John_Guest Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Oh well, maybe next year for a stacked center ice. There's Madden ready to break out of college hockey. I think Carson Focht will be 20 next year and we can cross our fingers for the swede, Linus Karlsson, we got for what's-his-name, the kid we thought was going to be a star.

TomatoPieFan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I've been a subscriber to AHLTV. It's excellent to have. You have options like listening to the home or away play by play so even if the Comets are on the road you can still listen to Joe Roberts our guy. I believe this promo only requires you to sign up for a free account to get the games this weekend. You do not have to subscribe to a package. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Vets: Baertschi Biega Boucher Camper Graovac Bancks Hamilton Vet-Exempt: Goldobin Bailey Based on that information, does a lineup like this look reasonable? Baertschi (V) - MacEwan - Lind Goldobin (VE) - Hamilton (V) - Boucher (V) Perron - Graovac (V) - Jasek Gadjovich - Malone - Stevenson? Juolevi - Biega (V) Brisebois - Chatfield Sautner - Rafferty Teves, Eliot McIntyre DiPietro Bachman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BGG line is your go to scoring line The BMJ line provides a good secondary scoring punch The PML line might be effective as a checking line The BSG line could be the energy line (better known as the bash and crash line) Coach Cull is going to have the same issues with all the vets as he did last year but with much better players to choose from overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Baertschi - MacEwan - Lind as a line because I wanted Baertschi's NHL experience and high caliber of play to rub off on the two prospects. Specifically, I wanted Lind's offensive game to improve playing with an elite AHL talent and MacEwan deserves to be close to NHL caliber players as well. I had Boucher and Goldobin together as they were junior teammates and have shown chemistry in the past. Perron and Jasek were playing together a lot in development camp if I remember correctly so I just paired them together. On defense, pairing Beiga with Juolevi for many of the same reasons as the top line. Sautner is one of the Comet's better defenseman and I don't think there's any way he get's taken out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton and Bancks should both be watching from the press box until there are injuries and replacements are needed. Finally if there is one thing that I've learned from watching the Canucks farm team with the current management team in place is they put players in positions where they project them in the NHL and not the positions they played in juniors. MacEwen has been used exclusively on the wing and I expect that to continue this year. If Travis Green doesn't see Big Mac in the middle in Vancouver he will stay on the wing in Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Good point about Camper; I forgot him in my mix. I would love to see both Hamilton and Bancks watching from the side lines this year but doubt that is going to happen. So if Big Mac plays on the wing who would you project as being the odd man out esp. if camper is in as the # 1 or 2 Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Injuries will solve the overcrowding soon enough but the AHL plays a heavy weekend schedule with a lot of 3 games in 4 nights. Plenty of opportunity to shuffle vets in and out. If Goldy starts with the lazy play again that he is known for I would rotate him out and Bailey in. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the opening night roster that includes 27 players to start the 2019-20 season. Baertschi Biega and Goldobin have not yet been officially assigned to the Comets. Jake Kielly has been re-assigned by Vancouver to the Kalamazoo Wings. Goldy hates being in the AHL. His individual skills excel at the AHL level and he does score goals but his team play is lazy IMO.
