Saw a few tweets mentioning his name today, looks like we still have his rights for a little bit longer.

We've received many asking us why Markus Niemelainen is not on our list.
- He was drafted out of the OHL in 2016 giving EDM a 2 yr window
- After yr 1 he was given a bona fide offer
- He then left the OHL in yr 2 for Europe which extended EDM's window to sign him to June 1, 2020

Oilers have 2016 third-rounder Markus Niemelainen's rights until 2020 because while he was a Euro drafted out of OHL he went back to Finland last season. He won't be in the 2018 draft as an unsigned player. His game has to get much better to get signed however
