Sounds like a Ducks statThe Gulls only have 8 shots through 2 periods, and they've had five powerplays. That seems suboptimal.
Does anyone have more information on why the Ducks are sending Dionicio back to Switzerland now ?
Of course, there have been a few incidents of indiscipline recently, but there have been before and it looked like he had stepped up his game recently.
Well isn't that a stark difference between what Pastujov took away from his demotion...I have no info, only my own speculation. Dionicio is capable of making things happen with the puck at the AHL level but he's not buying into (or capable of following) attempts to reign in his risk level and up his efficiency. He's far too "high event" of a player on both extremes, that coupled with the discipline issues is cause for concern.
I'm assuming they've sent him to the ECHL to send a message about learning to be more of a pro - and that Dionicio (+ his agent) balked at the demotion and stated a strong preference to return home if he's not getting AHL icetime.
Gulls don't play until next Friday (All-Star festivities are this Sunday and Monday) so they probably are just getting games in the ECHL and coming back up.Who is replacing them?
