AHL: Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins 24 25 the Players Sully Hates

Woof. 7-1 Cleveland final. Larsson 25 saves, Brunicke 3 minor penalties. Here's a few extra highlights plus a couple I already posted. Pickering getting danced, Katchouk deking a defender, a few Larsson PK saves, and the tail end of a Cleveland goal. Back at it again tomorrow night.

 
Aho breaks his stick on a 1 timer, and St Ivany pinched while Aho went to the bench. Leads to a 2on1 goal for Cleveland. First shot first goal...
 
Nolan Renwick is in the lineup and Brunicke switched to white tape. All I’ve noticed so far .
 
Should note these are all AHL deals. Breazeale and Huglen are two-year deals, Urdahl is one. Breazale will sign a try-out contract and join WBS immediately.

None of them are great prospects, as they're all older. Breazale and Huglen are 24, Urdahl is 23.
I noticed that. Are they just bodies for WBS then?
 
Probably. Wheeling, too. I think you'll see fewer AHL vets signed next year now that more prospects are becoming viable for the Pens.

If one of these guys even becomes a regular AHLer then that's a win. Avery Hayes started out on a 2 year AHL deal (though he was out of junior so significantly younger). Got to think Atley Calvert has a good shot of being in the AHL next year, especially if there a few more open spots.
