Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Bloomington Bison Thread: Part XV

[GAGLine]

Is Nash out long term ?

He has a lower body injury and is out for training camp. Beyond that, no idea, but I imagine he'll be back at some point.

9 minutes with new Pack coach

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Drury has to be more mindful of bringing in players not only at the deadline but free agents with strong family priorities.
Justin Braun, Wennberg at the deadline’s.
Pretty sure Nash settled his family in Springfield. Just up the road from Hartford.
I’ll take a fact check but it’s a Crazy coincidence that he was injured before the Northern road Trip and the Central road trip last season. Now he’s not in camp?
Can anyone remember if he was on the Black Aces during the playoffs last season?

Nash is 35 years old now. If you add his NHL/AHL games both regular season and playoffs he's over 1000 games and he was banged up a lot last year. He played the first 7 games that the Pack played in the playoffs last year but got hurt again and wasn't available for the last 3. He tied for the lead in points in the playoffs though and he was playing well.

It always seems like the Pack usually play 2 preseason games and mostly with guys that don't end up on their team.

I’m addressing the question about his priorities in commitment to playing hockey as to raising a family.
I believe last season it was mentioned that his wife was from Springfield and he had moved his family there last season to put down permanent roots.
Coincidence that both injuries occurred just before the out of division road trips?
Okay, I can’t disprove that.
Justin Braun traded here before the deadline.
First thing Sam Rosen and the beat writers reported that he had young children and had put down roots in the greater Philadelphia suburbs.
To me , Braun never seemed to be engaged.
Believe it was reported that he was commuting to his home when time permitted.
Wennberg, Wife just gave birth. Also didn’t seem to me to be fully engaged.
Just hope Drury thinks about things other than a player’s ability when he makes these signings and trades.

[RangersFan1994]

Barbashev with the Gordie Howe hattrick tonight with a 5-4 regulation win vs Bridgeport Islanders. Still shocked Rangers decided to not give him an ELC but an AHL contract with the Wolfpack. I guess they rather give NHL contract to AHL vets that most likely won't wear a Rangers jersey or play in the NHL
