Players leaving early

[Hrkac_Circus]

I was just wondering if you guys think that anybody will leave early after this season.

Also i was wondering if anybody knew who all signed letters of intent to come play here. I saw the people from the ushl but i was wondering if there was anybody else

Here's an article from the Herald about the players that signed.

It is only my guess from the outside, here, that David Hale is the big chance to leave early. Sounds like he is having a great season. However, hope that is not the case. We could use him around for another year, like all of them.

My first guess(es) would be also David, and maybe Ryan, Hale. I think that while David has shown a great defensive style we were all expecting, he would really need to put up some numbers of offense to set him apart from the guys NJ has on its team now, and it the pipeline. Otherwise, he might be stuck in the AHL for awhile.

Doesn't NJ also have the rights to DeMarchi and Paul Martin of Minnesota?

My best guess of players leaving early would only be David Hale, and IF, he did leave, I don't think at this point in time it would be the smartest move he could make, unless his offensive numbers get a little better. Personally I think David is actually looking forward to playing another year with brother Ryan, they have good chemistry (obviously) and they are both good team leaders that can make an impact in the coming year.
