noticed on CapFriendly, a couple college UFAs have signed.
Drew Bavaro, defensemen from Notre Dame signed with Chicago.
Christian Felton, defensemen from Merrimack signed with Vancouver.
Both received $92.5K signing bonuses, which seemed to be the price to pay to secure college UFAs last spring.

Teams are being eliminated from their conference playoffs, so I'd expect a few more to trickle in over the next few days and weeks.
Conference playoffs will conclude this coming weekend, followed by Frozen Four regionals at the end of the month. By then only 4 teams will remain, so majority of college season's will be done. Frozen Four takes place April 11-13.

Quote from Brad Pascal in this Morton article sounds like they may be targeting only one more guy beside Morton.

“Traditionally, we don’t go after 10 college free agents — we try to target one or two, and he was one of the guys that we targeted,” said Flames assistant general manager Brad Pascall.

Luke Krys is a name that shows up on some of the published lists. He signed with Dallas today.

FYI: signing bonuses are capped at 10% of annual compensation on ELCs. They're not really anything teams can adjust or dangle to get UFAs to sign if they're within their ELC years.

There is a guy putting up some solid numbers and only 21, right shot RW/C

Flames could sure use that in the system

So...Rangers, Hawks, Bruins or one of the Florida teams probably?

Graf could be the next Spencer Foo.

Just putting it in perspective.

Friedman in his 32 thoughts article thinks that the Pens may take a run at Graf.

the top 4 scorers in the NCAA that year each had 60+ points, and were all college UFAs. Zach Aston-Reese ended up having the most "success". The others were Foo, Mike Vecchione and Tyler Kelleher.

These guys were not drafted for a reason, but it is still fun to hope for a 'free asset' who becomes something

edit. Foo was highly sought after. If I recall, the Flyers, Red Wings and Oilers were all after him.

Yeah, usually these guys just end up as AHL depth... but occasionally you get a Tyler Bozak or Jimmy Vesey who have a nice long career in the NHL. And hey... they're "free".

The flames 89 team had 5 undrafted NCAAers in the lineup the night of the shiny thing - those were the days !

Plus assets acquired by trading other undrafted NCAAers in their stead. Pretty much how Cliff Fletcher turned the team into a contender.

The Flames were way ahead of most of the NHL scouting/management teams in recognizing the talent in American college hockey.

Looks like Veremyev isn't ready to go pro yet.
