The AHL schedule really sucks. Way too much divisional play. I get they can’t do west coast trips but like hit up Milwaukee or Grand Rapids once in a while at least. Maybe have a western team meet them in Pittsburgh for a game or two.
Emil Bumstrom getting a call up is bizarre as shit. He's not a Sullivan type of player at all, yet he keeps getting games and opportunities no one else that actually deserved it, ever got.
Agreed, I think were looking at minimum 1 more solid season of AHL from those guys before they become regular. I'm thinking KD will be very active this summer in trades and UFA to fill roster spotsI'm assuming it is because they want to keep the propsects in the AHL where they're all have great season. As I'd said before I'd have called up Pono as next year he'll be NHL or waivers. With McGroaty, Koivunen and Broz I'd rather they keep crushing it at the AHL than have them called up and play 12 minutes their fist game and then single digits the next 5.
