[Body Checker]

Flames have three on Button’s Top 50 NHL affiliated prospects; one is a shocker -

37. Stromgren (wowsers)
42. Battaglia

The Wranglers have signed an interesting player to a PTO: the pride of Camrose, Alberta, 25 year old, 6’0”, 185 lb Kyler Kupka.

The left-shot center has been on a hot streak, tallying 27 points in his last 21 games; he has 26 goals and 51 points in 49 games this season with the South Carolina Stingrays, and was just named ECHL Player of the Week.

Wranglers get slapped around 4-1 in Coachella Valley to start their road trip after losing both b2b games at home to the Reign in OT last weekend. Cooley was good, they just got dominated structurally, outshot badly after the 1st which ended tied after Frk put in his own rebound. Forwards weren't good, defense other than Aspirot and maybe Kuznetsov were poor in coverage and struggled to make it into the OZ. Jurmo is hopeless, would be very surprised if he ever suits up in a NHL game.

Honzek probably our most noticeable forward, carried the puck well but sometimes should just fire a high hard one in there rather than try to beat a 2nd or 3rd guy. Morton was alright, lots of other guys got swallowed up. Firebirds are a team with a lot of guys that have tons of NHL games, they have our number.

With how much movement and turmoil with the coaches even the club has gone through and also considering they've put up a nice comfortable pt total so far not super surprised to see the team hit the skids a bit. Definitely missed Solo and Hunt.

I haven’t watched nearly as much Wranglers hockey as I did last year, so appreciate the intel on Jurmo.
