With news breaking yesterday that Thomas Chabot was not likely to play another pre-season game this year, it was expected his reassignment to the QMJHL's Saint John Sea Dogs was going to happen at any point. The reassignment came this morning, but Chabot gets a great parting gift in the form of a three year entry level contract. The deal is a max level ELC - $925k NHL salary, $70k AHL salary.
Chabot is widely considered to have had a very good camp, and the team obviously agreed given this contract and the delay in sending him back to junior.
