No Word on Kelsey Tessier

We're still trying to find official (or unofficial) confirmation, but it does not appear that Kelsey Tessier has been signed by the Avalanche by the June 1st deadline. It had already been reported that Peter Delmas would not be signed, but there was some thought that the the Avalanche would sign Tessier. If I understand the CBA correctly, Tessier and Delmas will both go back into the draft this summer.
Tessier is a 5'9" center drafted in the 4th round of the 2008 draft. He scored 53 points in 54 games in the QMJHL last year (playing for Patrick Roy's Quebec Remparts and the Moncton Wildcats).

At a couple of Avs’ camps and the few CHL games I saw Tessier play in I never saw anything special. Very quick, good puck handler who could creat opportunities. But his size prevents him from fighting through traffic and in the corners. If the Avs don’t sign him I can’t see where it would be any great loss.
I agree too, but i thought he’d be a decent AHL option at least though, especially considering the lack of forwards in LE currently. still mildly puzzling.
Maybe they are planning on trading down in this draft and stocking up on players? Only a guess though.

Per THN...
Tessier went unsigned and will re-enter the Draft…

Kovie Kovie Kovie. That is all.
The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, "I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it."
Screw the Wings.
You make an excellent point. But may I add: Kovie.

Question
If a player like Tessier is unsigned, do they have to go back into the draft or can they sign with another team as a free-agent?

Found an interesting article on PPP regarding second drafts. I think you’ll all recognize at least one of the names on that second chance list….

Didn’t know that about Anderson. Wow. I thought Scott Parker was a second chance draft pick too, and even thought Kurt Sauer was actually drafted by the Avs twice? Just from memory though, and they weren’t on the list for some reason.

Sauer (from NHL.com):
Signed as a free agent by Anaheim, July 6, 2002. Traded to Colorado by Anaheim with Anaheim’s 4th round choice (Raymond Macias) in 2005 Entry Draft for Martin Skoula LOL!, February 21, 2004. Signed as a free agent by Phoenix, July 1, 2008.
Looks like Parker was a 1st rounder for COL in 1998 and played for COL and Hershey that year.

And a 3rd rounder before that.
