Musty will be a force, he is going to be such a pain in the ass to play against when he is fully developed. I think this is crazy that we have that kind of a player in our prospect pool right now.

 

[Alaskanice]

Musty vs. Mactavish for years!!

 

[themelkman]

From what I have heard he isn’t really a huge physical presence despite the size.

 

[Gecklund]

From what I have heard he isn’t really a huge physical presence despite the size.

Yeah that’s right. He isn’t. He’s physical like Timo was physical. He’s not throwing his body around but he’s strong and hard to push off the puck. He can and will use his strength to get to the net. He will get in front of the net and get in scrums. He’s not going to be chasing hits though which I’ll be honest I don’t want my top 6 forwards doing anyway,

Yeah that’s perfect. Not interested in guys like that because most of the time coaches will play that up instead of building the other aspects of their game

 

[CanadienShark]

Don't know much about him, but he's a name I've heard a lot of. I'm cautiously very optimistic.

 

[Alaskanice]

On Shengs site, a scout told him that he knows that teams were trying to trade up to get Musty. Good information.

 

[Hodge]

No idea what this is based on but Musty looks very promising.

 

[gaucholoco3]

I do see a high floor with Musty. I also like how well he complements our other top prospects. A solid pick at 26.

 

[Levie]

No idea what this is based on but Musty looks very promising.

Why doesn't it say "First line" and "Second line" or is there a Top 6 position which is not First line but also not 2nd line. Confusing.

When you're worse than the top-line winger at your wing position but better than the other top-line winger on the off-wing? So basically the second best winger who's on the second line due to being the "wrong" wing

I read it as this, and will use wingers as examples

1st line - Top player (Rantanen)
Top 6 - effective complement on either scoring line (E. Kane)
Bottom 6 - Good 3rd liner who might have reduced minutes on a deep team, can;'t hang in offense-heavy roles (Goodrow)
Replacement - Tops out at 4th line (Reaves)

Evander Kane should be considered a 1st line winger.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Evander Kane should be considered a 1st line winger.

If you're a contending team, having Kane as a top-line winger is a bit of a gamble...

 

[tiburon12]

Evander Kane should be considered a 1st line winger.

Idk, he has the skills to be but he never has produced over 60pts for various reasons. Hard to say that's top line production

Top Sharks Prospect Returns To His Junior Team Despite Trade Request​

 

[Hangemhigh]

Is it known why he wanted to be traded?

 

[Barrie22]

Is it known why he wanted to be traded?

Probably for the same reasons that fans that follow and keep track of prospect progress wanted him in london.

Sudbury is a bad team and the coach or previous coach (i have read that sudbury did fire a coach recently) is a run and gun offensive style of coach. So musty would not be able to fully work on the parts of his game that needs to be worked on.

 

[Gecklund]

Is it known why he wanted to be traded?

Because Sudbury had a shitty coaching staff.

 

[tiburon12]

Maybe i'm being dramatic, but i think Musty has lost his chance to be a contributing NHLer, to no fault of his own. Mark him down as another promising player whose development was stunted by the AHL/CHL agreement or whatever its called. There's almost no chance he makes any meaningful progression to his overall game this year, and that sucks.

He's not the first player to have this happen to them, but he might be the last.

I think you're being dramatic

His development could definitely be stunted this year, but we're also talking about a very talented kid who just turned 19 this summer. Good year or bad year (for whatever reason), his story is far from being written in stone.

If you see Musty as a high-end NHLer, who can lean on his scoring and offensive gifts to carry the day, then you have a point. He dominated the CHL, and now has to waste a year where he could be learning how to dominate the AHL.

But, if you see him as a guy who will contribute but also needs to improve some of his weaknesses, then I must differ. Those deficiencies can be ironed out in the CHL, with the goal of him making the AHL as a more well-rounded player next season.

lol, no, let's see in a couple of years. If anything, this should teach him.
