Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) Discussion.

[Grimes]

Is there any other AHL team with not only this amount of promising young players but mixed in with this amount of solid vets?

Goaltending feels like the most questionable position on paper.

 

[IronFinn]

Did they forget to list Lipkin, or is he ECHL bound?

Also on the “Injured non-roster list”.

Villalta isnt bad(.911 sv%), he was a work horse last season. Led the league in games played, wins and was a AHL Allstar. I haven't seen alot of Stauber yet.
I'm looking foward to see how Hrbal, Thelin and Musser develop.
But to your point, if Ingram or Veggie goes down, things may get dicey. GMBA seems to want to add a young goalie for the future.

I didn't catch the game. Szuber must have an injury - any detail available?

Tucson wins 4-2. Aku Raty with 2 goals, McCartney and Agnozzino. Kelemen and Lutz with 2 apples each.

Meruelo is building a 10K seat arena on his GSR property here in Reno. Starts construction next spring with an open for 2027. Feel bad for the RR fans in Tucson (I saw a game there last year) but I'd guess the plans are in place.

We know.

He might have trouble getting an affiliation though. Vibe I get is he's NOT very well liked by the rest of the NHL owners, and Utah isn't going to stick with him even if Reno is closer to SLC.

Ryan Smith has a minor league team he could retool and apply to the AHL within that time. He already pays all of Tucson's hockey staff and most of the top players.
