Nailers Announce 2013-14 Season-Ending Roster
June 16, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers, proud ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens, have announced their Season-Ending Roster for the Summer of 2014. The roster consists of 18 players - two shy of the maximum number allowed by the ECHL.
The Season-Ending Rosters may include up to 20 players, but cannot include players who did not sign an ECHL contract during the 2013-14 season. From this list, teams are entitled to reserve the rights to a maximum of eight players, by extending a qualifying offer to them by July 1st. No more than four of the eight can be veterans (260 regular season professional hockey games), players on open qualifying offers cannot be traded, and if a player signs a contract prior to July 1st, that team does not have to extend a qualifying offer to said player. If a player does receive a qualifying offer, that offer remains open for acceptance until August 1st.
Last Friday was the ECHL's deadline to complete any trades involving future considerations, and the Nailers were silent on that front. Also, as of Monday, ECHL teams are now allowed to sign players. Each signing must be approved by the ECHL, and will be announced by each respective club, following the approval of the transaction.
The Wheeling Nailers Season-Ending Roster consists of the following players:
D Jake Areshenko
