UticaHockey Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Im realling hoping Shinkaruk and Horvat makes the team, we need some youth inserted to the team. Since Shinkaruk is AHL eligible and coming off an injury it makes sense to transition him to the pro game in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I think that Horvat has another year of Junior to finish. He plays for the Canucks or the London Knights Not AHL eligible next season....either the NHL or juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Also i know shinkaruk is a 1994 so is he can he return to junior as well? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumerman77 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Shinkaruk should stay in the AHL all of next year. Someone said Cederholm is eligible for the AHL next year? How is this so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he drafted out of Europe so the CHL rules don't apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Good line up but I think Corrado starts in Utica unless Vancouver moves one of their top six defensemen during the off season. Would also like to see Sauve cut loose and bring back Huskins. That lineup is without any additions (which will likely be made). I'd like to see Huskins back too, but retirement could be a possibility. We'll see about Corrado. I think we have too many holes up front to justify not moving one of our 4+ million dollar D-men. Too much money tied up in a core that is not even close to being one of the best in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm excited as anybody for the next Comets season, but just because a bunch of our top prospects are gonna be in the AHL next year doesn't mean they'll be stacked, we need some veterans in the lineup too to help mentor them. I hope DeFazio, Pelletier, Huskins, Biega and O'Reilly are all brought back - I'd even possibly sign Huskins and O'Reilly to two-way deals, both could be good depth in case we get a rash of injuries. Grenier-Pelletier-Shinkaruk DeFazio-O'Reilly-Fox Archibald-Gaunce-Friesen Zalewski-Lain-Kenins Blomstrand, Mallet, Costello Huskins-Corrado Biega-Andersson Tommernes-Blain McEneny Eriksson Cannata I think Jensen will start the year with the Canucks - Corrado, Archibald, and Lain all have chances as well but I hope the team looks something like this, give or take a couple of AHL veteran signings.

Brocklovich Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Definitely looking forward to seeing what Utica does not sure Fox will be a top line guy right out of the gate but should be a nice fit. Thats what I did like about gillis signing college ufas / undrafted players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utica Fan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I just love reading how excited all of you are about your prospects playing IN UTICA! Thank YOU! Keeping with the thoughts of resigning veterans, this Comets team would not have had the season they had WITHOUT: DeFazio, O'Reilly, Pelletier, Biega and Huskins. Of these, ALL were the spark this team needed. Their leadership combined with these incoming prospects, should make for a very exciting 2014-15 campaign. We are now 2 weeks removed from hockey here in Utica, yet, the fans here are already talking about next season. I will try to keep you posted on the events going on in Utica that are Comets related.

elvis15 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 He is eligible. But will likely be back in junior anyway for another year. I would expect Utica to have a few more veterans on the team, it wont be purely prospects on the farm team. You need experience and players to help the young players understand what it means to be a pro. I hope they keep Pelletier, O'Reilly, Biega, Huskins, DeFazio and Ferriero. Pelletier was their leading scorer so I can easily see him returning. Same with some of the others but not a guarantee of all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really be a fan of keeping O'Reilly around but it maybe a hard sell. I'm sure he still wants to play in the NHL if he can find a way. Pelletier should be a lock. DeFazio should be easier. I think he'll stay. Huskins could re-sign too or he'll retire. I don't have a great read on Biega. What does he add that they can't get elsewhere? Just a steadying presence? I'd guess that Sauve might be gone so there should he at least one roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Horvat doesnt have much business left in juniors. As much as I love Shinkaruk on the Canucks, he might need time in Utica. Missed a whole season :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Shink: Lost a whole season so I am thinking another season in the WHL might be a good idea, especially with his size. Overager. Cederholm: Much talk of another season with Portland as a overager. A more prominent role with Johnson as coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckledraggin Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Shinkaruk - Pelletier - Jensen Fox - Gaunce - O'Reilly Archibald - Friesen - Grenier DeFazio - Lain - Kenins Welsh, Mallet Cederholm - Tommernes Sauve - Biega Andersson - McEneny Eriksson Cannata I think this is closer to the line-up we will see next year in Utica. It's a good mix of veterans and prospects with gaunce fox shink and kenins all rookies making an impact on the team. I think Jensen makes the canucks next year though, and welsh and mallet are on the bubble competing with costello and zalewski. could be as many as 6 rookies in the line-up, but the skill level and compete level of these young players coming in will mean they won't start the season losing 10 in a row and could compete for a playoff spot. I'm almost as excited to watch Utica next year as I am the canucks. Go Comets Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Comets Go! me too..good analysis....I do think Shink will get a long look with the Canucks,,although it depends on his hip progress.....Mallet and Sauve are almost done..dont forget Grenier..this kid is a late bloomer with a big upside.
