Or are they just being given the few regular season games left to get that taste of professional juice in their mouth? I heard Goldy will play the playoffs, if he counts as a prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Tweet said he was practicing with Chaput and Tanner MacMaster. After looking at that video again the does look like the three players in white.

Unless Lind and Jasek completely fall on their faces I expect them to be a part of the Comets line up in the playoffs. I think the days of not playing late season junior additions to the line up ended when Travis Green moved up to Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton had one regular season game, then sent back to the gym. McCann watched from the stands. That was a Travis Green thing. Heck he still doesn't like to play Ben Hutton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 44 minutes ago, Alflives said: there are three forwards in white working their down low play against two D in green. Considering two of the forwards are left shot, and Lind is right shot, I'm thinking it's fairly likely Lind is the right shot player in the white sweater. This would look right to me too...the right shot forward in white...he moved like Lind and got his shot on net...like Lind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that young Subban is not of that 1984 Thought Police mind-set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impressive how this town rallies behind the Comets. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely unreasonable. Kole definitely has a chance, as do the rest of our top prospects. I also think JB kinda feels the same way as me when it comes to our prospects—can’t help but see them all as potential NHLers. He’d probably sign all our draft picks if there wasn’t a contract limit (mostly kidding ). But clearly he’s high on Kole Lind. Which is great. Kid’s done nothing but impress. Hopefully he has an accelerated development curve and starts pushing for a role as soon as next season.

Derp... Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Lind has a good tool set for the pro game, but needs to work on the 3 basic things all prospects need Speed, Strength, and Consistency If he can make some gains in those 3 areas this summer his skill set and hockey IQ should allow him to at least compete for a spot at training camp. I think he would be better served playing in the AHL for a year at least though. Trent Cull seems to be a good coach, and Green will surely be busy with the other young guys he coaches/mentors at the NHL level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Comets season first started I wasn't all that sold on him, but he sure has won me over. Amazing with all the players Utica has had out over the course of the season that he has them in the playoffs. Unreal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not that surprising. All prospects of quality will have a chance to break into the Canucks lineup next year. It's pretty obvious that they're going the Devils/Aves route next year by going younger and giving prospects a chance to crack the lineup. That said, I don't think Lind will make it. A year or two in Utica will do him a lot of good. I expect guys like Michael Carcone and Zack MacEwen to make more of an impact in training camp then Lind (or Gadjovich), at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got so many young guys with such high potential I’m expecting one of the 3 dahlen lind Or gadj to show up and surprise everyone and earn a spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
