ECHL baby!

Seriously though... for the Isles...

It looks like they're gonna to have the following six Dmen opening in Bridgeport next season.

Wishart, de Haan, Katic, Ness, Klementyev, Donovan

In addition, they need to make a decision on Sim (NCAA kid who just finished his senior year and has NOT gotten an ATO) while Oshawa overager Tony DeHart is also ready for at least a two-way AHL/ECHL contract.

On top of that, before Ness and Donovan were signed, it was felt that Blake Kessel (junior at UNH) was the readiest NCAA Dman the Isles had, i.e. that he too would be signing on as soon as his season there was over. May still happen, although I'm thinking now that they'll be putting that on hold.

Any way you put it, that is ONE heck of a small, inexperienced and unaggressive blueline. I don't think a one of them is gonna be older than 23 by the beginning of next season, if even that.

For those thinking at least one of these kids will be on the Island, this may be the case should injuries set in, but the Isles ALREADY have the following NHL Dmen under contract next year:

Streit, Eaton, Jurcina, Hillen, Hamonic, MacDonald, Mottau

Word in Islanderville is that another midrange veteran WILL be sought out on the UFA market. Islander fans feel it MAY be McCabe.

Brian Day just completed college and had some interesting stats there, especially his sophomore and junior years. This ATO is a true ATO, as in the Isles really need to see what he brings to the table in 8-10 AHL contests. He now has 2-1-3 in 5 games. Anything more than a two-way AHL/ECHL contract is not expected.

The Sound Tigers have signed defenseman Matt Campanale and forward Chris Barton to ATOs, set to make pro debuts tonight in Portland.

Barton was Merrimack College's captain. Great player. Him and Da Costa were incredible together when they were linemates. Not seeing much of an NHL future for him though.

RPI defenseman and Moorhead alum Jeff Foss signs a pro contract and will reporter to Milwaukee (AHL), per RPI.

Chase Polacek a forward, joins the Peoria Rivermen

Good news about Polacek joining the Rivermen... he and his scoring touch will be welcome.

Add David Shields to the list in the OP; he signed an ATO with Peoria to take effect once Erie is eliminated from the OHL playoffs.

:(. Was hoping the Phantoms would get Polacek. Sigh... Glad to see two RPI guys get picked up though.

With the injuries/callups, I would had at least two or three dman. I believe that they could keep Wotton if he wants to return.
