It's time for October's last edition of "Ask The Maven." Annette Mendez of West Shokan asks the following:
"SINCE BRENNAN OTHMANN APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED ANOTHER NHL TEST, WHO WILL BE THE NEXT FORWARD PROMOTED FROM HARTFORD?
The Maven Replies: All signs point to right wing Gabe Perreault. Some critics – including The Maven – were surprised that Gabe didn't make the team out of camp. Since the start of the AHL season he's averaged seven points in seven games.
In his last appearance – vs. Charlotte – he totaled three points in a 4-1 win. If the Rangers keep winning there'll be no reason to promote him but if the Blueshirt scorers don't score, Gabe will be first in line for a promotion.
