gwarrior Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Probably making room for a defenceman to be called up, if Soucy is gonna be out for a bit that is. Or because Blueger is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I am team Wolanin, but didn't they call up Hirose when Soucy was injured the first time? He didn't look very good, but I dunno. Tocchet was complimentary of his IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 To me Wolanin seems to be the right call up.To me I wouldn't be shocked if it was Hirose.Wolanin has had many chances yet never stuck,so why not give Hirose the chance.He might surprise and stick.

I mean he was a +5 in 16 games with us last year. I'm not sure what else you could expect from a depth dman. At the moment it doesn't look like Hirose is playing better than Wolanin in the AHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that but development is key and making a player NHL ready sometimes you need to give them a push. This could be it but we will see.

Hirose the team sees as a future NHLer with them. Let him play more minutes in Abby. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Hirose continue to log big minutes down in the A for his development. p.s._________I actually have no idea if Hirose is logging big minutes down there but I'm assuming that he is?

Provost Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The player to bring up is Matt Irwin. Solid journeyman guy who has been in the league long enough that it doesn’t hurt him to be in and out of the press box. None of our young players is forcing the issue in pushing their way into the lineup. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Call up should be Hirose over Wolanin. Wolanin has a bit of a Nikolay Goldobin thing going imo. An absolute monster in American league but never able to make it work in the National. Maybe the new coaches and structured play have helped him over the last year or so, but Hirose was cool as a cucumber last year. Although I haven't studied their play in any real depth this year so maybe I'm wrong there. But Hirose gets my vote at this point.

Hronek oc, Friedman, Myers, ... jeez that right side is dismal after Hronek. I'm hopeful Foote and Gonchar can help him reach that ceiling. Why not? Everything else seems to be working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the kinda of guy you want as a 7D. I'm a fan, even after him being horrible to start the year. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If Briser is ready to go, he’ll slot in. Otherwise I agree that Wolanin gets the nod over Hirose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Myers and Friedman have been playing really well and holding down the fort on the right side, but I agree, its not likely to last and boy is it thin after them. Friedman would ideally be suited to 7d that can come in with injuries or the odd game and play well. Juulsen can go wherever and not return. That second pairing RD is really the one glaring weak spot on this team that has so far been covered, but any injuries there and we're toast. Can you imagine a Hronek injury and we have to run Friedman, Myers and Juulsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best to keep him when he is currently our best option at 4RD and 2 of the 3 guys ahead of him are barely so. After we get a better player than Noah Juulsen, we can move him down, or trade him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien-Punch Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Wolanen always seems to get good chances when he's on the ice. Id like to see him get called up. Possibly pair him with Friedman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 10 hours ago, stawns said: doubtful, he's been nothing special in Abby so far. Good, but not NHL good, imo. Gotta be Wolanin. Why do you say that? Is there something about his game where he couldn’t play at the NHL level? Wolanin seems to be a career AHL player. Hes already 28 years old.

Well, wolanin was the ahl Dman of the year last season and is a PPG player this season so far.......hirose has been ok defensively, but has to register a point in 11 games despite being on a first place team. Obviously points aren't the main metric to judge a dman by, but you'd want to see production if he were next in line to be called up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
