Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2024 Off-season Thread.

[Gabrielor]

Mersch was a good captain.

He was the captain of the best playoff run of a hockey team I like in nearly 2 decades.

Who is getting the goalie starts in Rochester. I really hope Reimer passes waivers because Sandstrom looks like hot garbage some nights and the kids down there should be taught to win and not handicapped..

I'd be surprised if they attempt to waive Reimer. It should be Levi/Sandstrom in Roch with Houser in Jax.

Given Reimer's salary and history........I cannot imagine that he'd go unclaimed. Which is why I don't think we're going to try to waive him.

I think what will happen is that we'll send Levi down to get a lot of starts in Rochester and then call him up some nights to get a good handful of NHL games in.

With Gibson being out a while in Anaheim, I would expect them to be really interested in any vet goalie that goes on waivers between now and opening night.

Has Reimer even gotten any minutes in the pre-season? I think Levi should 100% be in Rochester. Great emergency parachute to pull, if time comes this year.

Camp invitees (4):
Zach Jordan
Josh Nodler
Robert Calisiti
Matt Vernon


I missed (or forgot) that Rochester signed Brendan Harris in August.

 

[Jim Bob]

Noah Ostlund with a rookie number if I have ever seen one.

He has worn 12 and 45 before and was 36 with the Sabres.

86 is...... a number between 1 and 98, I guess.

 

[Chainshot]

Just to note, the camp invitees are all guys signed by Jacksonville already.

20 for Nadeau confused me for a second. Forgot Kulich wears a different number in the AHL.

All Icemen. Harris I would expect is sent back to Jax but will be a potential recall when the injury bug hits.

Ryan Johnson missing because injury and still in Buf technically?

Ryan Johnson missing because injury and still in Buf technically?

Yes, last report was day-to-day. He can't be assigned until he is medically able.

Ryan Johnson missing because injury and still in Buf technically?

It’s why Rousek in his first year in North America got an NHL salary for almost the whole year instead of his AHL one.
