Topias Leinonen found himself back in the JYP net, while Seattle’s Scott Ratzlaff flew home from the World Juniors and got right back to work with a busy weekend.Meanwhile in Finland, TPS centerman Viljami Marjala continues to elevate his game.With a contract decision on the horizon, Kris takes a few minutes to share some thoughts on Red Deer Rebels defenseman Mats Lindgren.Last but not least, Kris offers a well-earned shout out to Rochester Americans rookie winger Viktor Neuchev.***The video version of this podcast can be viewed on the Sabres Prospects YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vLTvzq4QYU&t=12sYou can download all episodes of Prospect Avenue wherever you get your podcasts including: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3utInqt...Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.in/podcasts/5d47...TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--R...
