Undrafted 4th year defenseman Sean Escobedo(3) had the best season of his short career and will next take his game to the new-ish Hungary/Romania pro MOL Liga, signing a one-year deal with MAC Budapest.
Signed for a 2nd straight season with Greenville Swamp Rabbits, he skated in a career high 62 ECHL games producing a new best 21 assists and 22 points but had a worst -17 rating.
The decently-sized 6’2″ 205 lbs. blue liner skated more AHL games than ever before but really managed to take it to another level on the last of his three recalls with Manitoba Moose, where he scored a goal and 4 assists in 10 games.
He’d only connected on the score sheet like that once previously in late 2014/2015, when in just a pair of games for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins he got a goal and two assists.
The former Boston University Terrier has never really been points, although he did have over 10 in his junior and senior years.
The 25-year old should do pretty well playing in the fairly small rinks and could very well climb the Europe hockey ladder from this pit stop.
