If they're planning on playing both Vinni and Ty, they have too many forwards and someone else should go down.

yeah, 15 F's on roster -
Butler, ODonnell, St Amant on AHL deals,
AAAA vets Holland, Beleskey, Brickley and
9 'prospects' Fogarty, Lias, Meskanen, Gettinger, Gropp, Fontaine, Ty, Vinni, Leedahl

maybe Leedahl (00 pts, 27 games) or St Amant (04 pts, 25games) go to Maine
TheAHL.com

or maybe some NHL playoff hopeful takes Holland or Beleskey for roster depth
(or Brickley, please, how about a 7th in '20)

What's everyones thought on the coach McAmbridge or something or other?

Does HFD switch gears with that next year?

I don't like his line combos, but that's every coach. LOL. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem like anyone cares down there, which is a horrible problem for the Rangers organization. If they continue this limp-dick play the rest of the year you pretty much have to fire the guy.

Pack 1-1 halfway through. Lettieri with the goal. Halverson has stopped 23/24.

Also, Sam f***in' Gagner plays in the AHL now. He was for sure a disappointment but had always been a decent NHL producer. Crazy to see him there.

Agreed, and I don’t like that he’s a hangover from AV and his Arniel connections. I would’ve liked to see them bring in a whole new coaching staff to help get everything in line for Quinn’s plan and vision.

A huge issue is the failure at drafting and adding talent from the 2012-16 draft years. It’s unacceptable that they’ve been this bad for this long.

I dont get the hate on Beleskey, he's better than Mcleod and I think he should have been playing with the Rangers and the only reason he isn't is for the purposes of burying his contract.

A push broom is better than McLeod. Sure, Beleskey would have been a better choice; Cole Schneider, Steve Fogarty, or any number of other guys would have been, too.

Beleskey hasn't looked very good in Hartford. I mean he looks like an OK AHL player, but not an NHL player by any means.

Ha, I remember Flinn. He played with Brock McGinn, Fabbri, Rychel, and Kosmachuk (who was with us last year). All those guys were supposed to be pretty good NHL players, including Finn; all went rounds 1-3 and none of them have really amounted to much. I guess Fabbri is okay, and McGinn is a mediocre role player, but Rychel and Finn busted. Kosmachuk is an AHL guy. That Guelph team was really good though, they won the OHL Championship and almost won the Memorial Cup.

Matt Finn scouting reports from the archives

Matt Finn at eliteprospects.com
A very smart two-way defenseman with leadership qualities. Plays with great authority. Very smart in his own end and valuable offensively with a good passing game and a hard shot. (EP 2012)

Hockey's Future - Matt Finn
Talent Analysis
Finn is a heady player described as a solid all-round threat. He is a strong defensive player that can handle tough assignments and can read the developing play and react accordingly. Finn's offensive game has continued to evolve. He needs to continue to add physical elements to his game as he is currently a bit undersized for an NHL defenseman and his skating is a concern.
Future
... the former second-round pick has had a tough time making the transition from juniors to pro hockey but has shown signs of his NHL potential playing with the Mavericks. Finn's size and offensive ability make him an intriguing prospect but the skating concerns that dogged him coming out of junior hockey continue to be an issue

Resorting to insults is not required. If he was such a good prospect he’d be in the NHL right now on a completely terrible forward group. He’s not and he remains buried in Hartford sulking and looking over marched. All you die hard supporters of this guy are just dreaming of what you want to think is possible.

Maybe this analogy will help— imagine racing against cars of similar speeds. At that level, it’s about how good the driver is because everyone is going at the same speed. Now imagine taking that same car and entering a race with cars faster than you. You still think you’ll win that race? Be competitive?

You can’t ignore skill set because his skills were good enough to put up good numbers at lower levels. To do so, is to completely disregard the progression of talent it takes to even be competitive at higher levels.

I could care less what Lias did against bad competition— he’s done nothing, if not regress this season, and being a young player who does not seem hungry is not a recipe for success.

You analogy sucks and the way you evaluate prospects suck too

Hartford against Bridgeport tonight. 1-1 after the first period. Halverson is in goal. Lettieri with the Pack goal. Matt Finn on our D. Bigras and Meskanen are not in the lineup. I don't know why. Thomas Hickey and Andrew Ladd playing for Bridgeport---LOL.
 
Bigras hurt in Wednesday game. From Greg Markiewicz twitter account.

"The Pack also may have lost defenseman Chris Bigras for a period of time as he appeared to suffer a knee or ankle injury, the Pack signed 2 defensemen to PTO deals, Derek Pratt and Matt Finn #HWP #HartCity #FeelTheImPACKt"

Look forward to your report. 3-3 late in the 3rd. Hartford outshooting Bridgeport 25-21.
