Harkins continues to pile up the points. Kind of surprised Spacek got called up instead.
Surprising too but with the Jets having offensive struggles, Spacek might be someone who can do something out there. He is a more creative player.
I also wonder if the Moose are trying to build chemistry. That is part of the development aspect.
Right now Chibisov-Harkins-Griffith have been leading the way. Keep building chemistry and they could make the jump as a line.
Also Veselainen seems to be going with Suess, and one of my faves, Skylar Mc Kenzie. These are better lines that what I saw earlier in the year. Conceivable that the former 2 could also make the jump in the internal competition.
Spacek was already getting lost in the mix, centering the 3rd line on the Moose. Might as well give him a chance in the bigs, as I think the spot to replace is Logan Shaw's, on the right side. Be surprised if he started at centre. But Spacek also has some chemistry with Apples from previous years, so maybe he slides in to Gustafsson's spot at some point.
I was looking around at some of the other rosters in the AHL Central and really the Moose probably have the best prospect pool in the division, Grand Rapids and San Antonio have some young stars, but we have quite a few young players developing on the farm, and I think that bodes well for the future, as well as the present.
