Rush currently sit in fifth place in the seven team Mountain Division, a point back of the third and fourth place teams.

Realistically, the only players of marginal interest are the goaltenders, who have an opportunity to secure an ELC in the organization. Neither seem to be distinguishing themselves.

Rush claim defenseman Billy Constantinou off of waivers.
Constantinou started the season with Cincinnati, played four games, then was traded to Maine in November, played 29 games, and was waived yesterday.

Constantinou was a projected 2nd-4th round draft pick for 2019, and a little later later for the 2020 draft. but was passed on in both. 2020-21 OHL season cancellation seems to have hurt his development, and he never really bounced back.

With all the call ups to the Wranglers and what-not, the Rush have been scrambling to find players. Waiver claims, trades and try-outs have resulted in a drop in the standings. Third last in the league and second last in the conference.

They should have iced the old guy Flames Ambassadors from Calgary.
