Another day closer to the start of the 2018-19 hockey season, and minor league organizations are still filling out their rosters. We’ll keep track of the day’s minor signings right here:
- The Rochester Americans have signed Myles Powell to a one-year AHL contract, giving him his first full-season opportunity in professional hockey. After having a great season for the Rochester Institute of Technology last year, he joined the Americans on a tryout contract and played in four games. The 5’9″ forward put up 39 points in 37 games for RIT in 2017-18, and should give the Americans some more depth up front this season.
- Max Talbot has mutually terminated his contract with Lokomotiv in the KHL, ending his two-year run with the team. The 34-year old played over 700 games in the NHL before heading overseas, and will need to find a new home if he’s to continue his playing career. Whether that could indicate a return to North America isn’t clear, but after struggling for the Boston Bruins in 2015-16 it’s unlikely he ever sees the NHL again.
