The Texas Stars have loaned goalie Philippe Desrosiers to the ECHL's Norfolk Admirals. Desrosiers was one of four goalies in Idaho following this morning's assignment of Landon Bow to the Steelheads.
Loaning a second round pick outside the organization is not a great sign for his development. Typically players are loaned outside the organization when they are in their final year of a contract and are not expected to be re-signed (e.g. Wathier, Sawada, Tousignant). Desrosiers has a year remaining on his entry level contract.
Here's the release:
Steelheads Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Neil Graham announced on Friday that goaltender Landon Bow has been assigned to Idaho by the AHL’s Texas Stars.
