Including the new guys, Victor Crus Rydberg, Brant Harris and Mathieu Gagnon — that’s all, right? Nobody else new since yesterday? — there’ve been 26 forwards here since the AHL trade deadline. Seriously, 26 in less than a month. Nine of those are down in the Coast; two are up.
The D corps has been much more stable; Kyle Burroughs makes eight, and Kevin Moore makes four goalies, three of whom are still here.
Looks like Burroughs and Harris make their pro debuts today. Crus Rydberg was on for warmup but didn’t take the rushes. One to scratch both ways. I’m pretty sure Springfield rushed all seven defensemen, but I lost how they rushed the last three (’cause I had no idea what Bridgeport was going to do, to be honest), so we’ll see.
Ice sounds to be a little dicey in spots, but they’ll give it a whirl. Got through warmup, at least, which is better than that day three years ago.
