NCAA tournament.

Mastrosimone was drafted 54th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft by the Detroit Red Wings, hopefully, to become one of the better forwards on the next contending Red Wings’ team. However, Greg Powers, the head coach of Arizona State, relays that Mastrosimone may not be joining the Red Wings altogether.

“He’s playing the waiting game and seeing what’s going to be available as a free agent. There’s a lot of teams that are interested in him, but it doesn’t look like Detroit is going to happen. It’s just a waiting game, but he has the option to come back. It’s a good option and he’s open to it.”

If Detroit and Mastrosimone are unable to come to a contract resolution, the young prospect should nevertheless find his way onto an NHL team. Including his standalone year with Arizona State, Mastrosimone has played in 121 regular season games, scoring 32 goals and 60 assists. Mastrosimone will have one more season of eligibility due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and should he play out his final season with Arizona State, he will likely be joining a new organization around this time next year.

    It’s a weird situation. It’s about money since being a free agent would probably get him more than what Detroit can offer him as a drafted player. If Yzerman wants him, he will get him. Great opportunity to come in play quickly as Detroit is still young & rebuilding.

      The CBA rules regarding ELC’s mean that it’s not about money.

      There’s still bonuses that are negotiated in any contract.

      Bonuses are also highly regulated. Teams simply cannot back up the truck like they could in the past.
      The only real advantage that a draft-team is is to get a player to RFA status a year earlier than other teams.

      I think you need to do more research before commenting. There’s a max bonus amount that can be achieved whether A, or B bonus structure. Those bonuses are negotiable up to the max for each A and B contract. You can achieve a maximum of 4 bonuses.

      You are the one that needs to know what you’re talking about. The bonus levels are highly regulated and while important to a player earning a “paltry” $925k (max. salary) they are hardly big enough to allow a team to outbid another for a players services.

      Money is not the leverage at this level. Prospects will be attracted by location, and organizational style. Money is rather even for all players under ELC’s regardless of skill.

      Not true at all, you need to read the CBA on entry level contracts. 925k is the salary it’s not the salary with bonuses.

      This is getting tedious. You have demonstrated your poor reading comprehension capabilities already*. So it’s not a surprise that your ability to understand the CBA is also poor.

      But in a nutshell, you’re wrong. Why don’t you post the CBA on this matter and we’ll be done with it.

      * $925k (max. salary). What does the max. salary addition mean?!

      This started with the suggestion that another team could offer a prospect too much money to make it possible for the draft team comfortable matching it.

      That is simply not the case.

    A” Bonuses are worth $212,500 each, to a maximum of $850,000 (maximum 4 achieved). For players drafted starting in 2022, “A” bonuses are worth $250,000 each, to a maximum of $1,000,000 (maximum 4 achieved). They are achieved by each of:

    -If a contract has $1.1M in bonuses, the first $850K are “A” bonuses, and the remaining $250K are “B”

    -If a contract has $500K in bonuses, they are all “A” bonuses. The player would get $212,500 each for the first 2 items achieved, and then $75,000 if a 3rd item is achieved.

    Proof that bonuses are negotiable and a player can earn more than $925k.

      I never contested that bonuses may be negotiated. I stated that even max-bonuses are not likely to be the deciding factor for the prospect. I also contend that the bonus structure is not going to persuade a team to let a prospect that they’re interested in to leave. No team is going to relinquish draft rights over bonus demands. No team; therefore, money IS NOT a factor when negotiating ELC contracts with NCAA prospects.

      Your reading comprehension is … uhm, not good.

      Do you seriously think a team is going to let a prospect leave because of these (possible) bonuses that do not count against the cap until, and if, they’re attained? No, no team would. Therefore, money is not a factor.

    Yes because they may not want to offer them. Your entire comment is opinion and not fact.

      They are opinions – like virtually everything we read on message boards. Your comments are opinions too. My opinions are firmly founded in facts and logic.
