Riley Sutter
Riley Sutter is an AHL veteran and he rounds out the former WHLers that we've talked about who helped the Bears win their second straight Calder Cup and he earned a new contract as a result.
The Caps signed the six foot four, 207 pound winger to a one year, two way deal after a career season in the minor league level. The 24 year old set a career high with nine goals and 14 assists for 23 points along with a plus nine rating in 66 regular season games.
Sutter also established himself as a key component of a penalty kill that was the best in the AHL. He's a third round pick from the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and played all four seasons of his WHL career with the Everett Silvertips recording 60 goals and 77 assists for 137 points in 204 regular season games including a 25 goal season in 2018 that saw Everett win the Western Conference Championship for the second time in franchise history.
It's all about experience in this league and seeing Sutter get the contract extension he deserves puts the Bears and Caps organization in good hands.
