Date News Advice

Injuries limited the 23-year-old winger to just nine games for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year. Given his lack of NHL experience, Ansons almost certainly will have to settle for a minor-league contract if he wants to continue his playing career. None

Considering he is starting the year in the ECHL, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting to see him on the NHL roster any time soon. None
