Bakersfield Condors: Who Are They?

I reached out to the Condors, and specifically to Kevin Bartl, the Condors' VP of Communications to get a bit more information on the team and what it all means.

Make the jump, learn something.

Cascalenda is 6'0" 180lbs, so if added some bulk, he would have the size for the NHL. He is a West Saint Paul native, making him an instant favorite for our "Minnesota only" readers. Single digit points throughout his career signal a defensive defenseman, so it could be difficult for him to stand out and push for the move to the AHL. Not saying it is impossible, but it makes it more difficult to be sure.

As for the "several Minnesota natives," we'll have to stay tuned to see if any of them pan out.

HW: Are there any players with current NHL or AHL contracts, and if so who, and with which teams?

Hopefully this changes. Would be really interesting to see the dynamics of that at work.

HW: What is the recent history of the Condors? Has the team had much success?

In other words... more success than the Wild. The idea of front office awards speaks volumes. Any team with good management is generally a good team. The fans showing up is also a very good sign.
HW: What does the Condors management / ownership hope to get out of the relationship with the Wild organization?
