We know that there are a few players from the 2018 edition of Team Canada Junior who were recently found not guilty under the conditions we know about, so this opens the door to their return to the NHL. And on that subject, David Pagnotta has reported that the Hurricanes, according to the rumor mill, should be in a position to sign Michael McLeod down the road.

How outraged will Carolina be if this is confirmed? That’s a good question, but it also raises the question of how much the guys in the locker room might accept this decision. Would that be a problem? Who knows. Remember that the Devils’ former first-round pick played in Russia last year, if he didn’t make the NHL. But he’ll be able to sign as of October 15, despite being suspended until December 1. content-ads]In Pagnotta’s tweet, he also mentioned that Carter Hart could join him in Carolina, given the Hurricanes’ interest in the goalie. A lot of clubs are on his case, though. And I don’t know how much a club wants to sign two of these guys at the same time.

Let’s not forget that ÉCJ players are not expected to sign in Canada, but that doesn’t stop several teams from being on the case of goaltender Hart, who has the biggest talent of the group.

He could even sign a contract for more than a year. But that’s to be followed in due course. [spacer title=’Overtime’]- Well done.
