Since he’s still on a 2-way deal, I expect he’ll remain with Coachella outside of injury call-ups to Seattle.
(As a reminder, two way contracts refer to different pay scales in the NHL vs the AHL and do not affect waivers)
Seattle does have a hole in the NHL D roster with Soucy almost certainly gone to free agency, so keep on the lookout for Francis to make a move to file that spot in the next several days.
good veteran depth we can call up from the AHL, I’d expect them to sign at least one more vet on a one-year two way deal since Ty Nelson won’t be able to play in the AHL for another year
this gives us the following depth on defense:
Established lineup(assuming we keep the RFA’s): Dunn, Larsson, Oleksiak, Borgen, Schultz
Fignting for last two spots: Evans, Megna, Fleury
AHL: Olofsson, Otavainen, Seppala
My inner Sounders fan was very confused for longer than I can justify upon reading this headline.
