There’s plenty of room for the TJ Tynan’s of the world to make it a career out of being a AHL legend. The vet rule is over blown. It doesn’t count ECHL games and their number doesn’t accrue in season. A guy like Jacob MacDonald wasn’t even over the vet limit his first time with the org. Maybe there isn’t room for AHL third liners to be veterans but there’s enough room for them to take the major roles. If they truly wanted to be a “development league” they should cap it at max 5 guys not on ELC but that would never happen.I mean, it's a developmental league (cue Tigervixxen snickering in background) so it makes sense they'd have rules in place for that. Unless this is a recent development I don't believe it prevents veterans like Mike McKenna, Cody McLeod, Darren Haydar, and Brian Willsie from having very long and successful AHL careers.
At this point...who is surprised?Behrens out for the season… worst fears on the practice injury were true.
Those that predict perfect health for this team.At this point...who is surprised?
You must be a rookie Av fan just getting into hockey to believe that lol. Do we know the injury? Please tell me it is not a torn MCL, ACL, or Shoulder.Those that predict perfect health for this team.
Yet every year we see a bunch of ‘when we get healthy’ posts.You must be a rookie Av fan just getting into hockey to believe that lol. Do we know the injury? Please tell me it is not a torn MCL, ACL, or Shoulder.
E: Nevermind, just saw it in the injury thread.
Zero. If he ever suits up for an NHL game, that team is in some severe troubleAny expectations for Trent miner when it comes to being an nhl goalie? He seemingly, looking at numbers at least, had a nice season last year in minimal starts. Nice first game last night too…
Anyways just curious
He’s better than Mandolese. Miner has always been underrated, he could be a solid career 3/4 goalie if given the chance.Any expectations for Trent miner when it comes to being an nhl goalie?

Even if he wasn't injured, his showing in the preseason eliminated all real chance he had.
So, on a scale of 1-10 how injured is Foudy? I haven't seen any news
