Speculation: Hershey Bears/South Carolina Stingrays 2019-2020 Vol. 1

[hb12xchamps]

Fingers crossed for a Hershey depth move today. Pirri would be an awesome addition. Pirri for Bindulis heard it here first

 

[hb12xchamps]

Quick tidbits:
-Caps have a minor league deal to announce
-Siegenthaler papered to Hershey to be eligible for the CC playoffs
-LuJo back skating today
-Sgarbossa should be back this weekend

Happy trails Djoos

Hershey plays Charlotte tomorrow evening. Charlotte lost Priskie, Kuokkanen, Claesson and Luostarinen today via separate deals by the Canes and lost both of their AHL goaltenders this weekend. Going to be scrambling to get players

 

[hb12xchamps]

Hershey has until next Monday at 3pm to make some AHL level trades and set their Calder Cup Playoff roster. Wouldn't be surprised to see another forward addition. I'd welcome another solid center add so bump McCarthy out of the lineup full time.

 

[hb12xchamps]

4-1 so far. Snively with two. Nardella and Gersich with the others

 

[hb12xchamps]

Kale Kessy knocked out in a fight and apparently hit head on the ice and went unconscious. Called the period early and are apparently deciding if they will finish the game

Pinho scores the 6th and final goal of the night. His short handed goal gives Hershey a 6-1 win over Charlotte. Prospects get all the goals on the evening.

Snively 3+1
Nardella 1+1
Alexeyev 2 assists
Vanecek 22/23
Lewington went +6 on the night (not a typo)

No Sprong tonight?

Sweet Jeebus.

No, I'd expect Sprong to be in Hershey today for practice leading up to the weekend slate of games. Probably easier to get to Anaheim from Hershey (Harrisburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia airports all within driving distance) than to get from San Diego to Hershey.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Spring has made a splash with his new team when he gets traded. So I’d expect him to light it up over the weekend

With the AHL trade deadline quickly approaching, and with LuJo almost ready to being back on the ice, you would think that they have to move him, right? I see that this is his last year under contract and the last chance they will have to do so.

They could, but NHL prospects rarely getting moved at the AHL deadline. It's usually AHL contracts or AHL level only guys on 2-way deals that end up getting moved for one another. Essentially, the NHL club that holds the contract rights to a player "loans" them to Hershey and Washington would "loan" a player to the opposing team's AHL club.

Ah thank you. Makes sense.

Snively, do we have another Jeff Halpern in our midst. Another local boy making it with the hometown team.

Different kinda player for sure but he's got a chance the same way mathieu perreault had a chance. He could play one day just don't know that with a stacked team he finds a home on a higher line where he can be successful.

Quotes from Daniel Sprong via Chocolate Hockey:

“I’m an offensive guy. Over the last year and a half being in Anaheim and the NHL last year and San Diego this year, I was working on my two-way game. The eight games I was up this year I thought I played really well both sides of the puck. I’m just trying to keep working on that.”

While Hershey is looking to continue their success at the top of the Atlantic Division, head coach Spencer Carbery’s goal is to help get Sprong back to the NHL.

“The organization brought in a really good young prospect that’s played in the National Hockey League,” said Carbery. “What my job and his job coming into this organization is: where are you at in your career, what’s keeping you out of the NHL, and how can we help get you there. It’s more ‘What do we need to do to help Daniel Sprong?’ Then we’ll integrate him into the lineup and into spots to set him up to have success and ultimately help our team win hockey games.”

Sprong will be in Europe next season.

 

[kicksavedave]

Sprong will be in Europe next season.

Harsh, why do you say that? Because you think he will crash out of our system, or because that's the best place for him to become a better two way player?

 

[JohnCarlsaurus]

Sprong will be in Europe next season.

I assume you mean because he's too good for the AHL but not good enough to stay in the NHL. It's possible but I don't think it will happen (at least that quickly). I bet he gets re-signed for at least another couple seasons based on his potential (perceived or otherwise)

 

[Ridley Simon]

I think he can be a Connolly type. We will see

Maybe, but I doubt with the Caps. His best path might be Europe to score some goals and create some traction to come back.

He is very one dimensional and there is no place for him in D.C. so I don't see why he, or his agent, would want to stay in our system.
