Which NHL regulars will be playing in the AHL this year(for your team)

I'm only asking for DEFINITES. To get this started, Nashville has assigned Dan Hamhuis and Jordin Tootoo to the Milwaukee Admirals. Prospects Paul Brown, Kevin Klein and Andrei Mukhachev will also join the Ads.

Joni Pitkanen and Patrick Sharp are attending Phantoms training camp but it's unclear if they are eligible.

Jarret Stoll will be playing for the Edmonton Roadrunners. Ales Hemsky is also eligible, but has decided to play in Europe instead.

Edit: Awesome avatar, nomorekids.

For the Habs, Mike Komisarek will be there, that's it. Although Higgins and or Plekanec I think would have made the Habs and maybe Kostitsyn if Kovalev didn't sign, but we'll never know.

Also in Hamilton, Trevor Daley and Steve Ott will be on loan from the Stars.


I've heard Chelios might sign in Norfolk I think. But it's just rumor

Derek Roy will be with the Amerks.

Joni Pitkanen and Patrick Sharp are attending Phantoms training camp but it's unclear if they are eligible.

They both should be eligible no reason why they shouldn't.

Also in Hamilton, Trevor Daley and Steve Ott will be on loan from the Stars.

As well as Antti Miettinen and Dan Ellis.

They both should be eligible no reason why they shouldn't.

I think there was some concern that players who dressed for 50 or more NHL games last season wouldn't be eligible, but that was resolved.

They aren't my team anymore but here's the list of players sent to the San Antonio camp already from the Panthers (with players that were in FL at one point last season in bold):

LW Eric Beaudoin, D Jay Bouwmeester, LW Gregory Campbell, C Rob Globke, RW Paul Healey, D Burke Henry, C Scott Kelman, D Lukas Krajicek, C Kamil Kreps, D Grant McNeill, D Filip Novak, LW Ryan Jardine, RW Ty Jones, D Jeremy Swanson, C Kamil Piros, C Petr Taticek, D Victor Uchevatov and C Stephen Weiss will report to San Antonio training camp beginning Sept. 24.

Horton was added to this list when the CHL & NHL supposedly made the agreement so that Nathan will play for Canada's WJC team.

The most notable are obviously Bouwmeester, Weiss, Horton & Krajicek.

As well as Antti Miettinen and Dan Ellis.


I didn't think they played in the NHL as well, outside of one game for Ellis.

Tampa assigned a lot of players to Springfield, but only Shane Willis is a (sort of) NHL'er. Eric Perrin signed his own contract with Hershey (too many vets in Springfield for him to be able to play). Nikita Alexeev is supposed to sign his own contract with Springfield (Tampa's affiliate), but it hasn't happened yet.

I didn't think they played in the NHL as well, outside of one game for Ellis.

Miettinen played 16 games to start the season before being sent down :)

King, Auld, Kesler to Manitoba. Rumours are that Keane sign too.

Spezza, Vermette, Volchenkov, and Hasek.

Just David Hale from Jersey.

Not Parise? Martin?

goc and ehrhoff for the sharks

Matt Hussey, Matt Murley, Ryan Whitney, Andy Chiodo, and Marc-Andre Fleury have been assigned by Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre management is trying to sign Ramzi Abid, Kris Beech, Ross Lupaschuk, Tomas Surovy, Guillaume Lefebvre, Alain Nasreddine, Chris Kelleher and Rob Scuderi to AHL contracts, since they are locked out by Pittsburgh.

Not Parise? Martin?
Parise will play in the AHL and Martin was supposed to play in the OSHL.

Not Parise? Martin?

Parise isn't an NHL regular and Martin is on Detriot of the OSHL.

Pock, Tyutin, Balej*, Ortmeyer, Betts

*Balej was rumored to go to Slovakia, but it seems like bs to me

Parise isn't an NHL regular and Martin is on Detriot of the OSHL.


but isn't the OSHL already falling apart? Could he then go on to the AHL if(when) it does?

but isn't the OSHL already falling apart? Could he then go on to the AHL if(when) it does?

It's possible, but I think I read he would have to pass through waivers and if that's the case then definitely not.

Michael Leighton/Craig Anderson (theyre kinda one entity), Jim Vandermeer, Pavel Vorobiev, Mikhail Yakubov, Igor Radulov, Eric Nickulas, Travis Moen *shudder*

PM Bouchard, Brent Burns, Zbynek Michalek and Rickard Wallin are all going to Houston from the Wild. Mikko Koivu, well he isnt a regular yet but will be when hockey comes back is a Aero too.

Ilya Bryzgalov, Stanislav Chistov, Mikael Holmqvist, Chris Kunitz, Joffrey Lupul, Tomas Malec, Mark Popovic, and Alexei Smirnov are all players who have NHL experience and will play for Cincinnati this upcoming season.

but isn't the OSHL already falling apart? Could he then go on to the AHL if(when) it does?
Man I would think he would be ten times better off playing in the AHL than this goofy OSHL? Hopefully he ends up in the AHL.

