WIth the current struggles on the fourth line, it’s surprising that Jarmo Kekalainen hasn’t given Dalpe a look at the NHL level considering his performance in Cleveland. Could Dalpe really be any worse than Lukas Sedlak has been to start the year? Likely not.
Vitaly Abramov has disappointed so far this year with Cleveland, as the Blue Jackets prospect currently only has a stat line of 2-2-4 through the first 12 games. While it’s not necessarily a bad start, it’s nowhere near what Blue Jackets and Monsters fans had hoped for.
Gabriel Carlsson and Mark Letestu have been great for the Monsters as well, both have played nine games and they have six and seven points respectively.
Sonny Milano went pointless in his AHL debut for the season, however that’ll likely change within a couple games.
Paul Bittner is currently a point per game, which is great news for a prospect who had seemingly fallen off the Columbus Blue Jackets’ radar.
Eric Robinson has slowed down a bit from the start of the season, but he’s still just under the point per game mark. He could easily get back to the level he was on to start the season.
