Slegr Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 56 minutes ago, -AJ- said: Interesting that there are no split squad games this year. Lots of defensemen invited. Things I'm most interested in: How do Hoglander and Podkozlin look? Are they both good enough for an NHL job? If so, who do they bump to waivers/AHL? How good does Bains look? I don't expect him to win a job, but I wonder if he can impress in camp as he did in the young stars tourney. The battle for 3LD. Hirose vs Irwin vs Wolanin. Irwin probably gets 7D since he fits so well there, so it's most likely Hirose vs Wolanin. Rathbone and Woo have outside chances, but are unlikely to win the job. Agreed. I feel like Hoglander is skating on pretty thin ice. He has to be more consistent and get better at finishing if he’s to stay with the big club. And he really needs to score one of those lacrosse-style goals in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would be very frustrating to see him struggle after how much he dominated the AHL towards the latter half of last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Hogz is given solid time under Tocchet he'll surprise a lot of people. For me the issue here is the same as we've seen since Vigneault. The kids aren't getting playing time. Petey and Hughes aside, they're just not. Vets are burying their ice time and it's an endless march towards being benched and being left out of the mix in the press box. We have to allow these kids to play and Hogz is no different. I would have no issue seeing Hogz, Podz and a few others have a full non call up season in the AHL while we see some contracts expire to grow together. But I'd hate to see them brought up just to be buried on the bench or only playing 7 minutes a game or less 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some PP2 time would be awesome as well- confidence and creativity could excel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Podz comes in hot he could be sitting on first line to start the year. Just such an intriguing package to put with EP if he is ready. Should be an interesting camp.

I'd love to see them develop him into a pk player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rusty Shackleford Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Good interview. Liking Choach Toc more and more. Seems like management has settled in and found their stride. Hopefully the team gets a bump like it did back in the summer of '09. Trying to be cautiously optimistic but I'm pretty hyped for the season. This gave me a good laugh. Let's get this baby, started!

Rip The Mesh Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Jim did a whole bunch more chatting then I expected. Nothing about the press conference directly but it's nuts, even dumb that Aquillini hasn't managed to get a first class practice facility after all these years!

Preaching the same message. Clear concise answers. You could both see and feel the cohesion of the group. Thank God the Benning, Linden, Weisboro Bermuda triangle 'group' uhhhhhh... Is now behind us.
