Undrafted 8th year left wing Andrew Rowe(18) leaves the nest agreeing to a one-year deal with Mora IK of the SHL.
He had his best season yet in 2016/2017, his second with Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
Playing a career high 66 AHL games, he potted new bests 13 goals and 23 assists for 36 points with a +6 rating and unloaded 124 shots on net.
It wasn’t that easy though as he was a healthy scratch for much of the start of his 7th campaign before eventually cracking the lineup.
Just one year earlier he split time between the higher league and as captain of South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL.
He was actually under contract with the team a season earlier as a more than point per game player but loaned up to Charlotte Checkers for 28 games.
The 29-year old should be able to do extremely well overseas but we’ll miss seeing him play on the east coast.
Andrew Rowe(6) Hartford Wolf Pack
After virtually exploding on the score sheet in a full season of lower league play, undrafted 4th year winger Andrew Rowe(6) scores himself an AHL contract with Hartford Wolf Pack for 2013/2014.
In 66 ECHL games, he led Elmira Jackals in goals, assists and points (28-43-71) with a +5 rating. He even managed to put an exclamation mark on his stats in the postseason with 4 goals and 4 assists in 6 games.
The 6’2″ somewhat light 181 lbs. forward also received a two-week, 5 game recall to Norfolk Admirals.
He put up 15 goals and 8 assists over two seasons with Adirondack Phantoms as a part of Philadelphia Flyers‘ prospect system, where he was signed to a 2-year entry level deal.
The 25-year old also spent a few spells with Greenville Road Warriors in his first pair of pro seasons.
They just happen to be the affiliate of Hartford. No doubt, he’ll be looking to raise his game with his new team to avoid any more time down south.
