News: Gorton: Habs won't qualify RFA Jesse Ylonen

[BJCOLLINS]

he’s a casualty of a deep prospect pool in Mtl.

 

[Jared Dunn]

He's skilled but not enough to carry him, if he can become a better two way player he should be a bottom six guy.

Never really demanded an opportunity for more with his play when he was in the lineup, but he also is one guy St. Louis seemingly never was interested in giving a crack at a top 9 role to so he might pan out somewhere a coach will actually play him a bit.

I think Heineman has more edge to him and is otherwise a pretty similar player so I'd rather he just get the shot

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Wow a few fans believed he was lehkonenesq

 

[NobleSix]

He'd be worth a flier for a team with a lack of depth that can give him some decent opportunities in the bottom 6.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Jesse going back to Liiga.

 

[Tuggy]

I always rooted for Jesse, but just hasn't put it together.

He'll end up in Europe soon rather than later.

Nah totally different kind of players

 

[Lolonegoal]

Regressed from his already not NHL caliber self the previous year. Not skilled enough for top six but lacking physical abilities for bottom six. On top of already being 24.

He could find a home somewhere if he works hard.

Came here basically to post this. He was given some opportunities on the top line and wasn't up to par. Doesn't really have the style or strengths for checking lines. He's probably going to be one of the top player on a team in the AHL or Europe, or maybe some coach will be able to make something out of him in the NHL.

He's really good in the shootout, often gets picked in the 3 on a team with Caufield and Suzuki.

 

[MessierII]

Wouldn’t be a bad pick up for a team like Chicago.

 

[JianYang]

He is good at beating goalies on breakways.... only to not score.

 

[De Montreal]

Kind of player who will really benefit from the NHL expanding to 36 teams

 

[The Don Hughes]

He made bad player look good compared to him. Not surprised he's as good as gone.
