Reserves and Prospects Updates

Throughout the season, I'll pull up the stats on all the players within the Cats' system playing elsewhere so that it's all in one place and on one screen. I imagine I'll do this every month or two, depending on what's going on and if I've got the time.

The tables will be fairly similar to this one (Olesz!), only that the season column will be replaced with the names of the players, since the updates will be limited to the current season.

Season	Team	League	GP	G	A	P	PIM
2004-2005	Sparta Praha	Cz. Extraliga	47	6	7	13	12
2005-2006	Florida Panthers	NHL	59	8	13	21	24
2006-2007*	Rochester Americans*	AHL*	4	1	2	3	4
2006-2007	Florida Panthers	NHL	75	11	19	30	28
2007-2008	Florida Panthers	NHL	56	14	12	26	16

Olesz was sent down during the '06-'07 season, and the demotion is in grey. Any player who is moved or traded will have his previous team in grey, along with an asterisk beside the team, league and season. Hopefully it's not too hard to see.

The BankAtlantic Center is also undergoing some fancy upgrades that will be great to see. They're adding some marquee and video boards around the entrance, upgrading the sound system and renewing the suites.

Anyway, within the division a couple of things happened today. Sort of. Atlanta signed the third overall pick from this past draft, Zach Bogosian, to his entry level contract today. There's a story about it at the Thrashers' site.

The other news I guess would be that former Tampa Bay Lightning coach John Tortorella has taken a position at TSN and according to the article, will be on the NHL on TSN panel for 60 games this season.
