Meanwhile, in nine games for the Monsters, the Bellmawr, New Jersey native accumulated four points (one goal, three assists).

In a related note, there are hints from sources, such as Brian Hedger, that Blue Jackets forward Emil Bemstrom, currently in the AHL, is seeking a change of scenery. While it's uncertain if he'll be part of the deal with Buffalo, the possibility adds an extra layer of intrigue.
