Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL) / Maine Mariners (ECHL) 2018-19: Part IX

[Brooklyn Ranger]

Hartford is a young team, of course it's going to have trouble holding leads. Let's give it 10 or 15 games

Mr. Mediocre Lias Andersson keeps picking up the points.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

6 points in 5 games and a fight, Lias is forcing himself back to NHL. Too bad lazy Gorton only starts working his phone in February.

Oh, what should be do? Just call GMs and offer his players dirt cheap? You do realize that selling (same as trading down) returns a lower value than buying (same as trading up), right?

Who is playing RD for Wolf Pack?

 

[Blue Blooded]

Who is playing RD for Wolf Pack?

Bigras, Gilmour, Day/Pedrie IIRC. All left shots.

 

[Edge]

One of the more underrated aspects of Andersson’s game is his ability to get under the skin of opposing teams.

Not that we’d label him a pest or agitator, but he’s got an edge to his game.

A few of us have talked about it here and there, but it’s not really something that’s garnered a significant amount of attention.

 

[Osminator]

Pack must have made full use of Canada's new legalization today... holy smokes. Terrible showing vs. Laval Rocket.

BTW, not sure how long Sean Day will last in the AHL... his "brilliant" skating is a non-factor in this league, and he doesn't seem he has any other distinct skill.

 

[Irishguy42]

Fogarty ends the shutout bid. From Bigras and Gilmour.

 

[GAGLine]

Another from Foggy on a breakaway.

 

[nyr2k2]

Fogarty is killing it. He had a good camp. They should send down Lettieri or something and give Fogarty a chance to stick.

Also, Bigras. He's been great.

Mazanec, not so much.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Good for Fogarty. He looked really good in his one game callup last year and had a fairly solid camp.

As we've all seen in this league sometimes guys don't start catching up to the speed until they're 25-27 and then can carve out solid NHL careers for a few seasons. Rangers have has several guys like that since the 2005 reboot in PA Parenteau, John Mitchell, Paul Carey, and to a lesser extent because they were younger Jason Ward and Brandon Prust.

Once all this stuff gets figured out with Belesky and the IR situation/cap space, I'd definitely give Spooner a night off and have Fogarty center a more traditional 4th line.

It would put a true center on the 4th line, and one who is tailor-made to fill that role.

flipping chytil and fogarty so chytil gets more minutes should probably happen

flipping chytil and fogarty so chytil gets more minutes should probably happen

My preferred scenario is to have Chytil and Lias in the AHL to progress over the season, Howden slides into the 3C role with Fogarty playing 4C

 

[tradenashnow]

Andersson should be up. Chytil down. Chytil does nothing game after game but yet he still is on the roster.

 

[NYR Viper]

My preferred scenario is to have Chytil and Lias in the AHL to progress over the season, Howden slides into the 3C role with Fogarty playing 4C

I'd run with this for a while too. Chytil to the AHL and get him playing big minutes. PP. PK. ES. Same as Andersson currently. Fogarty is tailor made for that 4C spot

 

[nyr2k2]

Send down Chytil and Lettieri, recall Fogarty and maybe Meskanen for a look. Or, if the team is as impressed with him as I have been, give Gettinger a look. He may not produce yet but he'll be noticeable.

 

[Fvital92]

Put Chytil with Zibanejad and Kreider the next 2 games to see what he can do. If he doesn't play better, send him down.

 

[sjosty26]

How has Ronning looked in Hartford so far behind his stat line?

Combined 5GP, 0 pts from last year is a little concerning.

Looking to drop one player in my keeper league and it's either him or Sam Anas (MIN prospect) and I'm not sure who to drop. Anas had 61pts in 70 AHL games last year but is 25 while Ronning is 20. Both are really small players (Anas 5'8, Ronning 5'9)
