Also, Cole Cassels got cut to no one's surprise. Apparently he didn't impress much at camp. I hope he takes another stride this year. Mate, you might want to look at your post history if you want a master class in embarrassing yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Cole Cassels got cut to no one's surprise. Apparently he didn't impress much at camp. I hope he takes another stride this year. I thought he showed quite well for the limited game time we saw. Improved speed, tenacious on the puck, goes to the right areas, and made some nice passes. I want him to get solid minutes in Utica playing in all situations. Looking for 35-45 points this year while probably getting in some games next year. Also I don't know if your being misinterpreted but stating he has the lowest ceiling of all our prospects makes as much sense as let's say myself being drafted by playing beer league hockey.

Haha. It's a fair question. I'm not samjam99. But I did have a friend working with the Canucks who told me that a deal for Iginla was closing (a couple years ago during the Iggy sweepstakes). So I broke it on CDC...and then he went to Boston. So as a joke I took on the samjam name for breaking made-up trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually still kinda believe that the old SamJam was right, that the Perry Schneider deal was a real thing, but it just didn't close...I don't know, maybe not.

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Should fans be worried, I know it's early in Utica's season, but Cassels is on the 4th line, and got only one shot on goal the last game, and no points. Can the Utica fans give us an update on how Cassels looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have showed better in the ahl. Goes to show A. How big of a step it is from Jr to ahl B. What an ill timed injury can do to a players development. Many like to talk of how much better our prospects are with benning but fail to mention how much healthier they have been shortly after they are drafted. Jensen Hodgson Gaunce Shinkaruk Virtanen Have all missed significant games due to injury in their draft+3 Horvat McCann Boeser Have been mostly healthy since their draft. Some times its just luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's still early. If he's still 'invisible' toward the middle and end of the season, start worrying then. By most accounts the team is struggling to put it together early. They'll likely get Rodin on a conditioning stint in the next ~month and possibly Virtanen after that which should help too.

It's still early and he might just need to sort out the speed difference and positioning, but we should be seeing improvements from him this season.

This/these. The team struggling early doesn't help, but then you also hope you have some players step up a little to make a difference in the team's fortunes.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Sounds like Cassels was injured last game. Just going by fan reports but it doesn't sound good: "Cassels got absolutely nailed in the first and left the game. May well be out for awhile." -orcatown (HFBoards) "Cassels has not come back." "Hopefully Cassels only has a boo boo, but he went off hunched over holding his midsection... and was hunched in the same manner going down the tunnel after being attended to on the bench." -Bad Goalie (HFBoards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe he can be a quality player in the NHL. You don't shut down McDavid and not be an NHL'er eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
