As the NHL gets ready for their upcoming postseason, minor league clubs are preparing for next season. When some minor signings come in we’ll keep track of them right here.
- Jordan Szwarz, who played mostly for the Belleville Senators this season, has signed with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL for 2020-21. Szwarz scored 36 points in 46 games for Belleville, but actually also got into three contests with the Ottawa Senators. Those weren’t his first opportunities in the NHL, as he’s now totaled 50 games at the highest level.
- The Iowa Wild have signed four new contracts, adding Phil Beaulieu, Kameron Kielly, Jesse Mychan, and Josh Maser on AHL deals. All four contracts are just for one year as the organization keeps adding to their depth for the upcoming season. For everyone but Mychan, who won the Kelly Cup with the Colorado Eagles in 2018, this will be their first opportunity in professional hockey.
- Speaking of the Eagles, Matt Abt and Ian Scheid have both signed with Colorado for the upcoming season. Abt spent the last two seasons with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, while Scheid is coming out of Minnesota State University (Mankato).
