this says he is confirmed. So what will happen to him during the 3 years. Will he join Arizona, or will they give him a couple of months then bounce him to Tucson / Rapid City

Will he join Arizona, or will they give him a couple of months then bounce him to Tucson / Rapid City He'll take part in camps and perhaps some preseason games, but most likely marked for AHL. However, he's closer than a lot of people (myself included) ever thought he'd get. Do well at camp or hit it off in the AHL and an opportunity might come knocking...

Kirk made his debut for Tucson yesterday in a 5-1 pre season loss to Henderson. No points, 1 shot (out of team total of 16), but was in the starting lineup. Also playing for Tucson was Garrett Klotz, who played for Coventry in 16/17

Tucson win 1st game of season, 1-0 in ot at Stockton. 0pts for Kirk. If people don't mind I'll keep updating this during the season. I know he's a Steeler but I think it's important to see the bigger picture. If he can settle at AHL level and even progress, it gives up and coming players in the UK belief in what's possible

Nothing that specific yet on the AHL website. Don't know about him being a defender though.

From a post on THF he played left wing on the second line and was also on the 2nd PP unit. No details on TOI though.

Kirk has torn his ACL and his season is over. Gutting news for the lad.

Very unfortunate for him. Hope he can come back from it.

that is real sad. Be a test of his commitment whether he stays and goes through rehab, or chucks it in and settles for the easy life 30 miles up the road.

Kirk out for the season now Connolly with a similar knee injury suffered in the Steelers first Conti Cup game.
Potential goals to help GB's chances of staying up in Finland becoming scarce.
