2023-24 San Diego Gulls/Tulsa Oilers

Ohh... maybe Lopina plays like Caulfield did on the line with Tracey-Gaucher. That's a nice recovery and feed by Tracey to Lopina for the goal.

So Verbeek traded Perreault for a dude to center two ECHLers?

You say this as if Perreault is some highly valuable asset, he’s currently scoreless and playing on Laval’s bottom 6 as well. I agree though that he should be playing higher in the lineup, though I haven’t seen him play to be able to say if he’s actually looked any good or not

No, just a fairly recent late 1st round pick. Both probably won’t be NHLers, it’s just an interesting trade because people had hopes for Perreault at one point.

And the Gulls lose, 6-4. At least the Gulls are able to score.

Nesterenko is the only forward down there that has potential to be more than a 4th liner. A sad state of affairs

One dimensional, Gaucher has potential to be a 3rd liner/2nd line passenger

Barring a huge step forward offensively in the next 1-2 years, Gaucher will never be more than a 4th liner. He probably slots in as Sam Carrick's replacement.

Welp, the Gulls were almost fully healthy…

For those curious, Gulls lose 4-2.

Don’t understand the Nesterenko hype (?)

Just another fringe forward down there. If he was good enough he would’ve been called up by now

Hopefully more "useful support player" rather than "passenger" but yeah I'm not writing his ceiling off at 4th line just yet either.

Hype? I think he can be a 3rd line depth scorer. Not sure what hype you’re talking about. He’s a 1st year pro that got off to a tough start but has been good since. Expecting him to be called up shortly and make the team out of camp next season

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

For those curious, Gulls lose 4-2.

Fell asleep thinking they had done a good job eliminating Bourque and then I wake up to see he score both goals in the 3rd. Ah well. Essentially zero chance they make the playoffs at this point.

This shtick of never discussing our prospects except in the case of dismissing them every time someone suggests they might be an NHLer is pretty tiresome

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Every prospect is nobody until they become somebody

I look for progression...if I don't see it from year to year or from early in the season to late in the season then it's red flag time. Nesterenko seems to be showing some progression. If he can develop into a 3rd line player then the Ducks have a big win out of him.

Mysak already a healthy scratch here, and Perreault was a healthy scratch today for Laval…

[All Mighty]

Gawdin hat trick, but a guy on Calgary also has a hat trick. Gulls down 5-3 early in the 3rd.
