So by my count: Khovanov, Giroux, Boudrias, Lodnia and Addison should all be making the jump to the AHL next year. Filip Johansson is also possible (I'd get him out of Sweden and start being more hands on). Possibly Boldy from the way he was talking about being one and done earlier. Anybody else I'm missing? I doubt Hentges would make the jump yet. Beckman can't.
For forwards? Or what? Because Hunter Jones is probably going to make the jump. Don't think McBain will. Dark horse, Bryce Misley?
Why would Hunter Jones make the jump?
Jones is having a tough-go this season. I don’t think he would do well in the AHL next year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets the opportunity to backup Robson
He started strong but has been sub .900 since getting cut from Canada’s WJC team. Even then, being the 6th best goalie in a 20 team league isn’t a sure-fire “he needs to move on” situation. Tough-go maybe wasn’t the right phrase, I would just keep him in the OHL if Peterborough would take him back.6th in save % and 5th in GAA. Is that a tough go?
I think Jones depends on if Dubnyk sticks around. He's not going to jump to go play in the ECHL.
I don’t know how often college players openly talk about their plans for going pro during the season. I could see Newhook going to the AHL, but I wouldn’t say this a sure thing.What’s Newhooks plans for next year? I wonder if that’ll impact what Matt decides to do. Anyway I’d love to see Khovy and Boldy down the middle next year as 1 and 2 in Iowa
As of now, Boldy has tied Firstov with 23 points in 31 games on the season, pending what happens the second half of this game. If he keeps up this 2 ppg pace for the last few games, he could turn this into a really respectable season, numbers-wise.
30 points would be nice. That’s kinda the threshold I’d like to see. Kinda crazy that a month ago he had 4 pointsAs of now, Boldy has tied Firstov with 23 points in 31 games on the season, pending what happens the second half of this game.

Imagine if he wasn't snakebit for the first ~12.
