• Dylan Wendt and Tyler Brennan have been loaned to Utica”
• Michael Hutchinson released from his PTO

Mburanumwe seemed to have some good highlights from the prospects camp. Too bad he didn’t stick. Would have thought he’d at least be good enough for Adirondack.

Don't know where they got the idea for him. Maybe a favor to him or someone. He's released and that's probably the last we see of him. The Thunder were good last year and return their nucleus. They'll be forced to take what Jersey/Utica sends them. Don't think they had room for him.

He was committed to McGill University and that seems to be his career path; taking advantage of his CHL package and basically getting his education for free. Beats traveling on busses in the ECHL for minimal pay.

I was aware of the McGill U committment, but didn't know how he managed to get an invite to the rookie camp and then onto the Devils main camp roster. He wasn't drafted and ran out of Jr eligibility so chose University, as you say, over ECHL bus travel.

With Fitz's new fetish for size, Igor's 6'5" frame on a 20 -yr old with plenty of time to tack on some weight might have been the Devils' incentive to take a look.
