Florida has no highlights but they do have a player named Bobo Carpenter*.

That’s not most notable name on their roster because they signed the prospect with one of best in recent memory: Reed Lebster.

*Actually NJ Devils’ Legend Bobby Carpenter’s son with a goofier nickname of Robert.

Ya. I think he's been to a few of our camps years ago.

You gotta be pretty happy with Poulter's play after being sent to the ECHL. He doesn't have a ton of pro experience under his belt either. Maybe he can be a diamond in the rough for us. Time will tell but it's nice to see his game evolve this season.

New Jersey Prospect Camp in 2017 and 2018.

He also went to New York Islanders Prospect Camp in 2018 and signed with Bridgeport at the end of 2018-19 season.

Josh Ho Sang still kicking around hockey in the ECHL?!?

Headed to the Everblades vs. Adirondack game 4 tonight in Estero. 3rd round. Blades are up 2-1 in the series. Checked the Adirondack roster and I only know the goalies, especially because one of their last names is Brodeur

Dammit Thunder blanked again and on the brink of elimination.

Shane Harper. One of the last of the Trenton Titans!

Ironically the other is on one of the teams still in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Undrafted QMJHL player, Israel Mianscum (EP entry), whose agent publicly talked about turning down a AHL deal from us because he wanted a ELC, signed with Laval (MTL).

So here’s hoping he only experiences failure and sadness in his future. (What? I’m petty.)

He's from Quebec apparently? If nobody wanted to give him a genuine ELC maybe geography along with a more fluid rebuilding NHL roster was more attractive to him?

You never want to seriously get involved with a player who doesn't really want to be in your organization. If he succeeds elsewhere, so be it. There are lots of fish in the seas and good fishermen (scouting employees) will find them.

There are players from Quebec in every organization in pro hockey. Being from Quebec and signing in Quebec gives them no better chance of making it than those Q-natives playing everywhere else. The day of the "Canadiens" stocking the cupboards with almost all of the best Quebec native players ended with the installation of the draft.
