It's highly unlikely that either forward Julien Pelletier (fourth round) or defenseman Olivier Leblanc (seventh round), both taken in the 2014 NHL Draft, will be signed by the team. As a result, they will re-enter the draft pool and be available for selection at next month’s draft in Buffalo.
Here’s how it breaks down: NHL teams have until the second June 1 after a player is drafted out of North American junior hockey to get them under contract. If the player is drafted out of Europe, they have until the fourth June 1 following his draft unless the player is 20 years of age or older, in which case it’s the second June 1.
