I think BA wants him coming back with a chip on his shoulder too.Im sure Dylan was disappointed when he was demoted, but he's obviously having a blast with playoff hockey. I think he'll come back to the desert with renewed confidence.

Yes, like the one Shane Doan carried around for his 1500 game career or whatever after being sent to Springfield early on.I think BA wants him coming back with a chip on his shoulder too.
You are welcome.Geekie with a hat trick tonight giving Winnipeg Ice a 3-2 series lead in the Whl playoffs.
Hoping Benson can get back to 100% soon.Geekie helped close out the series with another 2G 1A.
On to round 3 where the Ice will still be the favourites. Round 4 - the WHL finals - is where they might meet Guenther and the undefeated TBirds.
He just doesn’t yet look like same player. Understandably so but if u r a team concerned about his durability it doesn’t help.Hoping Benson can get back to 100% soon.
The Ice better be ready, the Blades have some serious momentum. Would love to see Geekie vs Dylan.Geekie helped close out the series with another 2G 1A.

And I’m stubbornly maintaining that there is more to him than this. I’ve seen him be a line driving, puck carrying, dual-threat, complete offensive force. Even as a center. He’s not just an opportunistic sniper. Even if that’s what role he eased into in the NHL and the WJC and to some extent in Seattle.What a season it's been for Guenther.
7 goals in 7 games to win gold at the WJC.
6 goals in his first 33 pro games.
Now 11 goals in 9 WHL playoff games.
I agree...but with Seattle, Lambert takes up a lot of the puck time, so you see a little playmaker in there, but his shooting is superb and he's crafty around the net. He has all the instincts you like to see from goal-scorers, patient in tight to make plays and a lethal shot from his kitchen. Should be a great goal scorer for us for a long time.And I’m stubbornly maintaining that there is more to him than this.

When he got back to junior he was playing too much like a pro. Coaches had to work with him to make him stop playing like a pro and start playing like a junior again. And this is…good…for development…I guess?This is an overlooked counterpoint to “over baking”. It’s not risk free:

The final Coyotes prospect report of the season will be a condensed one. Only four prospects are still active in their respective leagues' postseasons, wewww.gophnx.com

I’m not mad about this particular situation. I think it’s okay. But I think it’s justified to push back that it’s always better to overbake and there’s no risk. Like anything else, there’s pros and cons.
