Wild/AHL

[Bear55]

Since the NHL is broken we might as well talk about all those Wild prospects in the AHL. Houston is currently 2-2-1.

Good start to the season for our AHL rookies and other prospects through 5 games.

Grandlun 2-5-7

Scandella 0-6-6

Zucker 2-3-5 (in 4 games)

Palmari 3-0-3 (NJ trade)

Brodin 2-1-3

Coyle 2-1-3

A little slower start for these guys.

Phillips 1-1-2

Larsson 0-2-2

Bulmer 0 through 4 games

No one really cares for the AHL.

Thanks for posting.

I wish they would televise some of these games up here. Just having the visibility of hockey might help come back in terms of popularity when/if it gets going again this season.

Granlund is a beast!

There was some talk about playing some AHL games in St Paul but I don't know if it went anywhere.

You can stream the games online at thefirstrow.eu if that helps any! I watched the aeros lose to to the admirals last night and seems to be a pretty good feed!

Aeros picked up a couple more wins. Looks like Grandlund, Scandella, Larsson and Coyle played well. Bloomington native Brian Connelly also racking up the points back in D - I think he played college puck at CC. Not sure if Zucker is hurt, didn't play the last two games.

Just an update on some Wild prospects.

Granlund and Brodin are still out with injuries but Granlund should be back soon.

Former WCHA alums Justine Fontaine and Jason Zucker are kicking some butt in the AHL leading the team with 19 and 18 points, never a gaurentee of pro success but a good sign. After a slow start Johan Larsson has picked up his game scoring 13 points in 20 ahl games. Charlie Coyle looks to be slowing down a bit after a hot start. Zack Phillips also struggling a bit but start to notch a few assists.

In the NCAA Eric Haula leads the Gophers in scoring and is looking good. Also after an injury Mario Lucia is starting off his college career hot with 4 goals in 6 games. If he can keep developing we might have found a 2nd round steal!

In the CHL Dumba is playing well but not putting up the points like last year. I know one critisizm of him was taking too many risks on offense so he might be trying to play a smarter game this year. Last years 2nd round pick Raphael Bussieres is doing well in jrs, closing in on last years point totals in about half as many games.

Thanks for these updates. Where I live (turn left at the middle of no where and go straight until you hit BFE) we can't get any of these games.

I've been trying to find a stream for some of their games, I'll give that a shot.

The AHL is usually more fun to watch than most NHL games. Those kids have a lot of drive and energy thoughout the whole game.
