Guy looks legit I’ve obviously known of him, and no what his numbers look like. But he’s a seasoned pro back there. Knows when to flick it on net, knows to look for any type of deflection whether it be off a body, a tip in, anything. Good insurance to have on PP2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily pester a goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Cuylle has looked good but Othmann has been skating, hitting and creating opportunities to score. If this kid doesn't make the roster, he is going down to the A and will have an awesome season in time to step in next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he scored 0 goals in 14 games before blowing his knee out, and 0 in 40 the next season. Remember when Ryan Malone made the team off of a good preseason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like some of us have said going back to last season, and we're hearing at echoed by the coach now, that you don't have to have the fastest players in the league to play a fast game. Better positioning, better decision making, better planning, can all make a team appear faster than individual players can skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote On September 11, 2014, the New York Rangers announced they had signed Malone to a one-year, two-way contract worth $700,000.[9] On November 2, 2014, the Rangers placed Malone on waivers.[10] Due to an injury to Mats Zuccarello, the Rangers were able to avoid an emergency call-up and use Malone for another game. The Rangers had 30 days before Malone must be placed on waivers again.[11] On November 10, 2014, Malone was officially assigned to the Rangers' AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In six games with the Rangers, Malone recorded six shots on goal and was credited with 14 hits.[12] On February 3, 2015, after Malone told the Rangers he was no longer interested in playing professionally, the Rangers placed Malone on waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.[13] He cleared waivers on February 4 and his contract was terminated, making him a free agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This as a blanket statement is patently false. Preseason means a ton to players trying to make the team. It means a ton to Laugh. It's important for him to get off to a good start and show he can play on the right side. Is preseason success and indicator of regular season success? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. But to make a blanket statement that it's meaningless is naive. There's a reason clubs don't want players holding out and missing camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point made was that preseason is indicative of what happens in the regular season as if it's normal. The bold is not good enough. Once in a blue moon yes and overwhelmingly most of the time no is more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the worst kinds of fans. Honestly, I was discussing an isolated point about how a fringe player being impressive in preseason is not indicative that they'll perform well in the regular season. I didn't say it was the be all end all. Cuylle looks like he belongs. Physical but also with enough skill to take a regular shift in the bottom-6. Not playing scared like he did in his call-up last season. Othmann looks like he can take a regular shift. I still don't think there's any point in rushing him with as tight a roster as we have. Let him get first line minutes in the AHL. If we need a recent example of why it helps, see Cuylle above. I don't see all the hubbub with Rempe. Outside of being 6'7" he doesn't offer much. Emberson and Hollowell look like they could be a 6/7 D in a pinch if we have major injuries. Sykora looks solid but still isn't ready. I'm fine being positive, but I also believe in being realistic. Being realistic isn't being negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
