  1. Looks like their offensive power kinda died off last few games, wonder if that's due to losing Dhalen. ZM at least is still playing strong, but other than that for young players it's not looking too good.
  2. From earlier Rick Dhawhali, it sounded like Utica staff told them to get traded if he didn't think he was developing into a proper player.
  3. 2 players have bailed and said it was due to poor communication none of our rookie prospects seem to be doing very well in the AHL our best performing one asked for a trade. Our best AHL rookie is 64th overall in the AHL.....
  4. Looks like Gaunce is playing with older players on 2nd line Looks like it was Boucher, Kero and MacEwan as well, so the #'s for some guys may be misleading Dhalen appears to have been playing 3rd line And Jasek on the 4th
  5. That's the thing Gadj, Lind, Jasek aren't really developing well, and they only get playing time now due to guys getting called up/injured. Before that they were benched in favour of vets.
  6. Would have both had another point on that 3 man passing play if BB could get his one timer back instead of hanging onto the puck until he's at the side of the net.
  7. Telling a young player he isn’t developing even though he’s putting up decent #s and then suggesting he ask for a trade.... all of our latest draft picks in Utica are terrible, guess they should step up, not coaching related at all.
  8. Again he didn't demand to play in the NHL and didn't demand Ice Time Cull said he wasn't pleased with Dhalens development and Dhalen felt he wasn't developing very well and asked for a trade. Shut up and play hard when your coach keeps telling you that you suck? if your spouse tells you you're garbage in bed and has been cheating on you, you can stick around but really I'd request a divorce and GTFO into a place where I know I'm not hated.
  9. It's said that Dhalen requested this trade because he felt like he wasn't developing very well, so he Identified that he wasn't going to progress into an NHL player and did something about it, gotta give him props for saying he wasn't progressing into the player he should be. This is looking like Cull is a complete joke so far though. And telling players you AREN'T pleased with how they are developing, why would he stay?? Dahlen never found his groove under Cull’s system. Both sides weren’t pleased with how things were going with his development.
  10. Eh, they played the vets and sub par "grinders" as much as possible and benched Gadj, Jasek, Dhalen, Palmu etc It sure seems like it hasn't been about developing young players but more so just winning at all cost with veterans and AHL for life players. Also the whole Huges is joining canucks right after his season is done might be a bit of a kick in the upside down bag, why wouldn't they do that with Dhalen etc. and ZM got a call up, but not Dhalen, Jasek?
  11. I think everyone is brushing over that we have had TWO prospects that wanted out of Utica this year Palmu and Dhalen, so there might be something else going on in Utica
  12. JD First full season (leading points player on his team) and THEN he had two 44 point seasons, so writing off LK already seems a bit odd, he does have a positive +/- as well in his first year where as JD broke even. Timrå IK Allsvenskan 51 15 14 29 8 0 and LK First full season Karlskrona HK Allsvenskan 48 4 13 17 59 8
  13. You know nothing of hockey, and your alias is beyond idiotic.
  14. Also has a fight and hasn't played in the NHL before, and didn't get to play a lot of games with amazing linemates...JV is a let down, at least ZM will play physical and doesn't shy away from the front of the net.
  15. Virt better be careful, ZM is already looking like the player people wanted JV to be.
  16. Really? Macewans first NHL point came courtesy of him, went behind the net, battled for the puck, pinned a guy against the boards, dug the puck out and Macewan then passed it to Pouliot..... and he was all over the flames in that game, absolutely robbed.
  17. The kid that was chasing down pucks, pinning guys against the boards behind the net that led to Zac Mac getting his first career point? The one that actually made our second line a threat vs Chicago and Calgary? That no drive kid? You sure you didn't mix him up with JV firing shots into shin pads at the blue line after he gains the zone/ passes the puck to the other team/ over skates the puck
  18. Problem is a giveaway isn’t counted when you do a low % shot into shin pads, or bobble the puck and skate past it, or chip it with limp wrist onto the other teams stick, or pass it to other team. JV does that a LOT
  19. Why is Jake stone hands, throw the puck away in the lineup, he's been terrible past few games, yet the guy that's been a constant threat and generated many quality chances you want to sit...
  20. Nylander on pace for 54GP, 6G 14A Goldobin is 48GP 6G 18A But still I think Nyalnder over JV would be a massive upgrade on old stone hands giveaway, shoot from anywhere at anything besides the net, #6 OA
  21. He threw the puck into our slot right to hawks players 3 times last night, definitely was horrible.
  22. Virtanen is not a playoff player, he will be a give away machine when pressured. Horvat isn't proven either, but I'd agree he SHOULD be good.
  23. We have zero of those players besides maybe Beagle....why is Goldy being singled out??
