Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2024-25:Where's the Farm?

[JRD76]

Glad he’s back. He was sorely missed last season.

The addition of Terry should be fairly huge for the younger guys on the team.

Sure, he may play with whichever AHL "vets" end up down on the farm like Karlsson and Foudy. But he'll definitely take just enough of the offensive pressure off the guys like Maggio, Dufour, and Jefferies to allow them some ample breathing room.

And he won't need any adjustment.

Can step right in without any concerns on or off the ice.

A bit surprised he hasn't taken his act to Europe yet.

You can never underestimate the allure of living in Bridgeport and playing in front of 800 fans.

(Before anyone anyone gets too worked up over this post, I actually work in the surrounding area and it’s just a joke) Sort of.

I know it’s a joke but Fairfield/Milford are arguably some of the best areas in the entire AHL Atlantic and North Division. Train ride into NYC, access to many airports, etc.

Might have to adjust this later when the waiver claims hit but Bridgeport is looking kinda of stacked right now…

Engvall-Karlstrom-Terry
Jefferies-Foudy-Fasching
Gill-Maggio-Dufour
Liukas-Theising-Bardreau
Kopperud-Pinho-Gatcomb

Bolduc-Hutton
Odelius-Newpower
Mitchell-Fulp
George-Warren
Rajaniemi

Hogberg
Skarek
Tikkanan

LOTS of right shot forwards and not a whole lot of true centermen. Some of these guys are going to have to learn how to play on their off wing or down the middle (like they were trying Maggio with during the main camp).

It certainly looks like a far better roster with the additions of Karlstrom and Terry. If there are injuries or NYI's PK struggles (as it did in preseason), I'd expect to see Foudy pretty soon.
