Prospect Info: Hershey Bears/South Carolina Stingrays 2023-24 Seasons | Hershey 12x (and Defending) Champions Edition

[Strawberry Fields]

They're listing authentics at $325 with another $70 for personalization...

I got my Aaron Ness game issued Caps jersey direct from Meigray for a fraction of the cost... almost $100 less! Glad I got my Bears jersey in 2021 (as a Christmas gift) before the back to back 'ships.

LuJo signs a PTO with the Preds. It’s baffling that he doesn’t have a contract somewhere at this point. A lot of good veteran AHL players not able to find jobs this offseason.

We have a lot of 25-28’s on this team. And a couple 30’s. A fair number of those guys are on two way contracts and will be in Hershey. 2 of the new guys are two way as well iirc. In short, i worry about prospects getting enough time. That said, I bitched about that last year too and it worked out ok.

Interesting note on #21, Ryan Leibold. He is also a former Little Cap / Ashburn kid. It’s really cool to see some WLC get shots in Hershey.

The only prospects who will fight for time are Funk, Hofer and Suzdalev. The rest should be regulars in the lineup. This is one of the lull years where the majority of the big prospects either graduated or are on the verge of graduation. There should be an influx of young guys next year.

I'm thinking we'll have Miro for large chunks of the year.

That is about right. Hofer got squeezed out last year. he needs to earn it this year. Same for Sudz. Funk may get the squeeze.

But players like Saulinger are two-way players who are going to be in the lineup. many others are AHL vets at 25-28. Dee looks even older and more shackled. It’s more that i want to see more developing youth in Hershey where competition are between 22-and 25 year olds. Not 27-32 with prospects on the doorstep.
