Nailers Announce Protected List
June 1st, 2012 | Press Release
To start off, the Nailers have protected both of their top two scorers from last season, following an ECHL All-Rookie Team season by leading scorer Chris Barton (29-31-60), and a 23-goal performance by captain and third year pro, Paul Crowder.
Fellow 20-goal scorer Peter Lenes is also on the list, after arriving in Wheeling with a bang last January, posting 30 points in 38 games with the club. Matt Schepke, Jordon Southorn, Adam Ross, and Chase Watson complete the list of players who were acquired via trade, and made a strong impact to be included in this group.
Along with Barton, the Nailers' rookie class made incredible strides during the 2011-12 season, leading eight additional players to appear on the protected list. The highest scoring player among those eight is Denver Manderson, who battled his way into the lineup in early November, and never looked back, posting 18 goals and 40 points in 52 games. Ben Farrer also established himself as the season progressed, and ultimately finished with 11 goals and 19 points, while also netting the winning goal in the opening game of the playoffs. Zach Hansen carried his success over from the end of the 2010-11 season, and is joined on the list by Patrick Johnson, Nick Plastino, Scooter Vaughan, Tim Priamo, Cam Fergus, and Eric Kroshus.
Five of the remaining players joined Wheeling's roster this season with prior professional experience, either with the Nailers, or elsewhere. Zack Torquato played his first full season in the pros with the Toledo Walleye in 2010-11, before coming to Wheeling last season, where he matched Denver Manderson, with a 40-point campaign. After starting the year in the AHL with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Cody Chupp came to the Nailers in stride, recording 17 goals and 34 points in 43 games. Peter Merth provided a second consecutive year of defensive stability, as his plus-20 rating was the best on the team. Matt Lombardi added 11 goals and 22 points, while Christiaan Minella produced a solid balance of scoring and toughness.
AHL mainstays Matt Rust, Andrew Lord, and Brandon DeFazio complete the 2012-13 protected list for the Wheeling Nailers.
