Contract Status for Amerks Players Heading into Next Season

April 29, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

Now that the season is over for the Rochester Americans it’s time to take a look and see who is still under contract with the Panthers or Amerks, who is and who is not still likely to sign. I grouped players by signed, likely to sign and RFA and UFA. Under each category I put some guesses about the status of the players.

Currently Under Contract for 10/11:

Coaches: Benoit Groulx and Jason Cipolla

Goalies: Alexander Salak, Marc Cheverie

Defense: Michael Caruso, Keaton Ellerby, Adam Comrie, James DeLory

Forwards: Evgeny Dadonov, Michal Repik, Brady Calla, Graham Mink, Chris Taylor, Shawn Matthias, Victor Oreskovich, Eric Selleck, AJ Jenks

One Way: Clay Wilson and Jeff Taffe are signed but to one way contracts with the Florida Panthers. If they don’t fit into their plans it’s still possible the Panthers will try and have them clear waivers to be sent to the Amerks.

***** Shawn Matthias has probably played his last game in the AHL and should be able to earn a job with the Panthers going forward. Keaton Ellerby will be trying to earn a job as well but he has some work ahead. It’s amazing that James DeLory is still under [...]Read More

Seven Players Return to Amerks, Three Players Released

April 12, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

The season is over for the Florida Panthers which means the return of players previously called up and also that the only way players will leave the Amerks lineup is with an injury. The end of the Panthers season meant that seven players were sent to the Amerks for the playoffs.

Hershey Bears head Coach Mark French said to me back in January at the AHL All-Star game that he thought the Amerks were a really good team, “if the Panthers would leave them alone.” Pretty strong statement from the coach of the best team in the league and now it’s time to see.

A few players were also released. Corey Syvret, Alex Petizian and Andrew Lord were released. Lord is rejoining his ECHL team the Wheeling Nailers.

The players returning to the Amerks are Shawn Matthias, Jason Garrison, Keaton Ellerby, Steve MacIntyre, Victor Oreskovich, Evgeny Dadonov and Tyler Plante.

There is some concern about the players getting back into the Amerks system, the different level of play and also some chemistry. I’d say the hope is that after time in the NHL they’ll all be ready to accomplish something special in the AHL before some of them have full [...]Read More

Bonneau and Lord Fight Videos vs Crunch

April 11, 2010 - By Keith Wozniak

As expected on Saturday night there was a lot of hard hits and some fights during the game. Jimmy Bonneau and Jon Mirasty have had some of the best fights all season and wrapped things up with another good one. Anyone who follows AHL hockey knows how much a lot of people dislike Kevin Harvey so it was not surprising to see him in a fight, this time against Andrew Lord.

Lord should have no problems getting invited to a training camp somewhere next season.

The only video I don’t currently have is what happened with about eight seconds left in the second period. Earlier in the period Carl Hudson hit Maksim Mayorov hard into the boards and Mayorov appeared to go to the bench injured. As the period was coming to an end Mirasty went after Hudson, didn’t get anything going, he then went after Michael Caruso and then pulled Jordan Henry out of the mixup and tried to fight him. As Mirasty punched Caruso the Amerks bench jumped up to his defense. As Mirasty pulled Henry down the boards it was of no surprise that Harvey reached over the boards and appeared to get in a couple shots [...]Read More
