Duffy's Hot Start, Contract in His Future?

Matt Duffy has four points in the three games he's played since joining the Rochester Americans and he's also played in two games with the Everblades. As the season winds down for many of the Amerks, however, for Duffy, a new one may be beginning.

From Rochester, Jacob Micflikier has already headed south to join the 'Blades and get ready for the playoffs while Matt Duffy may not be too far behind. Obviously, he's been impressive in his pro start and keeping him in games is really going to help him get some confidence as he moves forward. If the decision is made to reassign him to the Everblades, I'd imagine that the Panthers are looking at signing him to an entry-level deal this summer.

In the same 'Lets Go Amerks' article, goalie Tyler Plante's shoulder injury was mentioned and described as possibly ending his season just a little bit early. This is the second season in a row in which he's been bothered by his shoulder.
