I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but Treliving was saying that the Adirondack Flames have the 2nd youngest roster in the AHL.
This is particularly impressive because the team is 4th in the conference and being led almost exclusively by young players. Ortio has been having a great season after a rough start. I have to go down to 14th in team scoring before I get to a player I don't consider a prospect (Mathieu Tousignant if you're curious). A lot of other AHL teams get to the top of the standings with a much more significant veteran contribution.
This team has a lot of good assets going forward. I think even management is surprised at the progress some of players have made in both the AHL and NHL. I know I am.
