McIlrath isn’t coming back. Love extending Ness and tapping him as captain (on AHL only contract).

congrats Captain!

The obvious choice. Good for Nesser. This says to me the big club told Nelson they're keeping Mac around all season.

Random note from Puckpedia: Riley Sutter is going to be a Group 6 UFA after the season. (Unless signed to an extension of course.)

Have no idea how much that will matter to the Bears. Long ways away, relatively.

I’m sure Bears/Caps will try to resign him. But at this point, he is probably a call-up at best. If he finds a better path to NHL maybe he goes for it. But don’t think that will bother the caps a whole lot. Finding a 14-16F is easy. And that is what he is.

This is his 6th year in Hershey. I’m sure the player will want to move on next year if he thinks he has a better shot elsewhere. He’s also on track to reach exempt vet status, barring any injuries this year, so that diminishes his value a little bit if he does return.

My guess would be that he moves on next year unless he’s told he has a strong chance at taking over Dowd’s spot next year.
