A few weeks of limited minutes and healthy scratches for Utica in 2017-18 before being dispatched to whichever ECHL affiliate is housing their cast offs. That’s fine enough for players on American League contracts, but it’s pretty embarrassing for a team to have that many NHL contracts in the ECHL, not because the talent level on the AHL team is too good, but because they can’t cut it at the next level.

250Integra Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Virtanen has been given the gift of size and speed. He has the ability to easily turn defenders around and fend them off using his body. The issue is he rarely uses this to his advantage and often takes weak floater shots that don't amount to anything. He has all the tools to be successful but his IQ is severely lacking. I must say he has improved A LOT in the defensive zone and he is looking more and more engaged though. Baby steps I suppose...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikhguy23 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Mac attack is playing today as confirmed on Twitter. Hopefully Granlund is sitting not Virtanen like some of you delusional posters want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what has impressed me the most." - Green on MacEwen "We'll see..." - Green on who comes out of the lineup "Pouliot has had the odd giveaway that people want to see him taken out of the lineup. It's not like we're sitting here with a plethora of other guys knocking on the door to play. I also don't want to put another young man in the lineup that isn't ready as well." - Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Too bad I gotta work tonight so I can't watch his debut. I hope Macewan plays on a scoring line and finds chemistry early and often. I've been waiting for his call up for what feels like forever. Hope he energizes the boys. Also I hope Marky plays lights out again! Do we see DiPietro before he's sent to juniors?

250Integra Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'm guessing either Goldobin or Granlund will be sitting. Leivo - Pettersson - Boeser Roussel - Horvat - Virtanen Goldobin - Sutter - MacEwan Eriksson - Beagle - Motte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is figuring things out. like you said, a “kid”.. Whats with everyone expecting every draft pick to be a McDavid, Mathews, or Peterssen being blown out of an ass and onto the ice? Development still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
