Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen 2024 Season Thread.

I see Levi has made three oh wait, now four saves on six shots today.

Two-two in the 2nd. Rathbone again and Jobst.

If they can get a result playing the infamous AHL 3 in 3 Sunday game vs a team that's been resting since Wednesday that would be quite impressive.

Beck taps in a roller. Levi has seen seven shots and given up three goals.

Not with the steamer Levi has had thus far.

Might be the best shift for Helenius since before he went to the U20s just now. Threw a couple of big hits, fed chances in the slot twice and then defended the Laval odd man rush the other way.

Laval up four goals to two after two periods of play. Levi has been underwhelming today.

Kozak blows up HarveyPinard and smokes Trudeau in the post hit fight. Still 4-2.

Not their day. The upside is it’s probably the best I’ve seen out of KH since December. Kozak looked good, but the rest were looking a little tired or a little less than their best.

He's being productive and getting 1C icetime. Helenius returned from the U20's and has not looked like himself and is now playing RW3. Granted, Helenius is the youngest player in the AHL and at the same age, Ostlund was in HockeyAllsvenskan with only 26 points in 38 games. There is still time. Neither is a finished product.

Kulich is a great example of being patient with prospects, especially those that get moved to the AHL quickly.

I know plenty of people want to speed things up, but I would not be thrilled with moving Helenius or Ostlund right now unless it is getting an All Star level NHL talent that has some team control.

I find the idea that Helenius is the "near ready" player and not Kozak or Rosen that the Penguins are looking at out of Rochester is funny and odd. He's not nearly ready. The other two? Sure. Hell, I'm half expecting some team to make a legit mid-round pick offer on Murray and watch him go full Justin Brazeau somewhere that gives him an opportunity -- and that's not going to be here.

Makes the preseason chatter of Helenius being an option for the big club look downright preposterous.

You certain Big Murr won't get a look here once we're running out the clock on the season? Especially if Greenway gets moved.

If they move on from Greenway, maybe. But I fully expect them to just force feed time to their higher draft picks instead. They'll cycle through Rosen and maybe give Ostlund or Wahlberg a game or two as a reward but there isn't a meritocracy in Buffalo, so no... I don't think they would give Murray that chance even if his play dictates otherwise.
