We can advocate for a lottery expansion. hey Hansen was a 9th rounder, its at least possible that this turns into something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krutovsdonut Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) i assume kero is getting a paycheck reward and is an extra man on the roster insurance who is unlikely to dress. the canucks going down to 7 dmen and carrying 2 extra forwards likely means utica guys other than gaudette are going to see reward call ups where they may ride the pine but will cash cheques, especially if goldobin is also moved which i think is now likely. the comments on the broadcast last night by dan murphy was that coaching staff felt they had done all they can with goldy in terms of additional coaching and now it is up to him. that means to me he is down to his last chance.

Simon Kero is on a one way so no pay increase. Probably isn't expected to play so they rather keep Gaudette here for the time being getting a lot of minutes. Kero will get to practice a few times for Green to get a look at him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Some JB devotees(like yours' truly) were advocating patience here, to the Utica Brethren.

They were waiting for the housa'cards'collapse, & he held in til the (perhaps?) optimal time to make astute, assertive moves. Not huge moves, but a succession of minor/medium manoeuvres, that tweaked both clubs at key moments. With burgeoning youth & ample cap, he can continue this strategy for a lengthy spell, if need be.

You can say play the kids all you want, but if they aren't ready and playing well, you run the risk of absolutely shattering their confidence, which may take even more time to repair. Dahlen, Gadjovich and Lind are all playing better and getting better minutes recently as a result. Palmu was the overage late round pick, who was seemingly the odd man out with so many rookies in the lineup, but now he's playing bigger minutes with Kakko. Adding Pyatt, Leighton and Schenn will help out the prospects even more and now the Comets are on a trajectory to make some noise in the Calder playoffs.

They don't look on their team as an affiliate they see them as their home town heroes. Some of us need to walk for a bit in their shoes.

Why do you keep beating a dead horse? Because 2-3 people in Utica who write stupid crap on these boards? I won't speak for them, but I feel pretty lucky to have the Comets here, win or lose. There's probably more than 3,800 people in this town that feel the same way. I like reading the comments from everyone just to keep up on how the Canucks and Comets are doing. Why don't you just leave it at that? It's gotten real tiring. Edited January 18, 2019 by UticaComment 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez we should be the last people to throw stones in that respect. that's just not fair. i think even the strongest critics of the canuck's strategy for utica do it within a framework that respects that utica is a farm team that must put development of prospects first. their argument is that a well built farm team with its own structure and veteran mentors is good for everyone and especially for the prospects. i actually think it's remarkable how few "utica first" comets fans there are posting here given human nature.

I am 100% Utica first and not ashamed to admit it. The Comets are the pride of the city and we feel very blessed to have this level of hockey to enjoy in such a small town when compared to other cities in the AHL. Most Comets fans eat and breathe hockey and the success on the ice is extremely important to us. There is nothing more important to Comets fans than returning to the success of the 2015 Calder Cup run. Knowledgeable Comets fans understand the role of being a farm team and the importance of developing players for the Canucks and we love to see our former players playing in the NHL. But the success of the Comets is what really gets us going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just leave it at that? It's gotten real tiring. Point taken, & fair enough. Tbh, was quite frustrated from a Van/JB pov. A lot of people(& media) were getting shots & digs in, early on. There were simply too many holes in the dyke, & he'd fix one area to see another leak. Finally he seems to have a solid foundation at both levels. So we'll start to see some greasy wh*res cozy up to the bandwagon, claiming they've always been on board. The hypocrisy is a lot to take. Jim's not a smooth talkin' PR-type, & some of the denunciations & slags goin his way(especially on HF) Really p*ssed me off! I'll acknowledge I may have said too much(repeatedly:^)..apologies to any honest, true fans may have offended. This org is finally turning a corner, so we'll ALL have to get more creative in our search for issues to bicker about! Some of us might even get along, & CDC may start the overdue process of world peace! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