Joni Pitkanen and Patrick Sharp are attending Phantoms training camp but it's unclear if they are eligible.

It's been set for a while that they would be able to play for the Phantoms. As well, Seidenberg is playing for them as well, along with Umberger, Eager, and Ruggeri for Flyer prospects.

Bergeron. Only Bruins regular to play in the AHL in the upcoming season.

pending the disbandment of the OSHL, would Raycroft play for Providence?

I hope not, for Toivonen's sake.

Anyone from St. Louis coming to Worcester? Or is Worcester gonna be the only AHL team playing all the NHL-ers?

Great avatar!

Lombardi & Kobasew for the Flames!
Wasn't there 300 players on waivers over the weekend?

PM Bouchard, Rickard Wallin, Zbynek Michalek, Brent Burns are all coming to Houston...

Along with the mysterious Mikko Koivu, the much sought after Junior Lessard, the wonderfully gifted goaltender Josh Harding...

This team is going to suck...

:help:

Auld, Kesler, King, Baumgartner.

Marek Svatos

The Blues didn't have anyone they could send down that wouldn't have to pass through waviers. The only way they'll benefit from the lockout is by keeping Sejna and maybe another player that would have made the Blues roster if the NHL was playing.

Does anyone know the situation with Tuomo? He said he'd like to play for HIFK, but he was on the list that was ment to be sent down to AHL. It's not binding, is it? :dunno:

He'll be able to play in Finland if he wants, and I think he does. Zherdev was assigned to Syracuse but will play for CSKA Moscow.

For Washington, Portland will look a lot like last year after the Caps had their fire-sale.

Guys with NHL experience: Sutherby, Eminger, Morrisonn, Ouellet, Aulin, Cutta, Yonkman (assuming he can stay healthy, which is a huge assumption), Gordon, Laich, Fussey and Mink.

Fleischmann, Johansson and Daigneault will be joining them for their first season of pro hockey.

It looks like Semin will *not* play in the AHL this year.

From Phoenix to Utah Grizzlies

Goalies - Zac Bierk and JM Pelletier (plus notable LeNeveu)
Defense - Matt Spiller and Rick Berry (plus Ballard)
Forwards - Jeff Taffe, Fredrik Sjostrom, Eric Westrum, Jon Sim, Sheldon Keefe, Martin Sonnenberg, Doug Doull

These are guys with NHL experience, though I wouldn't call them regulars. The real regulars are in the OSHL, Europe or taking a break.

Detroit: :huh: :madfire:

Tampa Bay sent no one to the Falcons unless one considers Alexeev (if he shows) to be an NHL regular.

Fahey is also supposedly working out an AHL only deal.

Pock, Tyutin, Balej*, Ortmeyer, Betts

*Balej was rumored to go to Slovakia, but it seems like bs to me
Not "bs" at all. Here's the link to his profile on eurohockey.net, clearly showing that he's on the roster for HK 36 Skalica in Slovakia for 2004-05. As soon as I come across some stats, I'll post a link.

And the Rangers PR also said he is playing for the WolfPack.

and he is listed on the camp roster.

And the Sharks PR stated that none of their players will be overseas this season, while several of them are and already have points, too boot. So I guess we'll see.

Well, except for Miro. He's played 3 already for Skalica and he has 0 points to show for it. :shakehead Probably plenty of turnovers and missed checks though.

As for Balej, Skalica is three games in (0-2-1 by the way) and Balej has yet to suit up for them. Roster (http://www.hk36.sk/hraci.asp) if you'd like to take a look.

I may be wrong, and if I am, someone please tell me, but I believe there are many players listed on European rosters who are not on those teams. I believe if a player is assigned to an AHL team by his parent club, he MUST play for that AHL team. So I believe Ruutu, Zherdev and Balej as well as others will be playing in the AHL. Let me know if you know for a fact that this is untrue.

Zherdev IS playing in Russia, so take that for what it is worth.

I would say it's the same as when any other prospect goes back to Europe with years left on their NHL contract

you're wrong about that. as mentioned, zherdev has already played for CSKA, and is already injured. Ruutu should be playing in Finland starting next week, as well.

Alexander Semin has now been confirmed for the Portland Pirates training camp. Having been reassigned recently, he has left Lada Togliatti (he did not play in Lada's most recent game) and will arrive to join his Pirates teammates in Portland.

http://portlandpirates.com/newsarticle.asp?Id=780

for Toronto: Mikael Tellqvist (well he played about 10 games or so), Matt Stajan

It was announced that Ron Hainsey will not join the OSHL and will play in Hamilton instead. Thank God.

Lowell:

Canes - Staal, St. Jacques, Rourke, Ward (was stupidly slated to be the back-up)
Flames - Kobasew, Lombardi, Lyonns

Guys with NHL experience includes Bayda, Fast (albiet 1 very impressive game), Forbes, Dwyer,and Zigomanis

I'm liking the Lock Monsters chances this year.

