Six months ago, no one could guess Jordan Binnington would lead a team to the Stanley Cup. But he did it, with St. Patience’s patience. Louis with long-term prospects paid off. Here are 5 veterans AHL can create waves in NHL next season.
Andrew Poturalski, C, 25 (Carolina)
There may not be a more impressive player joining AHL this season than Poturalski, an untrained center with four years in the organization. And sure enough, a good season at 25 can scream AHLer’s career The scene in Darren Haydar’s vein, but Poturalski returns this season quite impressively. He broke the highest total of his career of 52 two seasons ago with a 70-point campaign before scoring 12 goals and 23 points in 18 play-off matches on his way to Charlotte’s first Calder Cup. As an unrestricted freelance agent, Poturalski, who played two matches against Hurricane 2017, can earn a place in six teams at the end of next season and will be very wise when Hurricane keeps him to have Add depth to score goals for next season.
Tyler Benson, LW, 21 (Series)
Benson is one of the younger choices on this list, but there’s a lot of likes about him. That’s how long ago, he was tied as a star in the future, becoming the first overall in the 2013 WHL after destroying a record of AAA Bantam AAA with 146 points after 33 games. Injury limited his WHL career and he fell into the second round in 2016 with Oilers (32nd overall), but he was skilled to become a potential second person in the NHL, especially after winning 66 points in 68 matches as a rookie AHL in Bakersfield. Benson was a great player and deserved a shot in the Edmonton’s roster next season.
Jeremy Bracco, RW, 22 (Toronto)
With The Leafs needing to make some changes to resolve the Mitch Marner deal, Bracco may eventually have a chance to unlock the Toronto squad. It would be easier to justify that if the team lost Andreas Johnsson, a solid scoring winger Bracco could copy. With 79 points after 75 matches, Bracco saw incredible progress in his second-year AHL campaign with Marlies when leading the playoffs with 12 assists despite escaping the third round. The winger doesn’t have much to prove in the AHL and can be a good budget option for Toronto next season.
Matt Luff, RW, 22 (Los Angeles)
In the middle of the season, Luff was in absolute tears with Kings, scoring seven goals in a series of 15 matches. He showed great chemistry with Adrian Kempe and Austin Wagner in a limited role, but as time passed, Luff was given the opportunity to shine. Unfortunately, his offense was dried up and he was brought back to the Kingdom of Ontario, but Luff showed some potential for a team that aspires to goal. With 31 points in 36 AHL matches, Luff will participate in the conversation to take the Kings out of the training camp, but if he does not, hope he will spend a lot of time in NHL regardless of pressing. statue in his 33 matches Season.
Alex Barre-Boulet, C/RW, 22 (Tampa Bay)
All he did was score, but Barre-Boulet was still undisturbed despite gaining 336 points in 263 QMJHL games from 2014 to 2018, the most among the players in that range. Signed by Tampa Bay in 2018, Barre-Boulet stormed AHL by scoring 34 goals leading the league, with 68 of his points being the highest by a rookie since Cory Conacher put up 80 in 2011. -12, good enough to earn Barre-Boulet rookie title of the year. With a size of 5 feet 10 and 165 pounds, Barre-Boulet’s size is one of the main reasons why he is always a weak person, but Lightning must give him the opportunity in the next season based on his ability to score and his speed.
