wow good for him. Might get himself an nhl game at 29 years old.

Orland kid that went to Marist. He's a warm body, but good for him.

Also locks him in to Rockford for 2 more years. He leads the team just a few more points than Reichel. But they usually would lose the good vets after 1 year.

Good for David. Well deserved reward

 

[Mrfenn92]

He’s on the big roster

 

[clydesdale line]

Well deserved!

Roster already at 23 players. Someone going down or a trade?

Gust really stood out for the Wolves in the games I saw the previous season. His stats at Rockford speak for themselves.....not sure how his skillset translates to the NHL, but I like what I've seen from Seney and Philip in their short call ups.....glad to see a 29 year old get a chance, that's for sure!

 

[Northernhawk]

Umm

Predicted it! Remember some people saying no way, he’s too old...BOOM

Probably Reese Johnson to IR

Good for Gusty!

 

[MarotteMarauder]

Local kid gets a big payday playing hockey, gotta love it.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Marist?!?!

Now I must hate him.






j/k congrats to Mr. Gust.

 

[swerdnase]

Good for the local boy!

I'm guessing he gets a game, just because he's a local guy, and his career AHL numbers are good. Should be a fun experience for him.

I am always glad to see long term minor leaguers get a shot at the pros, even if it is only for a game or two.

Is it two more years or the rest of this and next?

This year and next year

This year and next year

Thanks

 

[Mrfenn92]

Thanks

No problem

Happy for him, but this will be no breeze. I wouldn't be surprised if the faster pace of the NHL left him a bit winded. His first puck battle will surely be a flurry of activity. He'll have a learning curve, so hopefully nobody here rushes to judgement and prematurely says that he blows. I won't accept outbursts like that.

I looked at this longer than I should have before it clicked.

 

[Giovi]

On waivers today.

 

[Kevin Musto]

On waivers today.

That would leave Chicago with 12 forwards.

Entwistle or Johnson coming off IR?
