Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Bloomington Bison Thread: Part XV

[UnSandvich]

Love to see it. What is Sykora's potential?

My view of him has always been somewhere between a Ryan Callahan & Carl Hagelin. Before the Laf RW thing worked so well this year, he was actually my thought for future Panarin wingmate.

Love to see it. What is Sykora's potential?

I see people comparing him to Callahan. Would be great if he could be a Callahan light, the same motor def game etc., even if he is scores less.

It is worth noting that what he does in the AHL, he does at a VERY young age compared to other players in his mold. As he is just 19 years and 3 months old, it raises the question if there is even more potential there as he grows closer to his "peak". These type of players usually takes some time to get where Sykora already is, so will be very interesting to follow him in the future.

NB; looking at Marchands progress the years after his draft I wonder is Sykora can be a Marchand lite with less rat-DNA.

Cally figured out a way to make himself impactful in the paint despite not being a big guy at all. That’s really what I think will be the separator between him and someone like Callahan when it comes to production (it allowed Cally to play on a top PP unit and have a positive impact.) That’s not easy to do.

Sykora may have a legit chance at being a more impactful 3 zone player though.

Interesting uniforms

Bonino is also on a one year deal. That is at least three open forward spots.
By Hartford’s season end Drury & company will have a clearer picture on which Wolf Pack players can potentially fill everyday roster spots on the big club.
Exciting times.

I'd like to bring Bonino back on an affordable 1-2 year deal similar to Vesey.

The Rangers still don't have any center depth in the organization other than projects like BMB, Laba, and Korzcak who are at earliest fall 2025 from even being a thought for the main roster.

Chytil is going to have durability issues until he demonstrates he doesn't. Bonino's been invaluable this season.

We definitely don’t know where’s his “peak” but I think these type of players actually figure it out sooner in contrast to the bigger players who get first to dominate and score at will in juniors against smaller opponents and then have to relearn how to be effective against bigger NHLers.

They're specialty sweaters that will be auctioned to benefit the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. They'll wear them again tonight and also have a teddy bear toss.

Wolf Pack need to come back like their parent club just did.
Edstrom not playing. Still unwell.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

They should hand out plastic bags and twist ties when the fans enter the XL Center for the Teddy Bear Toss game.
They’re never gonna get that giant bear over the glass. They need to move to a lower spot.
it was Othmann goal with
assists from Broullard and Belzile.
Cuylle got the Teddy Bear goal last season.
Omen?
Rempe scores a few seconds after they clear the ice of the bears. Assists Pickar and Scanlin.
2-2 tie with Leigh High Valley.
Garand in goal. 18 minutes left in the 2nd.

 

[nyr2k2]

3-2 Pack, Rempe tied it right after they cleaned up the bears and Henriksson scored late in the second.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

End of 2. Hartford up 3-2.
Henriksson with the go ahead goal.
Missed part of the first but what I’ve seen of Garand he is playing very well.
Rempe has been mad about something. He’s been hitting anything that is not nailed down. Rempe had two more grade A chances but was unable to burry them.
One was a breakaway that he created and the other was at the end of the second. A stuff in that would not go.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Really enjoying watching this team this year.
Brett Berard with his 5th of the season.
4-2 Pack. 14 minutes left in the 3rd.
Edit:
Phantom score 1/2 minute later.
4-3 now.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Going to O/T. 4-4 Leigh High Valley will start overtime with 38 seconds of a 4-3.
Mackey took an elbowing penalty.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Brennan Othmann with the O/T winner. Reilly Nash was hurt in O/T standing in front of the Phantom net. Didn’t look good.
Hartford wins 5-4

If anyone knows Steve Smith’s head coaching record with the Pack , please post it.

 

[nyr2k2]

Really fun team to watch.

Giving a whole new meaning to the "chosen" one

 

[Raspewtin]

othmann had 8 SOG tonight, averaging almost 4 shots a game on the year.

edit: actually he’s 5th in the AHL in shots, 4 behind 1st place

 

[LeetchisGod]

Love this kid. Drury's draft picks are killing it right now.

 

[bl02]

And that is why he should be playing with the Pack. Gets terrific opportunities like playing 4 on 3 in overtime. I feel like first time in forever we are actually developing some forwards the right way.

 

[Levitate]

after such a slow start wonder if he has a shot at being a point per game by the end of the year...
