Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins, 2024 - 2025 Season

I know the griffins have been more physical this year, for those who watch more than I can, have wallinder, tuomisto and soderblom been very physical? That’s one thing I was hoping they’d all improve.

Nate needs to add some bulk, he got manhandled in his only fight. GR does a good job of bulking kids up, even Mazur added some much needed strength and weight. Seeing how Joey, Burger, and Kasper all got up to NHL size, I'm sure Nate will also put on 10 lbs or so next summer.

In any case, has anyone else noticed that Lombardi is on 1 point per game pace if you take away the first 3 scoreless games? 1 point per game for a prospect is my threshold for a callup, if he sustains that for 30 games or so he deserves at least a few games. He's small so I dunno if his game will transfer, but at least he's bigger than Kane.

I'd like to see Nate called up for a few games as well. Getting outmuscled in the NHL is a huge motivator for these kids to bulk up, like Ray for example though he never played for GR.
