The Marlies made a move yesterday and picked up a player from Arizona State University. It will likely come as no surprise that Robert Mastrosimone is a graduate of the Chicago Steel where he played with Nick Abruzzesse. Marlies GM Ryan Hardy is still roping them in from his old team.

Mastrosimone was actually drafted in 2019 by the Red Wings but became a free agent this summer because he went for to the NCAA for four years and never signed a contract. His first three years were at Boston University, where he played with Trevor Zegras in his first year, and then he finished with a year at Arizona State University.

He sure has some fun on the highlight-reel.

Between the legs too! My absolute favourite way for a hockey player to score.

I love him already.
