...but I would imagine more GMs would actually call if he were benched to try to pluck him.

yeah that thought crossed my mind too, esp because he was so high profile at the end of last season, with the calder cup win and MVP trophy.

For those who claim that Weal HAD his chance, I STRONGLY disagree. Everyone focuses on that one play where he coughed up the puck in his zone, and totally disregard the good plays he made previously. If Weal had been 6'2 and 210 lbs, no one would make such a fuss over it, but because he's only 5'10 180, everyone chimes in with how inadequate he is in his own zone.

A "cup of coffee"??? More like a sip.

i TOTALLY agree with you.

few people comment on the passes, the work on the boards, etc. it's kinda like cutting off your nose (his nose?) to spite your face. you have to look at the whole performance. it wasn't a bad debut, it was a so-so debut. stuff to learn from. stuff to build on.

and it's especially worth considering in context. the whole team basically sucked in that game. so it's like weal is the collateral damage.

how come no one is complaining about all the silly penalties - esp o-zone ones - by the third and fourth lines in the last couple of games? why? because the top 2 lines have picked up the slack and are doing their jobs and so we're winning. and these lines were not gelling in the first couple of games.

as for size, definitely it's sometimes overrated but i guess that depends on a team-by-team basis.

Are you inferring no non-playoff team has ever upped the ice time of a guy they are willing to trade ahead of the trade deadline? You sure as shit don't pay attention to the Leafs then.

No it would be done try and show he could do with that opportunity since if he does anything good then it raises his trade value. If he doesn't it not like we would be better off without playing him not there. At power play sucks anyway if we can use him to raise his value then why not. All that is needed would be a couple of good plays with the puck would help his value. This would be playing to his strength. Again if your not going to play him 12 mins or more don't play him at all to me its wasting his abilities.

I was asked to find someone that got inserted in a game or increased his ice time i did no where was i told he had to be in a reg season game. I did as i was asked to do

You don't play someone to 'find out what he can do'. That's what training camp is for. You never risk points in the standings unless you don't care about those points. LA is gunning for a playoff spot, they aren't giving ice time to someone as a cup of coffee, they will play him because he's the best option. They also aren't playing him to up his trade value.

And you can consider me asking you to show me one example of a team showcasing a guy for a trade that wasn't out of the playoff picture. And since you've suggested this happens repeatedly, show us this example for the past ten years, not something from 1970.

How am i supposed to prove that without inside information on trades Insiders from tsn dreger and mackenzie have said this sorta stuff repeatedly As i posted in other posts this sorta thing happens but is kept between the two teams but happens Trade talk happens a lot more then actual trades. Stuff like this is kept quiet to try and not let everyone know As far as finding one trade like that I will glady go back and research it if you can provide me a link or a list of all the scouts at what games As it would be a necessary to have that to prove it.

no way i ve watched him being interviewed and hes shorter then Richards and richards is 5 10 UNless hes grown in the last month or so he under 5 10 also looked thinner but weight is a harder thing to say as anyone can gain / 5 to 10 lbs in a short amount of time

If you had read one of Gann's articles, you'd know that he's 5'10 and 180 lbs, but you keep on thinking what you want to think.

He was listed last year in the ahl monarch page as 5 8 at the beginning of the season I have seen that same list goto 5 9 later in the year I have also seen other publcations list him as 5 8 as recent as September All i know is i saw him standing up in a interview and he is shorter then richards who has been listed as 5 10
 
i read someone, maybe gann (?), saying that they saw weal and richards stand back-to-back - maybe it was when richards was sent down to the monarchs (?) - and weal was maybe 1/2 an inch shorter than richards at most. so that would put him at least at 5' 9.5". no way is he 5' 8." he's definitely taller than o'neill. as for his weight, weal talked about that himself, how he gained some weight not in past off-season but in the previous one.

I know what i've read and saw with my own eyes I remember reading someone like mayor or cnns saying that weal was at more then a inch or so more shorter then richards I have read it in several different books which puts him 5 8 3/4 or so to me. I looked at the monarch site last year at the begining of the year it said 5 8 then i went back a few weeks later it was 5 9 and stayed for the season The last time i saw him interview he didnt look any bigger to me. Now its possible he grew however im thinking its a healthy round up to call him 5 10
 
Jordan Weal is closer to 5'8" 180LBS than he is 5'10". Weal is a small guy for a Hockey player, there is just no hiding that, or dressing it up. Weal will play more games, it's just he has to work extremely hard for them. Is it fair ? probably not, but life is not fair.

Seriously he isn't 5 10 Asian girl wannabe. I'm 17 rows above ice level and he looked like a little boy out there. He's a hell of a lot closer to 5 8 then he is 5 10.
 
weal's taller than brian o'neill who is listed as 5'9". just look at this picture.

here's the thing i read; he says he didn't do the back-to-back thing w/richards:

On being listed at 5-foot-10, about the same height as Mike Richards, who played in Manchester this season… Truth time; who is taller?
“That’s a good question. It’s pretty close. I’d say it’s very close. We never did the back-to-back thing. I’d say maybe I’m a centimeter smaller, maybe.”
In part one of the interview with Weal, linked below for your reference, he dished on several of his Monarchs teammates and fellow Kings prospects. If you missed it over the weekend, it’s definitely worth checking out.

here's the article. he also says some interesting things about mersch...

http://mayorsmanor.com/2015/05/jordan-weal-i-am-not-on-a-personal-vendetta/

You are hilarious. Ever heard of the term "camera perspective?"
 
Pure speculation but I think management is higher on Weal than Sutter.

I love Sutter I knew Weal wouldn't see a game for some time after his cough up.

Reminds me of when Moller was listed at what, 5'10"? Dude was absolutely no more than 5'7".

Theo Fleury was 5'6-5'7. Moller's several inches taller than that. Heck, he was just little shorter than Brownie.

As for Weal's size, I'll take Gann's word over all of you guys. Heck, he's met the man, and interviewed him. If anyone would know, I'm thinking it would be Gann. But yeah, you guys are entitled to your wrong opinions.

No f***ing way. I'm 5'8" and seeing him walk around...5'10" was much, much more than generous.

Anyway point is guys get mis-listed all the time, but I trust Gann on this one too, and we all know from many accounts the kind of work Weal puts in, so not surprised he's solid too.
