Nice to see Ilyin producing again. Had something like 7 points in the first 10 games and then went scoreless in 7 or 8 games

Another 0.5 PPG + in the KHL as a 19yo would be nice to see.Nice to see Ilyin producing again. Had something like 7 points in the first games and then went scoreless in 7 or 8 games
i like brunicke but i don't want him anywhere near sully.Another goal for Brunicke but it wasn't anything special so I won't link it. I'm thinking Brunicke stays in Kamloops as he's got another year of eligibility left and they're actually showing some improvement. Regina (and Moose Jaw) are dead last and Howe is a 2005 birthdate so this will be his final season so I could see him being dealt. Maybe him and Yager go to the same team.
one point in eight games? That's a disgrace for what he showed here! He has to be sulking! He needs to ACCEPT he's not ready yet. He needs to grow up, do what he's told and contribute! If he's our NO 1 prospect this doesn't bode well!Anybody who watches Wbs, is McG just snake bitten or does he look completely invisible? Because his stat line is kinda garbage.
I don't watch WBS but he's a 20 year old kid in a league full of men. The AHL is still a very good league. I think some patience is required here.Anybody who watches Wbs, is McG just snake bitten or does he look completely invisible? Because his stat line is kinda garbage.

Bryan Rust for example played four full years of college hockey. Rutger had he chosen to do so could have played two more years of college hockey.
It'll take time.
Maybe just putting too fine a point on things instead of just gripping and ripping it, like he did on his goal.From the few games I've watched, Rutger was finding good looks but would fumble the puck or just miss the net. Seemed like a confidence issue and just getting up to speed in a new league

He’s 2 years older but Broz is exceeding my expectations. Might be one of those guys that just does better in the pros than his NCAA production would suggest, like Rust.
Sure, we can blame McGroarty. But we KNEW what we were acquiring. This was a prospect who felt he was ready for the NHL, but his previous organization prefers veterans over younger players. Whether that is true of Winnipeg is open for debate. But for the Pittsburgh Penguins, it sure as hell is true.
So we acquire him for our top prospect and basically treat him like any other prospect. Go down kid and we will call you when (if) we need you.
This entire thing was botched from the start. This is an example of the disconnect between Sullivan and Dubas. Because if Dubas really does love Sullivan as much as some suggest, then he is as dumb as rocks! Because he had to know that Sullivan would want no part of McGroarty before age 25.
If this does not change, then it won't matter how badly we tank or whom we draft. Let's all remember, Mike Sullivan was not around when Crosby, Malkin and Letang were starting out.
Yeah I mean McGroarty clearly needs work. If he was NHL ready he would be dominating the AHL right now and he's not.People here acting like Sullivan is benching top prospects like Michkov for Acciari. McGroarty at his absolute peak with everything going right is a 2nd line forward.
The reality is that the Pens prospects aren't that good and should be developing with top minutes in the AHL in the hopes that they become something.
Theres also a fairly decent chance he doesn’t figure it out. Anyway, we’re definitely the wrong type of organization for a player like him.Yeah I mean McGroarty clearly needs work. If he was NHL ready he would be dominating the AHL right now and he's not.
This isn't like say Puustinen who has proved it at the AHL level repeatedly and yet still gets jerked around by Sullivan and not given chances. McGroarty has done nothing at either the NHL or AHL level to show that he's NHL ready. He just hasn't.
Kid needs time. It's fine. He's 20. He'll figure it out.
We're the wrong type of organization for any prospect because we have Mike Sullivan behind the bench and he doesn't treat prospects well.Theres also a fairly decent chance he doesn’t figure it out. Anyway, we’re definitely the wrong type of organization for a player like him.
Developing until age 26, of course. That is the team M.O.People here acting like Sullivan is benching top prospects like Michkov for Acciari. McGroarty at his absolute peak with everything going right is a 2nd line forward.
