Yesterday’s news is no different.
According to a report from The Nation Network’s Jacob Stoller last night, the Maple Leafs are not expected to sign defence prospect, Fedor Gordeev or forward prospects, Ryan McGregor and Dakota Joshua to Entry-Level Contracts before their rights expire following the June 1st deadline. In light of this development, all three players will then become unrestricted free agents and will be granted the ability to sign with any of the 30 other NHL teams.
Can confirm that #Leafsforever will not be signing Fedor Gordeev & Ryan McGregor to ELC’s before the June 1st deadline, meaning they’ll enter the 2019 NHL draft.
