I like him as a guy to compete in camp and contribute in Rochester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chileanseabass Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I got to see a lot of Dalpe while he was in Charlotte. He has decent size, but doesn't really use it. He's a finesse player with good vision on the ice and a nose for the net. It has never translated to success with Carolina or Vancouver, as he seems to blend in the with skill level he's paired with. Two years ago he came out of Carolina camp flying on a line with E Staal (I think Buccigross predicted he'd win the Calder on Staal's line). Once he was bumped off Staal's wing, he disappeared. He played mostly 3rd/4th line minutes in Vancouver and didn't do much. He's dynamite as a top line guy in the AHL, but his skill set just doesn't translate to the 3rd/4th lines of the NHL. I do like the signing though, good for Rochester or as a recall guy, and maybe he can really impress in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Essentially, a replacement for Kevin Porter, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
