On Monday the Orlando Solar Bears opened their 2020-21 training camp. Tracey will have more on that later this week, but one of the things that’s going to be interesting to watch is how many prospects the Tampa Bay Lightning and Syracuse Crunch have play for them in the upcoming months. So far, based on the camp roster the Solar Bears released on Sunday, and their subsequent updates, not many.
Of the four players that the Crunch assigned to Orlando on Monday, only Peter Abbandonato really skims the surface of being a prospect. While there are some contract hurdles that would have to be cleared for some of the top prospects, one of the main obstacles is likely to be the ECHL itself.
