GDT: '24-25 Wolves/Bison talk

[Svechhammer]

he’s had a generally successful organization for a long time so there’s really no reason to think he’s incompetent.

To be fair, he's playing to win in a league where the vast majority of franchises exist to develop talent, with winning being a secondary objective.

Not hard to have a successful organization when you go full try hard when nobody else can. And obviously it doesn't mesh with NHL needs given how fast they've burned through affiliates the last decade.

Wolves 1-2-1 so far, the1 win being OT, and currently down 2-0 to MIL. Can't say I expected that, I thought with the level of prospects they have that the team would be fairly dominant.

Still early in the year but yeah. At least they aren't last years team.

I think a few things are contributing to the slow start. First, they've played only Milwaukee and Hershey, who have been running excellent AHL teams out there in recent years. A significant portion of our guys have not played together much before given the events of last season, and that's gotta hurt, especially compared to the aforementioned teams. Also, Perets is cheeks.

ETA: Also, the coach would certainly have a big adjustment period given where he's been in recent years.

Wolves in action early today. Already down 1-0. Khazheyev getting his first AHL action which could be tough given he doesn't seem to have done all that well in his one partial ECHL game.

They were outshot 6-0 in the first 4 min (GA just 2:23 in), then the Wolves got 3 shots between 7-10 min, then nobody shot the whole last half of the period (shots 6-3 Iowa). Holy shit that looks like a boring game...which for a 12PM game on a Tuesday is fitting.

Iowa is looking for their first win - a couple not so hot teams.

one thing of note (at least to me, who missed it if it was mentioned before) - suzuki is playing wing now. i thought he had only played center to date but haven't paid too much attention in all honesty. if it is a new change, i hope it can afford him a wider path to the league - even if we have to trade him somewhere with more opportunity.
