Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The Comets had a couple meltdown games, Gaunce took a slashing penalty to start the ball rolling in one of the losses (3-0 and 5-1). I wonder if they are missing Corrado? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Can anyone tell me how his development is coming along. How close is he to making the big squad? From what I heard he hasn't been very impressive in Utica, not bad, but not great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Can anyone tell me how his development is coming along. How close is he to making the big squad? From what I heard he hasn't been very impressive in Utica, not bad, but not great either. If you want to look at the stat sheet, you could say that, but he's been lauded somewhat for his overall play. I believe there's a quote from the Comets GM earlier in the thread about his play and how they feel he's done a great job contributing in his first year as a pro. EDIT: it's from earlier in the season but I've seen similar comments about his play. There's more to hockey than just size or physicality.

Rush17 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Higgins hits? Has he even been on the ice on the past 2 months? He seems invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I notice Guance's SOG numbers are going up quite a bit. 6 shots last game? He is having a great year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So I guess it fair he will probably get a decent amount of games for the big squad next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are missing Corrado?I don't think so, I think the problem is the guys they brought up that didn't get to play even a single game - Biega and Sanguinetti. If you bring them up, play them, that motivates the minor league team - to bring them up and only let them watch and hope breeds dissatisfaction.

SamJamIam Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So I guess it fair he will probably get a decent amount of games for the big squad next year? I'm sure he'll get some call up games, but he would benefit from becoming a real good player in the A before making the jump. CDCers seem to think that players just need to tread water in a new league before they "graduate" to the next. Nothing could be further from the truth. Players need to make the jump, adjust and then excel and regain confidence before they move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, I get WD's reasoning but still Weber is spotty at best, a game for each couldn't have hurt much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Crosby Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Is Gaunce even a center anymore. I know he plays wing in Utica, but didn't he play wing for the Bulls and the Otters last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, they'll be ecstatic to be there, to say nothing of getting an NHL paycheque. I doubt they are dissatisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Gaunce a year younger than Jensen has the same points and is a plus 2 where as Jensen is a minus 7. Both same size. Gaunce first year Pro Jensen 2nd plus a year in the SEL. Gaunce always looks like he's not breaking a sweat ( not in a good way ) To me Gaunces graph is still rising, Jensen seems to have flat lined http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0070412015.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, sending Jensen over to the SEL has proven to be a terrible developmental decision. I think he'll still get it together, but likely never be more than a 2nd/3rd line tweener Edited February 7, 2015 by Robongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I missed that point but he has been playing on the 4th line, less minutes and never sees the PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Gaunce for me is going to be one of these rare athletes who always seem to have time but don't seem to be very quick. He has a good anticipation and is always smart on the puck. The type of player others like to play with. That's why it annoys me when people include him in trade deals. I can't wait for him to get a chance in the NHL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
