LHD Olen Zellweger - San Diego Gulls, AHL (2021, 34th, ANA)

[Gliff]

I mean that's my point. If he's pushed out of his spot then that means the LD kids have made incredible progress really fast.

Ya I was speaking to the scenario some people are saying will happen. Not saying you’re saying it will haha. Sorry for the confusion.

14 x 0+0 games (-6)
13 x games 6+15=21, +7

Def started to find his footing, I think the whole San Diego team started out rough with new coach and new system.


I usually use Clarke as a measuring stick for zellweger
Clarke is 29 points (6goals) in 28 games and +1

So not too bad considering he is 7 months younger

Great job Zellweger!

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Where are all the Hutson fans that said zellweger was only good against juniors players, and that Hutson plays against college players so he’s better?

Well deserved all star nod, he’s been great in San Diego…. Unfortunately the team has been garbage

Busy carving Hutson's statue.

It's go time. Likely debuts in the show tonight.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Got his first point on power play(assist)

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

He was all over on the powerplay

 

[rubenflamshep]

You love to see it. Looks like he'd adjusted well to the AHL. Comparable point-paces included Sandin, Mike Green and OEL.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Post all star game

5 points in 2 games

This play was pure skill by him from 1st pass in dzone to the assist

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Called back up to NHL after lybushkin trade + fowler injury.

Update post all star game

8 games
11 points
4 goals

Should be a pretty good opportunity for him to earn a spot at nhl for rest of season

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

3 assist tonight, prob his best nhl game so far…. Was impressive all over the ice

It's a shame that he is going to play too many games and won't be eligible for the Calder next year.

But maybe he sits a single game and is?

Tonight's game was game 20 for Zell. If he's to be eligible for the Calder next year, then he needs to be sat for two games in the closing six games to the season.

He's really starting to look comfortable out there. I'm getting pretty excited about his potential, particularly offensively.

I have yet to see any indication that his size will be a hindrance. He plays more compact-strong rather than just noticeably small.

I didn't look up the actual rule but know it's 25 right?

Yap, you are not eligible if you have played more than 25 games. Hence, he has to sit only once to remain eligible.

 

[Kalv]

Impressive. I didn't expect him to look so promising tbh.

Just constant pace-pusher

I figured he could be from the way he plays, the question is how he'd handle NHL size and speed.

 

[Fantomas]

Will be better than Mintyukov.

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Will be better than Mintyukov.

How do Ducks fans feel about this? From my viewings it looks like Minty has a better all around game and OZ has a higher offensive ceiling. Would that be a fair statement?

Would you see Zellweger QB'ing the Power Play moving forward? It seems like Fowler has lost that opportunity off and on throughout the season.