My belief is that Willis would have been sent to the Falcons even if there was no lockout although that would have been a debateable point.

Of course he would have, there's no room for him on Tampa's roster. No debate about it. The question was about NHL players, and he's about the closest to an NHLer that'll be playing in Springfield.

This must suck for the AHL players, and would be potential AHL players.

Agree but the title of this thread is "Which NHL regulars will be skating for your AHL team this season". *Using that criteria there will be no Lightning players skating in Springfield this season, again with the possible exception of Alexeev if you deem him an NHL regular.

Kings to Manchester -

Michael Cammalleri – Center
Scott Barney – Right Wing
Dustin Brown – Right Wing
Tim Gleason – Defenseman
Denis Grebeshkov – Defenseman (not really an NHL regular, played a couple games with the Kings last season)

No one, unless you consider Svitov, Jackman and Johnson NHL players. Zherdev was assigned, but is playing in Russia. Columbus has also locked out three Crunch regulars, Scoville, McDonell and Moran. Have other AHL teams faced lockouts of key players that have not resulted in them being offered AHL contracts? From what I read, sounds like they usually get signed.

http://www.monarchshockey.com/news/?id=1181

Mathieu Garon and Ryan Flinn sign with the Manchester Monarchs ( Los Angeles )

Biggest name of note as far as the Bruins/P-Bruins are concerned is Patrice Bergeron will be playing for Providence this season. He and Andy Hilbert just signed AHL deals with the club today.

What has Hilbert done, HG??????? NOT that much but Hilbert's been a regular in Providence with spot duty in the NHL.

same with Corrazini.

Patrick Traverse and John Erskine just signed a contract with the Aeros :banana:

Corrazzini is not with the team anymore.

Hilbert is beginning to become a better player. He will obviously have a spot on the Bruins the next time the season starts.

Your point? I was simply stating that he signed a deal with Providence yesterday. Corazzini wasn't re-upped by the Bruins and can sign anywhere.

Why wasn't Patrice given the option when he signed whether or not he was eligible to play in Providence that's up to Patrice and the Boston management and they should've known that this lockout would be imposed, why do we need for players to sign a strict contract with the affiliate while having a separate deal with the parent team, (Boston).

I can see signing an AHL Contract if you are signing with an organization that your NHL rights are not owned by.

There should've been a clause written in that should have said like you're seeing now or have recently where a player signs in Europe until the CBA is signed, like Eric Perrin, whose NHL rights are owned by 1 team but their affiliate has allotted their veteran limit, so he signed with Hershey and if and when that is resolved that contract will be reverted to a loan by Tampa Bay if needed.

I don't see the impetus for having players signing AHL deals with that organization's affiliate just so they can stay in shape while the NHL solves their labor difficulty.

Jozef Balej is in the Hartford camp

While I like Robinson and Kronwall, none of those players are really NHL regulars.

Definitely not like Hasek in the AHL. I'd hate to be the poor ******* facing him.

Hasek won't be playing in any games because he's still working out, and he's only scheduled to face his own teammates.

Because the NHL/CHL age restriction, Patrice wouldn't have been able to play in the AHL until the 2005-06 season when his contract was drawn up. I imagine that is why he didn't have such a clause in his contract.

Patrice had the choice of returning to his junior club, or playing in Europe, or signing an AHL deal with the P-Bruins.

:joker: I find this very funny.

1) His contract was done before the agreement

2) What does it matter if he signed an AHL contract or not? Atleast he gets to play in the lockout.

Bridgeport Sound Tigers:

Justin Papineau
Justin Mapletoft
Eric Godard

Sean Bergenheim is also playing in Bridgeport. He played 12 games with NYI, then was returned to Europe for the season.

Could anyone confirm if the following players will be definitely playing in the AHL this year

Peter Sejna - Worcester Ice Cats - St. Louis Blues
Matt Stajan - St. John's Maple Leafs - Toronto Maple Leafs
Carlo Colaiacovo - St. John's Maple Leafs - Toronto Maple Leafs
Niklas Kronwall - Grand Rapids Griffins - Detroit Red Wings
Brandon Reid - Manitoba Moose - Vancouver Canucks
Fedor Fedorov - Manitoba Moose - Vancouver Canucks
Brad Boyes - Providence Bruins - Boston Bruins
Jason Labarbera - Hartford Wolf Pack - New York Rangers

Thanks in advance

All of them are playing except Reid and Fedorov, who are in Europe.

Bergeron. Only Bruins regular to play in the AHL in the upcoming season.

:) Im very excited to see Patrice in Providence this year. It going to be a great year watching him.
Im just surprised that Boston was going to have Milan Jurcina playing for them this year

King, Auld, Kesler to Manitoba. Rumours are that Keane sign too.
Keane? Really? I thought he'd retired, but that'd be awesome if he signed with the moose.

Jordin Tootoo playing sweet

Jeff Jillson is now with the Amerks.
