Iggulden Signs With Rochester

[calgARI '07]

Professional tryout, the same kind of contract that Cook signed.  Rochester has a really great team this year.

I wonder if the Paolinis' will put him up....

He'll be playing Friday night in Binghamton and Saturday night in Syracuse...Who's making the trip?

It would be a good way to get my hockey fix for the week.  What are the chances that he is actually going to get some playing time though?  He'll be traveling with the team, but would they actually put him in?

If you know any friends at Binghamton University its School of Management night and the tickets are $12.

Amerks have already clinched the division title. It wouldn't hurt to let Iggulden play.

The Binghamton Senators hockey team is sponsoring a “University Night” on Friday, April 8, at 7 pm, as the Senators (affiliate of the Ottawa Senators) play the Rochester Amerks (affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres). Discounted tickets are at $12 with a student ID. The venue is at the Broome County Veterans Memorial arena in downtown Binghamton. Over 60 prizes will be raffled off from local businesses, and with 100-150 expected students at this game, there is a great chance of winning a prize for you and your friends.

I've been to student night there, and its pretty fun. The B-Sens always pack the house anyway, but a little Cornell presense would be nice (assuming Iggy plays).

Are guys who signed with an AHL team this late in the season eligible for the AHL playoffs?  Not saying that Iggulden or Cook would necessarily play in the post-season - I'm just wondering about rules.

[mjh89]

Yea they are.

Haven't seen it posted anywhere, but Knoepfli is playing pro in Switzerland.

Really? Knoepfli is the only one that was drafted. That's a hell of a ways to go to get in a short end of the season play. Sure you're not late on April Fools?
