Goodbye Bridgeport 13s, hello Bridgeport FishsticksMuch better than the B in my opinion.

It's only the home jersey for the first half of the season. Whites are the home jersey in the 2nd half of the season.For those interested in the home version:
Anyone who followed the Railers last year have a take on Riley Piercey?
Was never promoted to Bridgeport and was not re-signed but in the era of Matt Rempe was wondering if a club brings him in for a look.
Interested to see what the Islanders have in Rajaniemi; I'm guessing he spends some of the season in the ECHL.
His size is intriguing. Judging by his numbers in Finland he does not play a punishing style.
Lahti and SaiPa haven't been the traditional beds of developing prospects in Finland through the years (usually relying on the surplus prospects from the larger clubs or older veterans from either the domestic league or outside of Finland to fill their men's team rosters) - but both have made strides in recent years.
I'm assuming Piercey will be right back in Worcester next season. He took baby steps in his first pro season. And at least according to Eliteprospects, there's very little in the way of official roster moves thus far.
Curius thought - where do you get the Rempe-vibes from?
Here's a Swedish interview with new NYI center Freddy Karlström: Fredrik Karlström om flytten till New York Islanders: “Jag har mer att ge där borta”
Somewhat interesting is that he says that in the offseason, his agent looked around for him and it was the Islanders who were extremely interested. Apparently, they had already tried to trade for him a season ago.
He had a call with Lamoriello where he was told what they envision from him.
He doesn't give any details about that.

LH Center
21G/23A in 72G in the AHL last year and 3G/5A in 7G in the AHGL playoffs
Twice made the Swedish U-20 WJC team
Jesper Bratt is one of his absolute best friends. Spent a lot of time playing with each other in juniors.
Karlström was actually taken in the 3rd round of a draft that saw Bratt go in like the 6th round.
I mentioned it when he was signed; I loved what he did in the SHL as a youngster. He was absolutely ready to head over to the AHL when he did and Dallas has one of the deepest prospect bins in the league.
Will be interesting to see if he simply got lost in the numbers game there. According to the article, he feels he's got more to show in North America.
I wouldnt be surprised if he made the team over _______________Here's a Swedish interview with new NYI center Freddy Karlström: Fredrik Karlström om flytten till New York Islanders: “Jag har mer att ge där borta”
