Bobby Mcmann

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So last night Bobby Mcmann scored his 11th goal in 44 games, and it got me wondering is this just a hot run? Or assuming he's healthy enough to be on the roster coming out of camp next year can he carry this into next season and score 20 goals?

If he can then not as much work needs to be done up front, there are still decisions that need to be made but Bobby Mcmann being a 20 goal guy on the 3rd line next year would be huge.

Do we have a gem here?

On another note, unless they changed it after the game he didn't get an assist on the 1st goal and he should have he clearly touched it.

It's McMann.

I think he can def score 20. He had all the tools, just a late bloomer. Very late bloomer. Given his speed he could be an effective 3rd line C for us. It’s his natural position, I’m surprised they haven’t tried him there yet.

He's been great on the wing let's keep him there.

Let's not play wingers at center.

not suggesting this should happen immediately, but he is a natural center and skates incredibly well. I think he'd be a much better fit at 3c compared to a Kampf.

Great success story. Perfect third liner.

I'd like to see him do it next year before I say he's the perfect 3rd liner, still have to show he's not a flash in the pan, but it certainly looks promising.

Too much McMann for you to handle?

1 goal in first 17.
10 in 27 since (that’s a 30 goal pace)
Even if it is a hot streak so to speak, 20 goals feels like a realistic possibility.
Similar production to Jarnkrok seems like a fair expectation next year imo

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Forget next season I'm starting to wonder if he can do it this season.

He'd have to heat up a little bit but he's got 14 goals he's got a shot to hit 20

Please edit the title to reflect his birth name.

Bobby Mcmann McMatthews.

No news is bad news I guess for his return.

I would love to be able to sub him in to the series with fresh legs.

Any Marlies fans out there?

Did he play C at all down there?

DB, EP and every other publication out there lists him at C. The fact that a young forward's position has him listed at C because that is what he played in the minors, isn't necessarily an outlier. They usually however typically have them listed as C/LW for example.

Seeing as we're perpetually looking for someone to fill the 3C roll, wouldn't he seem like he would be worth a look? Big body, tenacious, defensively responsible - with offensive upside.

Has he had any shifts at C that I'm unaware of?

 

[Ciao]

That's actually not too bad an idea.

 

[TMLAM34]

I don’t really watch the Marlies but the few times I have, I’ve always seen McMann line up on the wing.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

People seem to think it's easy to step in and be a center at a whim. It's not what it seems.

Is he injured or not

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Anyone know why he isn't on the opening day roster ?

He’s been awful this preseason and he hasn’t earned his spot. He’s been outplayed by Robertson. I know he’s coming back from injury as well but he’s been completely unnoticeable.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Isn't McMann hurt?

McMann should not be sitting

I’d prefer to see McMann in as well.

We have too many redundant forwards and I do not like McMann sitting over Reaves at all.

Reavo over McMann ?

Berube better not overplay Reavo.

Hope that changes.

McMann > Reavo

Sucks but at least Berube is sticking to his word. You have to play your way into the line up and whether we like it or not Reavo has looked better than McMann. McMann still looks a half step behind. I’m sure by the end of the season he’ll be in the lineup

Injuries will happen, he will draw back in eventually. It is unfortunate that he lost his place after doing so well and asserting himself last season. We really could've used him in the playoffs too, the depth scoring (and scoring overall) was really lacking.
