Portland Pirates‘ 5th year left wing Eric Selleck(25) plays an almost unassuming tough guy style.
He’s had 12 fighting majors in 63 AHL games but also has a career tying 6 goals and best 13 assists with a +3 rating and a likely to increase 164 penalty minutes.
At 6’2″ 220 lbs. he’s definitely big enough to hold his own against just about anyone but will probably not eclipse the 200+ minutes he put up in his first two seasons.
He had a battler 28 bouts as a rookie a personal best/worst 214 minutes in the box.
After a couple of seasons putting up points at SUNY-Oswego, Florida Panthers signed the unrestricted free agent to a 2-year entry level deal and extended it twice before trading him in a farm squad deal to St. Louis Blues.
He managed to get himself a single NHL recall from the Panthers and got tossed in his debut for instigating a fight that caused him to wobble off ice.
He would remain up with the team but waited over another month for his next appearance, in which he put up his first point, an assist.
Without a contract for 2014/2015, he signed a minor league contract and has found himself a not so bad possibly temporary home in Maine.
