June 1: As of 5 p.m. ET on June 1, none of the below players were signed and all are either free to re-enter the draft or become free agents.
May 26: When drafting a player out of North America or any European country with a transfer agreement, a team acquires exclusive negotiating rights for a set amount of time. Each year on June 1, a long list of players see those rights expire and become unrestricted free agents (or choose to re-enter the draft, depending on specific circumstances).
CapFriendly has compiled a complete list for the deadline in just a few days. Some players listed below have already signed overseas; others will have agreements announced soon after their current rights expire.

65th overall the best one out there for those wondering

Look again
In Pawtuckets defense, Grubbe probably is better than Roger.
I’m embarrassed
everybody looks better than Roger. how was he a 2nd rounder?
Puistola got back on a reasonable developmental track, so Holland might wanna get on that or someone else will.
Forgot to also mention Mantykivi – very solid playoff run, may still pan out as well.

Translation: a whole lot of guys whom almost no one’s ever heard of outside their families and fans of their respective junior teams.
Gotta love the name of Cameron Whynot who when Calgary drafted him they justified their selection with Why Not?
Could be worse. It must have been hell to be 2005 draftee Wacey Rabbit, growing up.
Conroy – doesn’t look like we are going to get a deal done with him
Fan base – Whynot?
