DeNiro Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gaunce looks good but virtanen and McCann have out played him Gaunce plays the heavy, battle in trenches, type game that Benning likes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 No doubt. I think of the 3 Kenins would be claimed. Maybe Corrado. Really excited for noonish tomorrow. Kenins is waiver exempt......he's going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gaunce plays the heavy, battle in trenches, type game that Benning likes though. Without sacrificing offense. I think he could play on every line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Hockey Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Let's not jump to conclusions, McCann still hasn't faced multiple full NHL rosters without rookies filling in all over. He's very undersized still and Vey has bulked up and has nice heady playmaking upside, if Vey gets the spot, so be it, we can trade him or send him to the Comets if we have to now or down the road.

If Vey bulked up over the summer he sure isn't showing it except getting slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gaunce plays the heavy, battle in trenches, type game that Benning likes though. He'll likely draw in for Kenins on Saturday and take his turn dishing it out on the Oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Kenins is extra forward. ( he has a one way contract so he would have to go through waivers to go down ) Kenins doesn't have to clear waivers to go to Utica. Being on a one way just means they'll have to pay him his NHL salary in Utica. Something ownership might not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Benning also said multiple times, if a rookie proves better than a vet, he has no problem trading to open a spot. He's been blowing smoke up our butts, unfortunately. Been saying it all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 He's been blowing smoke up our butts, unfortunately. Been saying it all along. Or he's eating his words right now because he didn't expect the rooks to outplay the vets so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z Hockey Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If the midget gaudreau can do it why can't McCann?? Not a good comparison to a 5 foot 5 Gaudreau who WAS 150 pounds then. McCann is 6 feet and around 180, a skinny frame, Gaudreau is more just small. What Gaudreau did doesn't mean every undersized, young, and skilled forward will transition to NHL physicality right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Before you start listing all the vets that you want cut Gramps, Benning was talking about rookie prospects when he was referring to the 1st criteria that a player must pass; defensive responsibility. Vey and Higgins and Hansen have jumped through that hoop already. Having said that, Benning won't throw away any assets for nothing. So in the short term, the players who don't have to clear waivers can be sent down. This means that he can keep McCann, Virtanen, Baertschi, Corrado and Vey on the team. Next step, he'll give McCann and Virtanen their 9 games which will show whether they really should stay or not. If yes, great. If not, they can go back to junior and play in the worlds. After that decision is made, up to 2 players who were sent down previously who deserved to be on the team can come back from Utica. (Gaunce, Kenins, etc) Lastly, if there is still somebody in Utica who deserves to be on the team ahead of somebody who is already on the team, trades can be looked at. There is no need to lose players for nothing by being hasty. If it is done over a couple of months or even by the trade deadline they will be better off.

Tragoedia Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hutton has earned a spot, but I don't think will be on the opening roster until an injury happens. It won't hurt to play 20-25 minutes a game down there until there is room on the D-core this season. There will be room. There is always injuries every season. Kenins was a bull out of the gate last year, struggled near the end, and had a great playoffs on Horvat's line. Having said that, he hasn't done enough this season to warrant a spot. He can go back to Utica and be a call up again this year to show he can do it again. Vey has done absolutely nothing to demonstrate he is NHL material this preseason. I feel bad for him, but really don't want him on the team if this is how he'll play. Gaunce may or may not make the team right out of the gate, but will play NHL minutes this season. Sending him down at the start wouldn't hurt if there is not enough roster space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo.Horvat53 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Benning said McCann will play the remainder of the preseason, so I dubt he gets cut tmrw. I doubt he gets cut at all tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
