Buffalo News
February 3 2006 (Buffalo, NY) -
Dylan Hunter will get to finish what he started in the East Coast Hockey League.
Hunter was reassigned to the Stockton Thunder yesterday and will join fellow Sabres prospect Mark Mancari. Hunter was with the Rochester Americans for a few games after playing three successful contests with the parent Sabres.
"Dylan had tremendous success in his early season stint with Stockton and we look forward to him continuing his development with the Thunder", general manager Matt Bosela said in a statement yesterday afternoon.
Hunter still leads the entire ECHL in point scoring with 54 (27g 27a) in only 32 games. He was recently named ECHL Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for January despite playing in only seven contests. He had 18 points in the month (8g 10a).
In other news, Sabres goaltending prospect Adam Dennis has been assigned to the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the CHL. Dennis has had much difficulty getting into games this year and it's hoped the Mudbugs will utilize Dennis frequently in the coming weeks.
"We really would like to see Adam get a run of starts to see what he can do", Bosela said. Dennis played four games with the Stockton Thunder, going 1-3 with a 3.00 goals against average.
