Do you really think LV might take Chaput bf Gaunce? NOT a chance. To me Chaput proved that he can be a pretty good NHL fourth line center last year. I'm sure other teams saw what we saw including McPhee and his Vegas people so sure, I can see them going for Chaput if that's the way the cookie winds up crumbling. I don't see them having any interest in Guance, they have no emotional attachment to him as their first round pick and he didn't really define a role for himself with his play. He wasn't physical, didn't chip in at all on the offensive and he labors with his skating. To me he's behind guys like Cramarrosa, Molino, Boucher, and especially Chaput, both on our depth chart and as an expansion draft risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is also older and had far more NHL experience. Which player has more upside? Still hard to tell but Gaunce has only 1 year of NHL and IMO he has more upside. Either one you choose has to show more next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 He's got some great wheels. Could be a nice bottom-6 player in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as Benning likes to say: "European skill with North American heart". Dahlen's like that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 That's unfortunate. Thought he had the wheels to play in the NHL but there's is more to this game than sheer speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategal Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Saw some quotes from Johnson about various prospects, he mentioned Molino, said he was learning how to be a pro, not sure what that meant although we did see similar comments with Jake at one point. Not giving up on him yet, nice thing with having a team in Utica is that players have the time and opportunity to develop, no need to rush anyone. He also commented on Goldy, said he's seeing lots of improvement in the details of his game so that's exciting news. He wants it to be that when Goldy comes up to the bigs, he sticks. I'll see if I can find the article as he mentioned one or two others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategal Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The comments are posted already as quotes from Rick Dhaliwal interview with Ryan Johnson, in the Utica Comets thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyStrecher Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Is Molino getting decent minutes with decent linemates? I'm quite amazed to see no points and so few shots in the AHL after how good he looked with the Canucks in the few games he played last year.

He's honestly been replaced on the depth chart by guys like MacEwen and D'Aoust. Which isn't a bad thing. Maybe Molino will turn it around by seasons end. He's certainly one of the better skaters.

86Viking Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Sounds like Molino has picked up his game since playing with Cassels. I was impressed by his speed last year when he played those final games with us. I figured he might be able to be a good 4th line energy guy who could be effective on the PK due to his speed. I would still like to see him get a chance. Once the deadline passes I would assume the chances Vanek and Burmi are here are less than 50%. I would waive burmi as it seems like he does not have the coaches trust. Molino seems like reliable defensive player, I wonder how much C he has played in Utica this year?
