Montreal Canadiens‘ 7th round pick in the 2014 draft (#207 overall), 4th year center Jake Evans(71) gets a new 3-year deal to continue his progress with the Le-Bleu-Blanc-Rogue.

He skated a career high 47 NHL games last seasons, scoring 3 goals and 10 assists with a +2 rating to earn his new $1.7M AAV deal .

The former University Of Notre Dame Fighting Irish forward was a big scorer as senior team captain (46 points in 40 games) and also reached the 40-point mark as a junior.

He was also a point-per-game player in two years of juniors for St. Michael’s Buzzers and won the 2013 OJHL Championship in his first campaign there.

The 25-year old hopes to be just getting started.

This season he is flirting with career high numbers and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the current session, so the only team he’s ever suited up for offers him 4-years at $2.8M AAV to stay and he will continue to wear the Canadiens‘ colors.

RPI Engineers‘ sophomore left wing Henri Schreifels(20) heads into the transfer portal and comes out for 2023/2024 at Stonehill College Skyhawks.

The 6’1″ 194 lbs. forward has exactly been a stellar scorer with 1 goal last season in 21 games, but we’re thinking his new school’s schedule will likely see that open up for him.

He was a dominant scorer in his 2nd BCHL frame for Victoria Grizzlies, connecting for 24 goals and 21 assists.

We see the 23-year old from Agoura Hills, CA settling in nicely at his new college home.

After a senior year with a new college best 12 assists and 18 points, he signs a 1st pro deal with Wheeling Nailers, that should turn out pretty well for the two.

University Of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers‘ freshman right wing Bennett Stockdale(26) was able to score a pair of goals in only 15 NCAA Division 1 WCHA games.

The Ottawa, ON native skated a couple of seasons in the close by CCHL for Kanata Lasers before taking it to America and up a level in two seasons with Johnstown Tomahawks, where he struck for a total of 29 goals and 52 assists in 110 NAHL games before committing.

We think the 5’11” 185 lbs. forward is probably just getting himself situated before he starts affecting the score sheet.

He moves on and is a big scorer at SUNY-Plattsburgh Cardinals before turning pro with Maine Mariners, which yields good results in 3 goals and 7 assists in 18 games to earn himself a return visit for 2024/2025.

In his 2nd season, he comes away with 1 goal and 3 assists in 14 games, but is traded off to Indy Fuel.

Through 23 games, he gets no goals and 3 assists with a -3 rating and is traded to Worcester Railers to see if they can get him scoring again.

Winnipeg Jets 5th round pick in the 2019 draft (#144 overall) goaltender Logan Neaton(31) isn’t finding enough space in the cage for UMass Lowell Riverhawks, so after two tries goes through the transfer portal to commit to Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks for 2021/2022.

The large 6’4″ 205 lbs. net minder maybe wasn’t able to settle in Hockey East play after putting up stellar numbers, first for Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the NAHL, then even better with Prince George Spruce Kings going 32-8-5 with a league best 1.92 GAA, then posting a 16-1 mark with a 1.46 GAA and .940 SV% en route to a 2019 BCHL Championship.

He also had shutdown numbers at his local Brighton High USHS-MI.

The 22-year old may just need the belief he can play the minutes and backstop wins.

For his rookie season, he bounces around some ECHL teams to arrive at Kalamazoo Wings with a deal for 2024/2025.

Allen Americans are struggling some, so trade to bring him in to hopefully solidify the starter’s role with the team.

He continued to move and ended up with Kansas City Mavericks, where in 1 start he didn’t post the win, but had a 2.08 GAA and .938 SV%.

4 times moved with little starts and he goes to Indy Fuel, who hopefully look to use him a bit more.

9th year, veteran defenseman Seth Helgeson(2) recently appeared in his 500th AHL game with 5th year club, Bridgeport Islanders.

The 6’4″ 216 lbs. blue liner was originally a New Jersey Devils‘ 4th round pick in the 2009 draft (#114 overall) and played in their system for his first 4 seasons.

He skated his only games in the big league with the team and even got a 1st NHL goal in his 44th appearance, where he also had 3 assists and almost oddly a +1 rating.

The former 4-year University Of Minnesota Golden Gophers‘ d-man has never been a big point scorer, but does have 2 goals in the current frame.

If he adds another one, he will have a career high 3.

He’s 3 times had 10+ assists in the league and twice close.

The 31-year old has done well for himself and it’s a bit of wonder if he doesn’t go exploring for his next contract, just for some different kind of fun in the game.

For 2022/2023, he re-signs to stay in Connecticut another season.

He will return to captain the little Islanders for a 7th straight run.

It took him a minute, but he will return on a pto for a 8th season in a little Islanders‘ jersey, but you got to figure, unless he decides not to, he will sign.

And 7 games in, he officially re-signs.

Islanders HC 3rd year right wing Jack Roberts(10) takes some impressive Premier junior numbers, 19 goals and 37 assists in 37 games to a 2025/2026 commit at Manhattanville University Valiants.

The 5’11” 179 lbs. forward started with the Elite club, but rolled 10 goals and 8 assists in 11 games to score a permanent call up.

From Middlefield, CT, the 20-year will be a welcome scorer for his new college club.
