Decisions pending for players on entry-level contracts
10-game deadline looms for Dahlin of Sabres, Kotkaniemi of Canadiens, among others
by Adam Kimelman @NHLAdamK / NHL.com Deputy Managing Editor
Max Comtois, LW, Anaheim Ducks
So far: Comtois, 19, started the season in the NHL in part because of injuries to forwards Patrick Eaves, Ondrej Kase and Corey Perry. But he scored 49 seconds into the season opener against the Sharks on Oct. 3 and is tied for first on the Ducks with seven points (two goals, five assists) in nine games. He's scheduled to play his 10th game against the Blackhawks at United Center on Tuesday.
Staying or going: Staying. Comtois has done well in a second-line role with center Adam Henrique and is getting power-play time. He led Ducks forwards with 17:34 of ice time and had an assist in a 4-1 win against the New York Islanders on Wednesday.
Isac Lundestrom, C, Anaheim Ducks
So far: Like Comtois, Lundestrom, 18, turned a strong preseason and injuries to several veteran Ducks forwards into a chance to make the opening-night roster. He's lasted because he's shown he can play center or left wing and not look out of place in either spot. He has one assist in seven games and is scheduled to play his 10th game against the San Jose Sharks at Honda Center on Oct. 28.
Staying or going: Likely going. Lundestrom's versatility works in his favor, but as the Ducks get healthy and Nick Ritchie, who signed a three-year contract Wednesday, gets into the lineup, Lundestrom's ice time of 14:45 per game likely will shrink. He'd be better served playing a top-six role with San Diego of the AHL or Lulea in his native Sweden rather than a diminished role in the NHL.
De släpper troligen Isac, tror han. Jag hade fått för mig att det skulle bli Luleå i så fall. Jävligt svårt att tro att han kan utvecklas bättre i AHL med San Diego Gulls. Det skulle i så fall vara för att Anaheim räknar med att ta upp honom till NHL senare. Låter inte som ett bra alternativ. Det tackar vi nej till, tycker jag.
