Rochester reassigned defenseman Doug O'Brien to the Florida Everblades (ECHL) earlier in the day. The move leaves the Amerks with eight active d-men, but it may only be the start of the changes ahead.
Moving O'Brien and bringing back Shantz don't seem like moves that will make a huge difference, if any difference at all, unless of course David Shantz has radically improved, but even then, the Amerks have struggled to score goals.
So, it's possible that these recent moves (and maybe more to come, as guys like Luke Beaverson, Brady Calla, Andrew Sweetland and Dan Collins have been ineffective) could signal something bigger up ahead, or maybe it's just a shakeup to try to change the culture. Either way, it's not like the team isn't working hard. By the time everyone comes of age, the team may be too far gone to turn this into a decent season. An addition would be something I think everyone wants to see.
