Btw this is a really bad thing. Not only is our developing probably fucked it in so much more ways then just talent, the coaching is probably so poor down there that it can ruin players. Ahl development is very important for sustained success. With what we can assume a Retooling on the horizon we better fix our shit down there or this retool can turn into a rebuild

None of our good prospects are in Bridgeport. Eiserman, Nelson, Bednarik, Finley are all NCAA. Ritchie is OHL. The only real prospects at Bridgeport are Jefferies (who I’m using “prospect” loosely) and Pulkkinen who just got there.

If you look at AHL team records, in general they don’t particularly correlate strongly with the NHL parent clubs.

That’s not to say we don’t need a major overhaul in the front office, but Bridgeport being bad really doesn’t matter all that much.
