Probably worth noting that I seen Elmer play perhaps a half dozen times while he was here with the Storm. I don't follow the team closely, but I don't remember him as being even an above average player.

I have some serious doubts that a kid who never stood out at that level has suddenly put it all together and is tracking toward the NHL, and I think it's far more likely that this past season was a flash in the pan. But I'm rooting for the kid to be the 1-in-a multitude that follows that career trajectory.

he's one of those players you sign and maybe something happens but right now, I think most of our expectations are low. Girardi was an under the radar signing at first. Vinni Letteri is decent for HFD and the occasional callup. He could end up a no-one like (well, can't remember the nobody signings). Elmer, it's too early to tell.

couldn't resist the bump

positive headlines for this guy while on his NYR ELC are rare
.... and endangered
(likely extinct come July non-tender,
w Othmann, Rempe, Cuylle, Edstrom, Henriksson ... Vierling, ... maybe even a guy like Cicc or Aaltonen ... joining the local pro ranks)




Update, opps, sorry, StatBoy is teaching me, likely not Aaltonen, or maybe Edstrom, as ElitePropspects indicate both signed at home for '22-23
