Prospect Update: Trouble in Bakersfield

6 years ago

Not a lot of highlight-worthy weeks for the prospects in this latest update (outside of the playoff races in the CHL which always mean bigger numbers).

The Condors are dealing with a shortage of able bodies right now. And with the short-lived call-up of Keegan Lowe (now sent back down) the cupboards in Condorsville were getting bare. Mitch Callahan was caught doing PEDs. Then, to top it all off, Ryan Hamilton broke his leg in two places and is done for the year. Assuming the Oilers will start shutting down banged up guys, the Wichita cupboards could be raided real soon and the rest of the depth chart will be heavily tested.

Ostap Safin with the Seadogs had a four-goal week this week and Tyler Benson continues to play well. Meanwhile, John Marino finished up the week with a solid three-point effort for Harvard.
