Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams discuss three prospects who could stand out in September, the importance of winning in the AHL and more.
Jean-Luc FoudyThis week on The Hockey News On The 'A' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Patrick Williams:
- They discuss the importance of winning at the AHL level. The whole Chicago Wolves fiasco has shined a light on a long-forgotten element within the NHL's development league — independent owners want to win. And it's their money on the line.
- September Sweethearts, Part 1: Jacob and Patrick isolate three forwards — Jean-Luc Foudy, Connor Zary and Cole Guttman — who could come out and surprise everyone at training camp. These three players may not necessarily make the team, but they could make an impression on their NHL club and vault themselves up the call-up pecking order in the process.
- Jacob and Patrick workshop an NHL/AHL Top Prospects Game idea, such as an AHL U-23 all-star showcase coming to life.
