After his first couple of rookie and training camps, I didn't think he would ever be offered a contract. He was that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have high hopes but he needs serious improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know all teams are in the same position, but having this taxi squad sucks. I'd much rather have guys in Rochester than in no mans land...practicing, but playing in few to no games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh oh FWIW, Craig Reevay said he talks to Mike Weber, assistant coach is Rochester, who told him that Mattias is ready for the NHL now. Nothing I’ve seen from their games tells me otherwise. He would instantly be the most physical defenseman this side of Risto or Borgen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not ready to be a top 4 dman as a rookie And if he ends up being so, somehow, COUNTING on that heading into next season, I don't need to mention - would be a huge mistake I'm not saying this is gonna happen I just said "uh oh" cause the though crossed my mind due to dudacek saying he was mentioned a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, play MS in a top 4 role to start. Get a good look at him all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t count on bringing up your depth when they are ready, when should you count on them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you kinda said it all in your own post The point is you are supposed to have someone there the new guy actually has to beat out. Irwin. We continually leave holes that can only be filled internally by best-case scenario results. The first time MS fights for a spot we should be counting on him for nothing. If we don't upgrade from outside, we are sticking Matt irwin between him and the spot he's probably not ready for the depth is never ready until we've seen them in the nhl, ready 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went into the season six proven NHL defencemen and Irwin and Davidson as proven filler ahead of Borgen and Bryson, the two kids you didn't pencil in, but hoped would beat someone out. Bryson has. Borgen appeared to be on his way to doing the same. Samuelsson entered the season at no better than 11th on the blueline and seems to be outplaying his slot.

I was talking about next year. But as for this year, Irwin was their 3rd left shot D to start and that's not good enough It's not ok for some kid to beat him out half way through the season haha. I'm talking in camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Pekar just ate some fists. This org really needs to work on fighting or get some guys that can do it. I know the sport is moving away from these players but you can’t have a team 100% void of anyone that can do the deed. Getting your face caved every fight can’t feel great. At least the Amerks have Dalton Smith who I’m sure we’ll be seeking out the 32 year old man beating up a 20 year old rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
