Fanuck Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Utica is gonna be a different team next year That is quite normal at the AHL level unfortunately. They're gonna have a good core of returning players though. Connolly should be given every chance to earn a spot, his career has been somewhat stalled so far.

Guest Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Utica is gonna be a different team next yearindeed. Defazio, Ericsson, BoSang, Cal O'Reilly, Conacher, Corrado, Markstrom, Clendening, Baertschi, possibly Friesen, Grenier and Virtanen all gone.

Guest Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Wow. That will hurt us. A lot. Those were just the ones off the top of my head, there were more besides. The Comets will be radically different in all positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Those were just the ones off the top of my head, there were more besides. The Comets will be radically different in all positions. Acton and Archie are a couple more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 well there goes Utica's only 20 goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Wow. That will hurt us. A lot. You'll get to like the new guys pretty quick I think. Incoming are Cassels, Subban, Hutton, Labate, Fox, Blomstrand, Valk, Jones, Fedun, Cracknell, Cederholm, McEneny, and Bachman. Lots of skill and grit mixed in there to replace what was lost. They may not win their conference again, but they should be a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Very good value for hayes. Still choked he got shipped out of Florida. Smith better not suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Good players leaving Utica, but disappointment offset by more Canucks draft picks in the lineup. May not be as good a team, but should still be competitive and relatively successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robr1can Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Cracknell, when did the Canucks or Comets sign Adam Cracknell? You'll get to like the new guys pretty quick I think. Incoming are Cassels, Subban, Hutton, Labate, Fox, Blomstrand, Valk, Jones, Fedun, Cracknell, Cederholm, McEneny, and Bachman. Lots of skill and grit mixed in there to replace what was lost.

LaBamba Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I like DFZO and the other 27 players in our system that can do what he does. So ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
