Our Top 25 Under 25 continues this week with #14 today, which happens to be one written by me. Who will it be? It will be up at 8:00 a.m..
If you want to catch up on last week's rankings you can find our summary here:
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.

If you don't know the reference between Rick Jeanneret and cookies, just watch this clip. To use a Star Trek reference, as I would, Rick can never be replaced, only succeeded.
