Please inform yourself more before calling out Benning. I was followed him he had a tough first half making the adjustment but his second half and this season he's been good. Sorry I squed the numbers by .25ppg. fox was also good in the preseason . I'm glad you ran to google and did some stat checking I wouldn't expect any less from Benning fan boys. Blindly following into the abyss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Derp Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I once scored 9 goals in a game of floor hockey. Of course, I was 12 years old and playing against a bunch of 8 and 9 year olds. Glory Days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking they wont resign either, my belief is this will be the results of gifted roster spots I am expecting a rotation of prospects from Utica after the TDL. If Kenins isn't moved he comes up and for sure Grenier will. Both have to have a look because of age and contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Meh. Hopefully he can skate, unlike Dane Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has the same production as Shinkaruk ...in the ECHL. Benning couldn't get rid of Shinkaruk fast enough, do you really think he'll give Fox a chance?

Blueberries Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Uhmm he likely plays with Point so his numbers are probably inflated. Just like Fox with McDavid. Would be a decent pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 22 now, and still hasn't been able to play himself off of an ECHL team and onto and AHL team. I wouldn't be surprised if we sign another overager, but I don't think Fox has made enough progress to stay in our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 To all the mind readers out there. Interest is different than signing ink to paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 10 hours ago, TheRussianRocket. said: Learned what? That it absolutely hurts an organization to sign a free prospect at no cost? Lol. And Fox has been doing great in the ECHL. Only reason he's not in Utica is because they have so much depth at forward especially the wings. So they sent him down for him to get regular minutes. The Comets recently were short-handed because of injuries in Vancouver and Utica. They signed forwards Mike Pereira, Brandon Marino and John Kurtz to protessional tryout contracts rather than bother giving Fox a look in the AHL. All three have now been released from those pto contracts with the assignment of Higgins, Prust and Friesen, but for a time there was lots of room for a forward with the Comets. Fox has been scoring in Kalamazoo but if the Canucks had interest in him it seems to me there was plenty of room for him in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thing about Utica is that they can sign a AHL contract with him if they want to keep him in the system. Biega did that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this for a fact as the last time I ever played hockey in junior B was a result of that and was cut for a son of an entitled kid with no skill, just the right parents told them to f it and threw my gear at them and never looked back lol How old are you?

However in sports, a 1" reach advantage can make or break a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegionOfDoom Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I know this kid personally tried getting details out of him wouldn't say anything but his mom says Minnesota is the most Intrested team and that Montreal offered him a try out for ahl team for what that's worth to some of you, I'm digging from friends that are closer to him than I am for none the less I'm excited for him! And he is in no rush to sign apparently waiting to see what else may come his way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
