Connor Knapp signs 2yr ELC with Buffalo; will report to Rochester on ATO:

Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier today announced that the team has agreed to terms with forward Dan Catenacci on a three-year entry level contract and goaltender Connor Knapp on a two-year entry-level contract. Both contracts will take effect next season and both players will join the Rochester Americans tonight on amateur tryouts.

Knapp (6’6”, 222 lbs., 5/1/90) recently completed a four-year collegiate career at the University of Miami (Ohio). During his senior season, Knapp appeared in a career-high 24 games, starting 22 and compiling career-best numbers in every category, including a 15-8-0 record, a 1.69 goals against average, a .933 save percentage and five shutouts.

The York, NY native appeared in 84 games during his collegiate career, posting a 46-22-11 record with a 1.94 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. Knapp was selected by the Sabres in the sixth round (164th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Steve Moses signed a one-year deal with Helsinki Jokerit in the Finnish Sm-liiga today. Apparently he had been training with them for a while last summer and knew him already. He was UNH's top scorer, played some games for the Connecticut Whale (AHL) and based on what I've read, he's a fast skater with goal-scoring ability?

I'd be very thankful if someone who has seen him play would post a short description of him as a player. Sm-liiga is quite similar to the AHL but the ice surface is bigger, so I guess that might benefit him?

Oilers Chick - who do the scouts like from the WCHA crop of free agent seniors ?

LeBlanc, Seidel, Knowlton, Hayes, Schwartz, others ?

From the CCHA is DeKeyser (junior) still getting the most interest?

With the exception of Knowlton, the WCHA players you mentioned are getting a lot of NHL attention. I would also include Nebraska-Omaha defenseman Andrej Sustr as well. A lot of NHL scouts are really high on him.

Out of the CCHA, DeKeyser is still getting a ton of interest. Another CCHA defenseman that's also getting a lot of interest is Notre Dame's Shayne Taker.

Thanks for the info.

I just listed some of the WCHA seniors, would imagine there are a few players not in their senior season that may receive offers. Sustr for sure.
