Olstad re-assigned?
found this tid-bit on Annie Fowler's "blog". An official statement from the team would be nice.
It's hard to say good-bye
I knew something was up Saturday night when I saw Cody Castro give Tanner Olstad a big hug out by the team benches.One by one, the rest of the team came out, gave him a hug or a pat on the shoulder. From up in my perch, I knew the kid was going home.
Tanner is the third player in less than two weeks to vacate the dressing room. First was Lane Werbowski, traded to Edmonton. Then Spencer Asuchak was dealt to Prince George.
You may think of these guys as rugged hockey players, but they still are young men, hundreds of miles from home, whose friendships mean the world to them. These guys are a family.No official announcement was made, but the league's weekly transaction sheet that Bob Tory so kindly passes along, has the native of Calgary, Alberta, being reassigned to the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
Tanner, all 5-foot-6, 150 pounds of him, played in just 10 of the Americans 27 games this season, chipping in one assist and two penalty minutes.

I get it, but I'm sick to death of this shit.
So, I wonder who my new assignment will be...
:(
That's all I got.
You know...you gotta wonder about the reasoning for keeping kids like this up after pre-season. They're almost guaranteed to be sent back down early. They hardly get into games and when they do it's for limited iced time. They just seem to get their hopes up for no reason.
Wouldn't it be better to send them home early and allow them to succeed at the lower levels than sit and watch up here? I feel for the kid.
@Tim--I'm gonna assume it's to get them to compete for that rookie ice time. As far as the AMS rookies, Moser and Holland have outplayed him and earned more ice time, IMO.
Boyz II Men... ABC... BBD.
Have another drink, spokant.
