Via EliteProspects, Dylan Reese to Sweden, HV71*.
Hat tip to Ross Johnston for retweeting this: Nathan McIver was named an assistant coach for Oshawa (OHL) today.
Big NHL deal today: The Rangers save some money, sending Derick Brassard and a pick to Ottawa for Mika Zibanejad and a second-rounder.
Ex-Beast of New Haven defenseman Nolan Pratt took a job as a Colorado Avalanche assistant. He’d been with the Columbus organization back to Springfield and won the Calder Cup with the Monsters this year.
Congrats to Sean Backman, who’s now married; and Teddy Richards, former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton equipment manager, who’s now in charge in Florida.
And RIP, Jeff Hoens (who played and shone against Notre Dame-Fairfield in Milford this year), Jack Riley and Wendell Anderson.
*-“Husqvarna Vatterstad 1971: Where the Passion Is.” Hey, maybe we can read Swedish! Actually, Fun With Google Translate: “‘Dylan is a skilled reverse and useful in all forms of gambling,’ says Johan Hult, sports director of the HV71.”
