It's going to push SKILL players like Goldobin, Boeser off the roster sheet. /sarc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his stat sheet I have no idea how I ever had that impression. e: was confusing him with Josh all this time. 0.58 ppg with Rochester, Lehigh Valley......solid performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a slow start (tons of chances, just not finishing). He scored a beauty tonight, powering around the outside of a D - he is up to 7g 7a 14pts in 23 games and 3G 2a in his last 5 games. He looks like a project, much like MacEwen, except that Bailey is definitely a superior skater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Bailey with the hat trick tonight in Utica. This guy is 6’4” 210 and skates like nobody else in the AHL - he has amazing wheels and good hands 19g 11a 30 puts in 39 games. More interestingly, two hat tricks in his last three games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Time to send MacEwan down and call up Bailey. Big Mac needs to be playing and we need to see what we have with Bailey. Put him in for Schaller for a couple. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are question marks with Bailey’s defensive play - he is a work in progress - but he is an NHL skater, and hopefully Utica coaches can make him an NHL player. But he really is a very intriguing guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Bailey's dad played in the NFL ..... the kid could be a late bloomer... I would love to see him get a few games for the Canucks this year... He has played a number of games in the past for the Sabres..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 All this sizeable depth they've been adding should be helpful in the later months. Bailey, MacEwen & Graovac could wind up contributing. Schaller's 1.9 will be sweeet to dump in a ditch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying it for a few years now (mostly because I had him in fantasy until recently), kid has ALL the tools to be an NHL player. Now it's just a matter of whether he can put them together at this level. Exceedingly low risk/high reward signing this summer and I was thrilled we took a chance on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Maybe some others that watch the Comets regularly can comment but I wonder about his ability to play consistently in the NHL? He skates like Jake does but he seems to loose the puck a lot. Also, he is a big guy who doesn't really play that big heavy game that you expect from a guy his size. I would like to hear what others think. Edited January 16, 2020 by dpn1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Alex Grenier was prominent in the AHL and fizzled any time he stepped into the NHL. Hopefully Bailey is just a late bloomer rather than a good AHL player. Maybe Benning's comments about looking for another top 6 guy has motivated some players internally. Benning never said it had to be acquired through trade. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he skates like crazy, is mostly too big to take off the puck once he gets position on a defender, and incidentally scores goals in bunches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Two hat tricks in three nights, not bad for a guy someone called a plug. He has been good for the Comets this year and could be a nice little surprise. Just no room for him really but they should let him get a cup of coffee up in the bigs at least.

Ray_Cathode Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Bailey with the brace so far tonight - eight goals in his last four games with more than a period to go. This guy is on a scary run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
