Prospect Info: 2011-12 Official San Antonio Rampage Thread

[Panthers are Red]

I don't often post in this thread but I do always check to see how the Rampage are doing, and try to see how different players are performing. I do enjoy reading your comments on the games and having some Rampage fans here who are so great is a real bonus.

Some serious firepower added with Howden, Shore, Robak and Trocheck! It'd be awesome of Gudbranson would go and play for them too!

They've been popping up on firstrowsports. Also, I think Chicago had some streams up for this past series.

Exactly, much appreciated

I am hoping to read a tweet from Dan Weiss the Rampage radio announcer tomorrow that Quinton Howden is in San Antonio and ready to go for Thursday night. I cannot wait to see this kid play. It doesn't seem as though Trocheck is going to get a chance unless there are more injuries.

High draft picks with virtually no Pro experience rarely equals instant firepower in the AHL.

Hopefully Howden can get his feet wet with a nice little playoff run.

Then next season put up a 24g 25a season in the ahl.

Howden's speed and hands should be beneficial. I'd say he would be capable of making an impact for San Antonio. Trocheck could use the experience, and his work rate would be valuable on a lower line short-term.

Reasonable expectations, with a possibility of more than that.

Howden could be productive, but fans often make the mistake of assuming relatively high draft picks make instant impacts on AHL clubs. Usually, experience wins out in this situations.
