Lol. I have the game on too and was just coming here to post that. Looks like he’s only dressed for three games this year.

Was looking up his stats for a comparison to the newest commit. He's no longer in Fort Wayne. Traded on 11/10 to Worchester, then traded to Cincinnati on 11/12. Played the 11/12 game against Kalamazoo and scored a goal. Next 2 games he faces Gavin Gould.

I would love to be a fly on the wall and listen in on those discussions where this kid gets traded twice in two days.

The SPHL? Good lord. How much is it costing him to play in this league?

Quick research, for a rookie, he's probably $100-$200 less per week than the ECHL. ECHL pays rookies a minimum $530 per week.

I haven't followed, but did he play poorly enough in the ECHL to not catch on there, or is he just THAT dislikable? I'm not a fan of the guy, but the man was a very solid hockey player when he was here and I thought he was a direct to AHL kind of talent.

Attended more games than any responsible student should have.

2G 1A in 3 games for Fort Wayne. Scored a goal in the first game with Cincinnati. 4pts and +3 in 9 ECHL games total. Definitely not a lack of talent.

When Fort Wayne played in Toledo, he didn't dress and was traded twice over the next two days.

And placed on team suspension today so he can deal with a personal matter at home before continuing his hockey career. Yeesh. At this point, it may be profitable for him to write a book about his life.

Thought this was interesting. Elite Prospects lists him as 40 years old, and has only played in 2 professional hockey games since 2018.
