He’ll be missed… by someone… probably.

He was too short. Not old enough.

I tend to have a good amount of players on my radar but admittedly, my first reaction was "Who the f*** is Turner Elson?" Dude sounds like a NASCAR Truck series driver.

Then I searched him on Eliteprospects and... AHL guy, C/LW. Not sure why we did this but... okay, I guess.

Elson is bigger, my assumption is he plays a more physical game. If so, is anyone surprised by this at all? Guerin will always choose size and physicality over skill.

They're both UFAs after the season...
Likely just giving Petan an opportunity for AHL playoffs. It's a big nothing burger.

I guess it depends on how much they value the AHL team having success, considering Petan was their leading scorer.
