The big decision will be on whether to sign Johan Ryno, although all signs indicate Detroit would like to renew the big 6′5″ forward’s contract. Jim Nill, a vice president who is in charge of scouting, has suggested that the team will also sign Igor Grigorenko and will finally bring him over to play in North America. Here are some of the other players RWC thinks are not likely to earn a new contract:
Of the remaining prospects, defenseman Jeff May has the best shot at signing, but might end up a victim of a numbers game. Blueliners Bretton Stamler and Juho Mielonen and forwards Christofer Lofberg, Andreas Sundin, Stefan Blom, Tomas Kollar and Mikael Johansson will likely move on.
The season for at least one player in the minors has come to an end. Jan Mursak, who had a brilliant rookie campaign in Saginaw, had a rough playoff series and the the Spirit was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
