All Players

Owen Headrick (7)

Current Team: Nurnberg Ice Tigers

2nd year defenseman Owen Headrick(7) gets traded from Chicago Wolves to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

He had 1 assist in 5 games before being dealt.

The 6′ 194 lbs. blue liner really made a name for himself last season on reassignment to Idaho Steelheads, scoring 15 goals and 39 assists in 61 ECHL games with a +35 rating, then added another 19 points in 20 playoff matchups to be named Defenseman Of The Year.

He’s taken probably the oddest path to get to where he is and it’s almost odd his still only 26-years old.

The Garden River, ON native did 2 years and an NOJHL Championship before going to Lake Superior State University Lakers for almost a full 2 before deciding to sign with Erie Otters.

He did that striking fairly big in his 2nd frame for 33 assists and turned pro for 4 games with Wheeling Nailers.

His next decision is a bit of a thinker, but he had 4 really successful years at University Of Prince Edward Island Panthers before once again turning pro, but had elevated his game to the AHL.

We thinking he settles and gains footing in the league with his new club.

He almost fails to find any footing with 3 different clubs, so is looking elsewhere to sign with Nurnberg Ice Tigers and will play 2024/2025 in DEL.

Wyllum Deveaux (4)

Current Team: Maine Mariners

Harvard University Crimson graduate left wing Wyllum Deveaux(4) always looks like he should be putting up points, when he’s on the ice, but somehow through 26 games, this season has recorded but 1 assist.

Last year, as a senior was a breakout season for the fairly big 6’2″ 205 lbs. forward, as he got 1 goal and 1 assist, his college best.

What’s the likely irony is the 22-year old, Sackville, NS native will turn pro and start scoring.

You watch.

For 2023/2024, he picks up his 1st deal and signs for 1-year ECHL with Maine Mariners, who must have seen him play at school.

You watch, goals and assists will come.

Just as predicted, his rookie totals were 13 goals and 11 assists in 46 games with a +6 rating, earning him another season in a Mariners‘ uniform.

The captain will return for a 3rd season in a Maine uniform, 2025/2026 after playing a new high 66 games, scoring bests 19 goals and 12 assists.

Quinn Olson (51)

Current Team: Ontario Reign

University Of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs‘ graduate center Quinn Olson(51) signs with Ontario Reign upon graduation and plays 1 AHL with no real results to move down and agree with Greenville Swamp Rabbits, where in 6 playoff games, he scored 2 goals and 2 assists.

The 5’11” 170 lbs. forward was a Boston Bruins‘ 3rd round pick in 2019 (#92 overall), but went unsigned.

A Calgary, AB native, he scored 17 assists twice before leaving school and 19 once as a sophomore.

He scored big points in 2 AJHL seasons with Okotoks Oilers before college.

The 22-year old will need a new contract and gets a 1-year deal with the team he signed with out of college to start as a rookie.

Anthony Cinato (23)

Current Team: Corsaires de Nantes

University Of New England Nor’easters‘ graduate defenseman Anthony Cinato(23) easily made a good decision to enter the transfer portal from 3 years at New England College Pilgrims, where he managed to score pretty nicely last year, posting 11 goals and 14 assists through 26 games.

The 5’11” 170 lbs. forward has 4 goals and 6 assists in 14 games in the current frame.

He actually left a 3rd USPHL Premier season with Metro Jets/MJDP as a top team scorer for his 1st college year in the middle of the COVID stall.

From Warren, MI, it would be interesting to see if the 23-year old would be granted a year of eligibility and accept it.

He would take some well done scoring for his new college club, 7 goals and 9 assists in 25 games with a +1 rating to a couple of 1st games in the SPHL, where he would score nicely to get started.

For his official rookie season, he signs with Corsaires de Nantes of France2 for 2024/2025.

Sam Lafferty (18)

Current Team: Buffalo Sabres

4th year center Sam Lafferty(18) gets a new start, as he is traded to Chicago Blackhawks from draft club, Pittsburgh Penguins (4th round, 2014, #113 overall) after appearing in only 10 NHL games with two assists and a 0 rating.

The former Brown University Bears‘ forward will likely find more room to continue to develop his game.

He has 94 games to his credit, scoring 6 goals and 15 assists.

The 26-year old is fairly prolific in the minors with 17 goals and 38 assists through 85 AHL games.

If he can catch on with his new team, there’s little doubt he’ll earn a new contract, but if that doesn’t happen, we expect him to pick up and leave for overseas.

After a solid 2021/2022 season, scoring 5 goals and 6 assists in 46 games, he picks himself up a healthy 2-year extension to continue.

He actually takes a trade travel path from scoring a best 10 goals and 11 assists in 53 games to being dealt to Toronto Maple Leafs near the end of that campaign, where he did ok in just 19 games, then 9 in the playoffs.

In the offseason, the unrestricted free agent signs with Vancouver Canucks and this turns out to be pretty successful with a new best 13 goals and 24 points in 79 games with a +4 rating.

He will need a new contract, but he returns to the Blackhawks in yet another transaction for the Hollidaysburg, PA native.

Buffalo Sabres step in and offer him 2 years for $2M AAV and he accepts.

He was maybe a bit off step with only 4 goals and 3 assists on a pretty horrible team and Chicago Blackhawks trade for him to hopefully spark a reignite in their fortunes.

Ryan MacKinnon (4)

Current Team: HK Spisska Nova Ves

6th year defenseman Ryan MacKinnon(4) has roughly been in Bridgeport Islanders and Worcester Railers‘ affiliation system since he started sans 1 year away, but signs for 2023/2024 with Belleville Senators to make the split once again.

Although the 6′ 201 lbs. blue liner doesn’t always show it, he definitely has the ability to put up points, mostly assists.

He started with 4 years in the QMJHL, but as soon as that wrapped with his biggest frame of 40 assists, seemed to know he was heading to University Of Prince Edward Island Panthers.

The 28-year old from Summerside, PE is definitely looking to play himself into a full AHL frame.

He actually does ok, maybe not scoring a lot and then really improves in the playoff run with good play to arrive at a new deal for 2024/2025 in the tough to play Slovak Extraliga, signing with HK Spisska Nova Ves.
