Snapshots: Gibson, Dahlen, Brink, Oilers

July 10, 2022 at 8:27 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 3 Comments

With the Maple Leafs being one of the teams that still need to add a starting goaltender, some have speculated that Ducks goaltender John Gibson could be a potential trade option for them.  However, his agent Kurt Overhardt told Sportsnet 590’s Nick Kypreos (Twitter link) that Gibson has “no interest” in playing in Toronto and is committed to staying in Anaheim.  Gibson has five years left on his deal with a $6.4MM AAV with a ten-team no-trade clause so even if the Ducks were inclined to move him this summer, the 28-year-old may be able to block a move.

Elsewhere around the NHL:

  • While Sharks winger Jonathan Dahlen had a decent rookie season with 12 goals and 10 assists in 61 games, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports that the team is considering non-tendering him by tomorrow’s deadline. Even though he has only been in the NHL for one year, this is his fourth year on an NHL contract which gives him salary arbitration rights.  While Dahlen couldn’t command a significant increase on his league-minimum salary from this past season, San Jose likely will want to keep the last few spots on their roster at low salary slots so whatever raise he could get from an arbitrator may be more than they can afford to allocate.
  • Flyers winger Bobby Brink has sustained a hip injury during offseason workouts that might require surgery, Anthony SanFilippo of Crossing Broad was first to report (Twitter link). No timeline for a return is known yet but SanFilippo suggests the injury is severe enough that it could run into the start of next season; Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer adds (via Twitter) that the 21-year-old will see a specialist in a few days and that the team will have a better understanding of how much time he’ll miss by the end of the week.  Brink had four assists in 10 NHL games down the stretch while logging over 15 minutes a night.
  • The Oilers announced (Twitter link) that they’ve tendered qualifying offers to forwards Tyler Benson, Ryan McLeod, Jesse Puljujarvi, and Kailer Yamamoto. That means that defenseman Filip Berglund and forwards Brendan Perlini and Ostap Safin will go non-tendered.  Those three will become unrestricted free agents later this week.  Of the unqualified players, only Perlini has NHL experience and had four goals and an assist in 23 games this past season while Berglund has already signed in Sweden.

NHL Prospects Fill World Junior Selection Camp Rosters For Finland, Czech Republic

December 4, 2018 at 4:49 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

Team Canada released their roster for the upcoming World Junior Championship selection camp yesterday, and all but three players had already been drafted by an NHL team. Alexis Lafreniere, Raphael Lavoie and Brett Leason are the only invitees who have yet to be picked by a professional franchise. That number grows slightly when looking at the rosters of two other prime hockey nations, but that’s not to say there isn’t plenty of NHL prospects among them.

Finland and the Czech Republic also released their selection camp rosters yesterday:

Team Finland:

G Lassi Lehtinen (undrafted)
G Filip Lindberg (undrafted)
G Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (BUF)

D Aleksi Anttalainen (undrafted)
D Ville Heinola (2019 eligible)
D Anttoni Honka (2019 eligible)
D Olli Kaskinen (undrafted)
D Mikko Kokkonen (2019 eligible)
D Oskari Laaksonen (BUF)
D Otto Latvala (undrafted)

Ostap Safin Signs Entry-Level Contract With Edmonton Oilers

March 6, 2018 at 12:17 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

The Edmonton Oilers continue to lock up prospects, this time signing Ostap Safin to a three-year entry-level contract. Safin is currently playing in the QMJHL with the Saint John Sea Dogs, but could see some time on an amateur tryout with the Bakersfield Condors before the end of the year.

Safin, selected in the fourth round of the 2017 draft, came over to North America after growing up in the Czech Republic and has found immediate success in the CHL. With 53 points in 56 games, he has excellent potential as a power forward for the Oilers, one who can skate exceptionally well for a player of his size. Now listed at 6’5″ 191-lbs, Safin protects the puck well in the offensive zone and tries to create chances for teammates.

While he may not project as a top line player in the NHL, Safin has already shown more than expected from his fourth-round draft status. His size, speed and deceptive offensive talent has transferred well to Saint John where he leads the team in points, and will soon be tested at the professional level. Since he was drafted out of Europe, he could potentially go to the AHL next season despite being only 19 years old. Otherwise, a return to Saint John could bring about huge offensive numbers as one of the more advanced players in the QMJHL.
