Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Cincinnati Cyclones Thread: Part XV

[savebyrichter94]

Was selfishly hoping they would play the Phantoms so I could try and go to a game but this run is great for the young guys and their development

Maybe a stupid question but any chance we see Berard in the playoffs for the Rangers?

He's not at a point where you insert him for his first ever NHL game in round 3 in a year when you're the odds on favorite to win the Cup. That's crazy pressure for a kid barely old enough to get a beer. His NHL training should start in preseason - let's see how he handles himself when almost everyone is sent down in late September and he's out there with a 90% NHL roster.

With the Wolfpack having a good playoffs, does this give Steve Smith as full time head coach replacement?

I certainly hope he has earned consideration.

Pack have released Pekar
2024-05-14 Matej Pekar (F) Hartford DEL Released from SPC

I had hopes for him,
remembering his promise as Sabres 4th rounder a few years back (see THN article below),
and hoping his physical, distracting game might add sandpaper to Pack lineup
But he never earned a regular spot, playing 15 games in Dec/Jan during a stretch of injuries and call-ups, but then only 5 down the stretch

Our best prospect (along with Garand) and will be a fan favorite but no one in Hartford is ready for NHL playoff hockey right now.

Wait, isn’t this the guy that many wanted to fire during the losing streak?

According to Keegan Jarvis Ben Harpur may be back.

Looks like defenseman Ben Harpur (#5) is with the Wolf Pack in Hershey. He was a full participant in practice Monday, and making the trip is a good sign that he’s healthy.Not sure if he’ll play, but good on Harpur getting back on the ice! #NYR

Didn’t make sense. If there ever was a valid reason for a team to hit a rough patch it was the Pack.
Happily shocked they made the playoffs.
A name I’d throw out there for an assistant position is Matt O’Dette.
