2024 25 Prospect and Wranglers Thread

[Lunatik]

There's a few scenarios that could happen. One is they don't plan on re-signing him and as Lunatik said, give us a free trial to decide if we'll throw a 7th for him or something. Another option is they don't have room on their AHL team, but don't want him in the ECHL, and they ask a team like the Wranglers "hey you guys are kind of short on players, we have someone we think could use time in the AHL, but don't have space, if you want to use him you can"

maybe even a combination of both

Wranglers lose again to the Canucks in Abbotsford, this time getting shutout 1-0. Thought Calgary was the better team, just can't get anything to go in. Both goalies were good, Ignatjew started. Barrie left with an injury. Canucks scored on a PP jam play.

The key players for the Wranglers are all very young for the AHL so ultimately it's probably good for them to go through frustrating stretches. Morton and Kerins were trying but not a ton of gas. Thought all of Bru, Kuz, Solo were quality. Poirier a cpl dumb plays but did create a lot of chances. Frk, Stromgren, and Bell not good.

Think Ciona has improved from lastyear? Really hoping he can take that next step like he did the the Dub.

He was actually one of our best fwds tonight, but I would still say on the whole this season has been more of a modest improvement.

Skating is much better than it was last year, winning puck races and not falling behind the play as often. Setup his linemates several times, just missed on a cpl chances , getting more assertive with the puck. For a big tough kid would like to see him improve on the boards and get to the net more often.
