Very smart hockey player and has a good, versatile career ahead of him. I've been on his bandwagon since day 1, and as disappointed as I am for him, personally, I get the numbers game and the fact that he doesn't have to clear waivers. On the flip side, I am excited for him to play some big mins in an offensive role and for Utica to get some help. His character and resolve are rock solid and he will take it as a chance to get better. Skille and Chaput also created a tonne of chances that Gaunce failed to take advantage. I think he also failed to be close. A guy can be a complete package, but he needs results. That said, Messier got like 1 goal as a rookie. Anyway, this won't hurt Gaunce.

Richardson has about as much offense as you can have on the 4th line. He's a high percentage finisher. Gaunce is on the opposite end of the spectrum at this point.

We don't want him to lose his offensive game, but we're going to play him with a bunch of plugs in situations where it's going to be tough for him to produce... Just say what you wanna say Willie, he didn't wanna lose Megna to waivers, even though it's almost guaranteed he would have cleared. You're gonna complain that 67 games isn't a quality opportunity? He doesn't have the speed or hands of Megna....but hey, if you can't see that, it all looks like a crap shoot. Yeah, free Gaunce. He got to play 67 games without producing. That's such a rip-off. Does every 4th liner get to complain about ice time, or are they supposed to make do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just on the 4th line right now because we have three centers ahead of him. He'll be a very serviceable center for us after another year or two of development. Brad Richardson is very good comparable. Based on your gut? You've seen enough zero-production effort to be certain that it's 3rd liner at minimum? Hey, at least you've got nothing to go on.

OK Captain Hyperbole. Just because i don't think Megna is more than a career AHLr doesn't mean I "hate" him. There is a middle ground here buddy.

Maybe, but he's three steps behind. Is that good? I guess it looks good when you're hoping we don't win many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megna is what he is. He's not worth keeping in vs. seeing if there's anything to be had with Boucher, especially this year, with the caveat that Boucher is in actual game shape. No one is saying Boucher is a star (well I'm not anyway) but it would be interesting to see if he has any kind of chemistry with Sutter or Chaput. You're an armchair observer with no skin in the game, and your evaluations are deeply lacking in objectivity. Willy should definitely take his cues from you, since your just throwing stuff out there. You mostly comment in half-jest, so forgive me for not taking you seriously. I leave soon so that you can get your echo chamber going again.

If skille could he would look half decent. Skille is great. You're right, I shouldn't have said no intensity, but not nearly enough. He should watch some tape of early Burrows and Hansen shifts. That's how you break into the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that "hate"? You sure about that? Weren't you saying that it was Willy's error that we didn't play Tryamkin soon enough? I thought his success was in spite of the coaching staff. I thought he could handle 38 minutes a night (as long as he doesn't have to play with a weak partner). Are you honestly suggesting that the coaching staff can improve Boucher's footspeed in a matter of weeks, or is this another half-serious comment that allows you to live on the fence? Oh, and I'm so sorry for calling it hate when you slag a guy at every opportunity. (Btw - isn't Vey just absolute trash?

Willie is slotting guys in as they come back from injury in the order of how he has them ranked. When Larsen came back, Biega came out. Larsen is ahead of Biega. Debatable but that's where he has him. Hutton is coming back, Larsen comes out. Obviously, Tryamkin has earned a spot higher than Larsen. This is good. 6. Gudbranson? 7. Tryamkin 8. Larsen 9. Biega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 For guys like Boucher and Corrado, there should be a rule that you have to play them within a certain amount of time after claiming them on waivers. Or send them down which would require waivers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, after 2 years, I still have yet to be convinced of that as it relates to him vs. Gaunce. But, I get it. Gaunce is young, whereas Archibald is considered a career minor leaguer at this point. Let's see how Gaunce responds then... But, as I said, I've still yet to be convinced.
