Jerry D’Amigo Set To Sign With The Maple Leafs

According to numerous sources, including the Canadian Press, the Toronto Maple Leafs and prospect Jerry D’Amigo are expected to finalize a three year entry level deal sometime this week.  The move would see D’Amigo forfeit his NCAA eligibility and likely join the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League, who own his CHL rights.

D’Amigo, drafted in the sixth round of last year’s entry draft, has quickly rocketed to the top of the prospect depth chart over the past year.  He played an integral role in the USA’s World Junior upset over Canada this past January in Saskatchewan.

    Preliminary report on The Fan says arbitrator rules in league favour, not confirmed yet.

    re Kovi—-the longer this is delayed, the more one gets the impression that the Arbitrator has sided with the NHL and has also told both sides to regegotiate say a 12yr contract and NJ might not want to do that-and the delay is in NJ’s court

    If the NHLPA had won, the decision could have been released before 10am

    dumb idea to grieve this in the first place imo–also unwise to allow it as next yr’s deal will be even materially worst than kovi

    I want Damigo to go the OHL, rack up 100 points, be america’s captain, loose 4-3 in the gold medal game to Canada and be top 5 points for the tourny. Then the following year go to the AHL rip it up and possibly have a call up. Its been a while since T.O has drafted a top 6 forward in the later rounds…

    League can fine and/or take draft picks from the Devils as a result of this decision, Kovalchuk back on the market.

    My guess is he has a back-up deal already in place with the Devils and will sign quickly, but again that is strictly a guess

    @ ingy56:
    I hope you’re right but it took so long to negotiate the first one, I wonder if they are even in a position to negotiate another? I wonder if he’d turn around and accept a previous LA offer?

    I think at this juncture its safe to assume LA are out of the Kabs stakes, and likely a couple of other teams… the question is what the knock on effect for whats on the table and the duo of trades Burke’s corner was hinting at.
