Is that loophole just for goalies or something?

I watched him this weekend and he was fantastic. He held his own against everyone that he practiced with and was the most impressive walk on goalie the Flames have had in the last 3 years. He did not look much worse than Kent Simpson if at all and he is 5 years younger than Simpson.

Glad the Flames inked him.

He came in and impressed. That's what you want from walk on guys. Play so well that you force the team to put pen to paper.

We have to have the most right catching goalies in the league at this point

No it is technically for all players for eligible who have been passed over in at least 1 draft and are still eligible for the next one.

There are some exceptions (e.g. Tkachev)

His numbers are fair for a 17 year old goalie in the dub and he's not undersized. Slightly odd that noone took a flier on him late in the draft, but good for us. Good eye by scouts inviting him to camp.

We used it to sign Turner Elson when he was 18 too.

Basically if you sign an undrafted 18 year old CHL player to a tryout you have the duration of the tryout to sign the player to an ELC. If you don't sign them they go back to junior and will re-enter the following draft.

This is one of those cases where online stats are pretty meaningless if this feller gets a contract. Yay. I know nothing about him, but keen to see what he is like.

From what I hear he was one of the more impressive goalie tryouts, so no surprise there.

He should see plenty of rubber with the Tigers in the Dub as their Number 1 goalie with Marek Langhamer no longer on the scene in Medicine Hat.

Now THIS is the correct way to get goalie prospects! No draft picks wasted!

Yup,
I would agree with this, if all pans out. I still think that Hiller gets dealt before the season starts. Someone will go down with injury and he will be needed.

Wait, why was it different for the Vladdy hockey guy last year? I thought this was the loop hole the oilers were going to use but they couldn't? something about him not playing in NA long enough maybe?

Only undrafted players who played in North America (and only in North America) the previous season are eligible to be signed between the draft and the start of the junior season. Tkachev had played 2 games in the KHL in 2013-14 before going to Moncton, so he was ineligible for this type of signing.

Saw him in camp live, on the side rink at the time where they had 2 goalies isolated with Sigalet. Also in scrimmage. He really played well

Except, you know, that you can only get those prospects who get passed over completely in their draft year.

I watched Nick Schneider a few times last year when he was back-up for Marek Langhammer for the Medicine Hat Tigers. Definitely has some skill, not easily rattled. He only played 27 regular seasons games and 0 playoff games last season. This season he will be #1 goalie for the tigers. Will be very enjoyable watching the Tigers in 2015/16
