Chicago Blackhawks to lose two key prospects in one transaction
26 NHL Prospects will have their exclusive signing rights expire next month, on the 15th.
These exclusive signing rights will expire on one of the most important days of the off-season for NHL teams.
Kelley registered two assists and was a team-best +5 in the Friars' 7-1 victory over Stonehill in their home-opener last Friday night. His +5 rating is tied for the team lead and he also leads all Friars with nine blocked shots.
This day involves NHL prospects who will be exiting their final year of college, and when their signing rights expire they enter free agency as UFAs.
This year will involve a whopping total of 26 prospects whose exclusive signing rights will expire including Blackhawks prospects Connor Kelley and Liam Gorman.

It'll be difficult to see who ends up signing an ELC with their drafting team, as we cannot predict the future. But there's always a chance for them to hit the open market, especially if their development path has changed, or the teams cap situation is not so great.
