So what do people think of Ryan Johnson now? He was always lauded by people in the organization before and after the regime change but he was vilified by Utica fans because they thought he was incompetent. Maybe he was stretched too thin with too many responsibilities in Utica?
Hard to find a young player on the Abbotsford Canucks who didn't take a big step forward this season.
The best of the lot was probably Silovs.....but props to the likes of Bains, Karlsson, Klimovich, Rathbone and Nielson. And next season, guys like McDonough, McWard, Johannson, Sasson and possible Hirose, will be players to closely watch.
Really that's all an NHL team can expect from it's AHL affiliate.....that the kids they send there all show improvement in their games.
