[Anaheim4ever]

AHL defense next year:
Mintyukov/LaCombe
Zellweger/Helleson
?/Andersson

Pastujov added to the forward group.
Should be better team on paper.

Looks good on paper but that's a lot of kids and I bet if that's the D lineup we lose a lot more games than some of you think. Definitely need some veterans and toughness/grit back there... especially in the A, everyone's trying to make it to the show and taking liberties/doing whatever it takes to score.

Is Minty even AHL eligible next season. He's only D+1

Yes he is.

 

[All Mighty]

Is Minty even AHL eligible next season. He's only D+1

Draft year is irrelevant, birth year is what matters.

 

[AngelDuck]

Is Andersson going to be in the organization next year? Don’t see much there

 

[Static]

Mintyukov has a couple assists, hinds has an assist.

Ian Moore has an assist.

Lacombe is 1+2 and thrun is scoreless, so we win obviously.

 

[bsu]

LaCombe with a new play here.

 

[DavidBL]

Draft year is irrelevant, birth year is what matters.

Yes. But usually the birth year is what dictates draft year. Looks like he was born right between those cutoff dates. 20 by December, 18 by Sept that's encouraging.

 

[Static]

Mintyukov has added a goal, now 1+2.

Which ones should stay in the juniors and which ones if any go to the NHL so that they can fit veterans/toughness into the AHL defense. LaCombe was drafted in 2019 so maybe he earns a spot in camp ?

I guess if Thrun signs with Boston Bruins he goes to their AHL team and if/when there is injuries he gets a call up maybe.

You forgot Hinds in the mix for potential AHL defense.

Hinds-LaCombe
Minty-Helleson
Zell-Andersson

It's an interesting group. If we retain Andersson, which we should, then he'll be going into his 4th AHL season. Helleson will be entering his 2nd AHL season. LaCombe has been stewing in the NCAA for the past four seasons playing against bigger and older competition that the CHL guys coming over in Zell, Hinds, and Minty.

Hinds might be our best shutdown defensemen.

 

[Static]

Pastujov is 1+1 tonight, mintyukov named first star of the game.

Olen is already 1+1 after one period.

 

[Static]

 

[Static]

Zellweger is now 1+3, King 1+1.

 

[Static]

Perbix finished the night with a goal.

 

[Static]

Zellweger named first star of the game, long third star.

Edit: king, haha

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Zellweger named first star of the game, long third star.

long third star?

LaCombe > Thrun

[Hockey Duckie]

LaCombe > Thrun

You know what's sad is Thrun wears the C for Harvard. It's a bad standard for loyalty, for sure, ditching the Ducks on purpose since last season.

The one thing LaCombe oozes so much of that Thrun doesn't possess is that skating. At this year's dev camp, LaCombe's skating is as smooth as Zellweger's, especially at the figure 8 catch-and-pass the puck drill.

If LaCombe can improve his level of physicality then I think he's got a pretty good shot at an NHL career. Right now he reminds me a bit of Cam Fowler which isn't a bad thing but I worry about him not being able to handle the physical aspect of the game at the next level.

Yep, same was with our last wave of D (Theo, Monty, etc). We signed several veterans which seemed weird at first but was actually useful down the road. I expect the same now, as much as the new ones are skilled and exciting, no way they're successful without some veterans
