A lot of this success with the young players (Frattin, Kadri, Fraser) goes down to Dallas Eakins in the AHL. He has done a great job helping the players down there improve. The Calder Cup finals was a nice coming out party for our prospects.
Even Colton Orr looks like a different player after his stint there. Eakins told him to lose weight, and go back to playing like his NYR days. He has been excellent this year so far, and has been playing well enough to earn 10 mins/night. Getting that kind of minutes from your 4th line is a nice bonus.
