Very proficient AHL scorer likely now too old to properly be called a prospect [25 and heading into his sixth pro hockey season] that's had some limited NHL opportunities with Columbus that haven't materialized. If nothing pops up this year for him he may look to something like the KHL where he can likely earn some good money over there.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the guy can become a star in the KHL.

You can trey, but you can't fix wolansky.

What is missing in his game that has prevented him from getting an NHL role?

Consistent offense. He can provide that at the AHL level, but not at the NHL level. He is ill suited for a bottom six role.

I have a friend who played a ton of AHL time. Made it pretty far in one NHL camp.

He said the difference between AHL and NHL is bigger than any gap he’s ever seen. All time to make decisions, like up shots, make your passes is so drastically reduced that even that half extra second to get off your shot makes the world of difference.

It’s the 0.01% of the 1% that make it

TJ Tynan is a perfect example. Has been a star at the AHL level for several years, but unable to crack the NHL.

TFW can score in the NHL. On a per minute basis he's scored well at times.

He throws hits. He tries hard. Fun player to watch.

But he's also a pylon defensively. He has very little reach and can't defend the point well. Very clearly not an NHLer, in my opinion.

Coached prep school baseball a few years ago with a pitcher who had just concluded his career at AA in the Cardinals organization. He described a very similar situation with the difference in time it took major league hitters to react to pitches as opposed to those who never make it to that level.

Consistency, size, not elite at anything to overcome the size and consistency issue... He's a tweener. Good player, not great. If not in a scoring role, likely doesn't add anything to a NHL roster. He's got some skill, but not quite enough... Skates well enough, but not high end... Willing to work, but out gunned against size.
