Any chance Nardella makes the team out of camp?

Where?

 

[Hivemind]

Where?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say on defense. I don’t think he has a shot at the goalie spot.

He would need a convincing pre-season to supplant Fehervary and Alexeyev, but they have likely one (Chara) or possibly two (expansion draft) spots opening on D.

Ok, dude. I won't ask any questions anymore.

Almost none.

Congratulations to Spencer Carberry, but was hoping to see him continue his career in the Caps organization.

Actually at this point we may ask him to audition at Goalie.

Not a lot of organizational depth at RD so Franson is a great fit to help mentor the young guns

 

[Langway]

A LaDue replacement.

This dude really really loves hockey. He’ll be 38 this season and has made over $40M in career earnings and he’s back again for another season in the AHL.

I think he just really wants to win a championship. Plus, lots of former Hershey players and coaches love the area and all it provides for their families. Bruce lives in Hershey again from what I’ve heard. Maybe he’s a short term option to be behind Hershey’s bench until they can reevaluate candidates next year? Carbery moving on to Toronto so late really throws a wrench in their plans as a lot of outside candidates were already hired by other organizations. Really hoping they don’t give it to Patrick Wellar like the nostalgic fans are clamoring for.

Also, I’d suspect a high quality AHL forward signing today as part of free agency for Hershey. Gotta surround the young guys with some offensive help with the possibility of some Hershey forwards graduating.

I was thinking the same about BB as a possible choice behind the bench for the Bears. I also heard that he had moved back to the Hershey area. He's doing well as the talking head/spokesperson on the NHL Network as well as a weekly call in on the XM morning drivetime hockey show, but you can tell coaching is his first love.

How the hell is Bruce not coaching somewhere already.

How the hell is Bruce not coaching somewhere already.

I think its NHL or bust for Bruce, and despite winning at all three stops, a 4th stop can be tough to get. I imagine if an opening pops up mid season he'll be one of the strongest candidates considered.

I doubt he'd ever coach in the minors again... probably just be a TV guy instead.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Still hoping Hershey adds a forward at some point. Philly loaded up on AHL vets for Lehigh today. More firepower will certainly help all around. Believe they have one more spot for a veteran and room for one exempt veteran (off the top of my head)

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I truly hope Irwin is a Hershey signing. If he ends up playing over Fever I’m going to cry.

Coaching transactions: Bergin, Guite make moves

Former South Carolina head coach & ECHL coach of the year Steve Bergin to join Hershey's staff as an assistant. Guessing they've got a replacement for Carbery and just haven't announced it yet.

With Scott Allen & Patrick Wellar as the assistants, one of those two may be getting the head coaching job....

 

[Langway]

 

[hb12xchamps]

Allen makes sense given his experience and the fact that it’s so late in the process.

Wonder if Louis Robitaille interviewed at all. He’s seen as an up and comer and falls under the Bruce coaching tree.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Decent signing. Solid goal scorer at the AHL level.
