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.Orland kid that went to Marist. He's a warm body, but good for him.
Probably Reese Johnson to IRRoster already at 23 players. Someone going down or a trade?
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.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.
Is it two more years or the rest of this and next?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.

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