Dylan McLaughlin!
A second-year pro, McLaughlin led the IceHogs in scoring this season with 22 points in 28 games, and was tied to the team-lead in goals with eight. In 28 AHL games last season, McLaughlin finished with just two goals and seven points. He was also one of five players on the IceHogs this season to play more than ten games and finish with two or fewer penalty minutes.
