The Telegram had a column yesterday about the Newfoundland Growlers and their very slow acquisition of players. They have one so far*. The column is in response to an inquiry from a fan who has noticed that the other new, from-the-ground-up ECHL team, the Maine Mariners has added several. The Telegram take an arithmetic approach to show that there are likely to be many players currently under contract to the Marlies who will play in Newfoundland. They came up with about a dozen, which seems to be the magic number.
We can improve on that bare number a little and name some names.
