Bridgeport Sound Tigers Discussion Part V

[blinkman360]

I expect another tough year. Still a year away from seeing any of that top forward talent. Hopefully they bring in some solid vets.

 

[WinhallVT124]

At least four good depth forwards are needed to be signed, I definitely want Dustin Jeffrey back. We should bring in Danny Kristo as he's a group 6 UFA due to not enough games played in the NHL, like Aaron Ness.

 

[IslesNorway]

Snow seems to love former 1st round picks, so any of those availble will certainly interest him. Also, some much needed veterans should be top of his list

I would absolutely love to add Kristo.

Scott Glennie

Scott Glennie

Previously mentioned, Zach Boychuk

 

[Levi Walking Bear]

Did Glennie ever play in an NHL game?

 

[IslesNorway]

I was thinking of Glennie too. Seems just like the typeGarth is likely to pick up. I think he played a few games for the Stars but never fulfilled his potential. Boychuck fits the mould too andcan even play a few games for the Isles if needed.

 

[JZCislesHockey]

Zach Boychuk has put up points in the AHL before, sign me up.

So much for having 2 Boychuk's in the org, Zach was qualified by Carolina.

Luke Adam and Dana Tyrrell didn't get qualified by Columbus.

 

[WinhallVT124]

Interesting to see the Rags not qualify Connor Allen, maybe we can sign him to replace ness.

Looks like on D there is already:
Pelech
Czuchman
Burroughs
Graham
Leduc
Mayfield/Pulock

So signing a depth D would be wise, Leduc and Graham aren't even guaranteed to be in the AHL.

 

[bloodandashes]

Rumors floating around twitter that Zach Boychuk is expected to be signed

Source on this or more info?

Also interested in the status with Dustin Jeffrey if anyone got info there.

Looks like it was just fan speculation, nothing concrete came of it besides a bunch of tweets between fans. He was also qualified by Carolina.

 

[dcv2002]

Aaron Ness signs with the Caps...

 

[seafoam]

Now that Ness is gone, I'm assuming Bridgeport's D looks like this?

Pelech-Mayfield/Pulock
Czuczman-Burroughs
???-Graham

Leduc

Need to add a veteran or two, preferably left handed. Would love it if they brought in someone to be the 7th and waived Strait to the AHL to mentor the kids down there.

 

[seafoam]

Assuming this is him? http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=19069

 

[Isles Enforcer]

Jeffrey is off the table. Signed with Arizona

 

[PWJunior]

Aaron Ness signs with the Caps...

End of an era. Good luck to him.

 

[WinhallVT124]

What a shame Bridgeport gets neglected like this! Developing a losing atmosphere.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Worth a shot in BPort.

 

[xECK29x]

Joe Whitney should be a good pickup for them

 

[DarkHorse]

SoundTigers added LW/RW Andrew Rowe (26 y/o, 6'2", 180 lbs - http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=38238) and RW Josh Holmstrom (25 y/o, 6', 181 lbs - http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=37921), both of whom were in the ECHL last year.

Isles signed Josh's brother Ben Holmstrom (28 y/0, 6', 196 lbs - http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=38349) who was with Carolina's farm team last season.

 

[PROMputt]

Is CJ Motte going to be at the Bridge next year?

 

[xECK29x]

Is CJ Motte going to be at the Bridge next year?

Doesn't look like it

 

[xECK29x]

Motte signed with Rochester
