[MJF]

Much better than the B in my opinion.

Goodbye Bridgeport 13s, hello Bridgeport Fishsticks

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.

Eliteprospects hasn't gotten very far here...

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.

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.

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?

True to form, rare is the drafted prospect who isn't at least brought over to the organization for a look-see.

He seemed like a very decent pick in his draft year and even followed that with a nice DY+1. He's been playing pro for years now but hasn't appeared to take any measurable steps forward.

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's a part timer for BPort or even finds himself logging minutes for Worcester.

Interestingly, he played on the same team as the lesser-known NYI-drafted Finnish Dman, Aleksi Malinen, who I've always seen as a top-flight skater. He's set for a regular shift in Liiga action next year.

Scorer for Flint, size and PMs with the Railers. Probably a reach.

Cholowski has been signed.

Thought he'd walk and look for something in Europe.

But huge for BPort's powerplay in light of the rest of the blueline committee.
