Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 I think it means that Red Wings owns his rights for three years but he can be assigned wherever they see fit, including the minors. All reports have this kid to be the bomb. Looking forward to see him climb up the ranks. The hockey gods know we need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juklitz 85 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 No, can´t play for GR as per CHL-NHL agreement. Next year is his 20yo season, so he could be sent to minors. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 Yeah, he can't turn pro for another couple seasons, unless he were to make the Wings before then (not going to happen). Regardless nice to see the kid ink his first contract with Detroit. Can't wait to watch him in Grand Rapids in a couple years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
