Time in the AHL
Lannon was sent to the American Hockey League for the entire duration of his entry contract with the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins , where he reached the Calder Cup playoffs every season with the "Baby Pens" . He then extended his contract with the Penguins on July 27, 2007 for one year. In the 2007/08 season he was appointed to the NHL team. He did not come to his NHL debut despite two weeks of traveling, after which he was sent back to the farm team . In 75 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre / Scranton, he scored three goals and scored a total of 13 points. This contributed seven points during the playoffs and failed with his team only in the final at the Chicago Wolves .
After three years with the Penguins, he signed a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes as a free agent on July 15, 2008 , but had to spend the season again with the farm team, the San Antonio Rampage . On October 16, 2008 he was called up to the Coyotes, but missed again to make his debut in the NHL.

Jump to Europe
