Yep, saw that bag-skating clip of him being a bit ahead of the others.
But Fulp's first pro season, as what, a 23/24-year-old, was absolutely nothing to write home about.
I mean, those 5 points in 50 games were also accompanied by a -22 rating. Brutal!
Hutton doesn't really have stats that south of the border. A -5 was the worst he ever had. Even had a plus rating in 21/22 and 22/23. Only had 5 points in 21/22, but that was the Covid-induced 24-game season.
Sure, here's hoping Fulp (and like anyone else down there) puts in a big season and turns himself into some kind of option down the road. Would be great.
I'm thinking that Hutton and Cholowski will have to be the go-to guys down there. Newpower is the only guy brought in as a free agent from the outside, but he looks like he's little more than a 2-year older version of Mitchell and Fulp.
I guess much of the hope for the blueline is being placed in Warren and George (who I personally wanted to see back in London). They'll be perhaps the best skaters down there (along with Cholowski), although I seem to remember Warren's skating being a bit choppy.
They also brought over Rajaniemi on an AHL deal. Dunno if he'll be with Bridgeport or Worcester? But he's a redwood and has 4(!) full seasons of pro play under his belt.
BPort had signed low-scoring Providence captain Cam MacDonald (1-6-7 as a senior).
A couple of these guys will surely end up in Worcester if everyone is healthy, which only has 6 Dmen of its own.
PS) If you're wondering what happened to Trevor Cosgrove, who went 12-27-39 in 59 ECHL games last season, he took his act to Sweden where he's playing in the 2nd tier pro league "HockeyAllsvenskan". Had 2 points in his first game.
