Per Leslie Treff
of Hockey’s Future, the Rangers will sign 2007 5th round pick Max Campbell to
an AHL deal. Coming into this season Campbell (6’0″, 170 lbs) was
considered on the outside looking in when it comes to getting a contract, but
after a significantly improved senior season in which Campbell showed
significantly more consistency than prior seasons. In 42 games for the Westen Michigan Broncos,
Campbell scored 18 goals and added 17 assists.
Campbell is still not a huge
talent, but his work ethic earned him a contract that he was unlikely to get
before the year, and those are the kinds of players that you want to keep an
eye on because they will not stop working just because they got a professional
deal.
