Not sure if he will get a contract offer, with all the recent arbritation raises coming and teams now seeming to want to sign free agents in their system will there be room under the caps even though the caps are larger to sign someone like slade ? Also understand even if signed and they don,t make the NHL team they once again come back to junior rather then AHL like the old days. Why sign , u can wait and then see how he does do in junior and sign him before the deadline next year if he does what you expect as an owner.
