He's a center so he just has to beat out Little or Lowry

Jets seem to use a lot of centers as wingers (Roslo/Copp for instance) so just because you are center with the Moose doesn't make you center with the big club.

I thought that the Moose were giving Appleton time at LW ?  Vincent mentioned this as the season started...

Appleton has been playing right wing pretty much the entire year.  I don't recall him ever playing center... maybe really early on in the season.

Moose on a skid, but Niku keeps putting up numbers and Suess got his first goal.

 

 

Okay the Moose have clinched their berth

And a 7th round pick, no less. Incredible.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League has announced the 2017-18 AHL All-Rookie Team, as voted by coaches, players and media in each of the league’s 30 member cities.

2015 was quite a draft year - Connor and  Roslovic already making the jump,  with prospects  Spacek, Appleton and Niku all with potential to also make it one day.   Foley is gone in the Stastny trade.  Anyone know how Harkins is doing?

Harkins struggled with the Moose this year but put up 6 points in 6 games in the ECHL when he went down.  He's only 20 and I think the pro game has been a little intimidating so far.  There is still lots of potential there, IMO.

#MBMoose F Mason Appleton has been named the outstanding rookie in #AHL this season

 

 

 

the moose take game 1

 

I like the way Michael Spacek has come along this season.  He is a really promising prospect, IMO.

Sometimes i wish there was an app version of this site because i wanted to show my current view

 

Oh yeah the seats are so uncomfy and the wifi doesnt really work til the game starts

Hey tangradi is a griffin now

He was drafted in 2016... after Helle's rookie season, Helle was outstanding that first year...

Yeah, I dont recall the source but around that time I was reading up on him and it was said many thought he was the best "goalie of the future" for the Jets. 

Between Helle, Comrie and now Berdin, we look to be well stocked in that department anyway.
