Carter Sanderson

the Hitmen, the Hitmen are an objectively fun team to watch right now.

Even with the loss, like, Carter Sanderson has had a, a great year so far.

Uh, the Pittsburgh Sp- Pittsburgh Penguins prospect.

Uh, they just got Blake Manuck back from, from Ottawa.

The Hitmen are looking really good.

Yeah, some of the NHL prospects that they've added, like Carter Sanderson of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh's sixth rounder.

Very real chance that they're playing the last meaningful hockey games in that building, but

And so maybe that's, that's going to be a really interesting task, you know, even personally for me watching, like you, you always value the skill and that's a really important piece.

And a lot of skill is about to hit grant Forex, by the way, with Nolan Fitzhenry, Liam rock, Marcus rock, Carter Sanderson, all coming in next year.

Oof.

Um, That's going to be a different looking team up front.

So that's going to be a great piece to add to the puzzle next season.

So Braden Klimke.

look out this year we're going to talk about him a fair amount also nolan fitzhenry looks really good to start the year as well so um and carter sanderson he had like a three-point debut for calgary and right now the the the recruits have had really good starts to the year let's put it that way last thing i have on my list anyway um rules changes just want to get into a few of them there there's going to be a story at grandforksherald.com hockey about this you can go through and read some of these um it might be up by the time you're listening to this i can't i i already wrote the story sometimes i write them and time stamp them to pop on the web Like, I've written so many stories this week, I didn't want to, like, publish them all at the same time.

So I timestamped them to drop at different times this week.

But then the parade to the penalty box began, and it turned into a runaway train.

Calgary made them pay dearly with three power play goals, paced by a two-goal night from Artyom Katsuro and three points from Carter Sanderson.

In the Battle of Alberta, heart gives you a chance, but discipline keeps you alive.

Against the Medicine Hat Tigers Sunday, Edmonton simply couldn't stay out of the sin bin.

He was sent back to his club in Czechia.

Along with them, prospect Carter Sanderson was returned to his WHL team in Calgary.

Taylor Gauthier, the goaltender, he is on waivers.

No need to panic about that, though.

He'll go back to Wilkes-Barre, where he's gonna get a solid amount of starts.

And then the rest of these defensemen- Pretty standard.

They'll go back to Wilkes-Barre for their training camp, and some may even go down to the Everblades in the ECHL, and then Carter Sanderson back to the Hitmen.

No surprise there.

He will not be going to Wilkes-Barre.

Carter Sanderson, a forward, was sent back to the WHL.

Taylor Gauthier, the number four goaltender in the organization, was put on waivers.

He's going to clear.

So that would be super interesting to see if he does gain a spot.

The Penguins, again, these are all guys that could make the NHL roster, maybe aside from someone like Carter Sanderson, or maybe a Tanner Howe, but I could see all these guys playing regular NHL minutes for the team, and this isn't even the A squad, or I guess maybe it kind of is.

I don't know what they're doing.

And then, obviously, David Gustin, new acquired player, Brian Russ, Justin Brazzo, Connor Dewar, Hendrix Lapierre, newly acquired Elmer Soderblom, full season with the team this year, Tristan Braz, who I have, or bros, who I've done a lot of videos on, Tanner Howe, Carter Sanderson, Ben Kindle, entering his sophomore season, expecting a lot from him, hopefully he can, you know, fully cement himself on that third line center role, I know he had a long season last year, it was quite good, but again, tailed off to me in that second half there, okay, playoffs, and then Avery Hayes, but I did want to talk about Andre Kuzmenko here, let's take a look at his stats from the past season, uh, Not bad.

I mean, I believe, you know, 25 points, 13 goals, 12 assists.

I don't know why it doesn't show his gains point there.

We made a couple of key decisions.

One, we signed and recruited Carter Sanderson, who was a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect, so he's going to be a huge help for us.

Then we also backfilled on the defensive end with Jacob Leanna, who's a Flames prospect.

Those were two key off-season additions to backfill for the players we lost, but we I would say really the growth for our team is going to be from the returning players that we had last year.

I think we give an honest effort without the puck, but I expect our team to score a lot more goals this year.

I think just with the returning players, a lot of that core group of 17-turned-18-year-old players this year, Um, I think we'll be an exciting brand of hockey playing fast and, and then consistently competitive team year over year, uh, night overnight.

And, uh, I think some of the additions that we made, I think the guys like Carter Sanderson, who I mentioned, um, I think we're, I think our fans will be excited to see those new players.

And, and I also think we have a lot of really good draft eligible players that haven't quite, um, made their mark on our league yet.
