Today, the New Jersey Devils had to sign Brandon Baddock, Ryan Rehill, and/or Connor Chatham to retain their rights after two seasons in the major junior leagues. The Devils announced they signed Baddock and not the other two. This is a reaction to this unnecessary signing.
Today was the final day for unsigned major junior prospects from the 2014 NHL Draft to be signed by their respective teams to maintain their rights. It is not exactly the biggest day of the offseason. Most of the top prospects picked in that or any other draft would have already signed a contract with whoever picked them.
