Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack has loaned defenseman Brendon Nash to its ECHL affiliate, the Greenville Road Warriors, and that forwards Andrew Rowe and Michael St. Croix have been added to the Wolf Pack?s roster from Greenville.

Wonder why St. Croix was with the ECHL squad...I thought he was a dude some people had pretty high hopes for.

 

Numbers game. Surplus of skilled forwards in Hartford above him made it tough for him. Kreider, Miller, Lindberg, Kristo, Hrivik, etc. As a result, he was competing for a lesser, more defensive role. St. Croix is not a defensive forward by any means and I guess ultimately management decided he would be better off getting top line & PP minutes in the ECHL than on the 4th line in Hartford.

 

Now Kreider, Miller, and Mashinter are up. Thats a lot of offense (by AHL standards). St. Croix was killing it with Greenville (granted, only two games) and now there's an opening for him in Hartford to get some legitimate minutes. Obviously the AHL roster hinges on so many factors; send downs, injuries at the NHL and AHL level, NHL players getting healthy, etc. But if St. Croix impresses with Hartford then they'll find a way to keep him there, I would think.

Kyle Jean scores his first, Kristo his 5th (why aren't we bringing him up, again?) as Hartford loses for the first time in regulation this year. Missiaen gives up 4 goals on 30 shots. McIlrath with an assist and 7 PIMs including a fight.

 

If he gets the defensive side of the game nailed down, down there, probably only a matter of time ... now whether that's measured in months or some other unit of time, who knows.

FFS bring him up already. Just for a cup of coffee.

 

Seriously. Puts him at 7 goals and 5 assists in 10 games. He wants it. He's showing that drive and keeps getting on the scoreboard. With our top two RWers out, it only makes sense to bring him up and put him with players that can score. No sense not seeing how it goes when he's tearing it up down in the AHL.
