LW Jakob Pelletier (2019, 26th, CGY, traded to PHI)

[molotce]

4 game goal streak, 8 game point streak (16 points.)
19 points in 16 games,

80 points in 82 career AHL games. as an 20 and 21 year old.

But for some reason, i guess not good enough for Calgary Flames to be called up.
Still very confusing.

I dont know if its confusing. We can compare with say Reichel who’s doing roughly the same statistically (72pts in 71 games), but at 19-20, and most think its ok to be patient. Also because the team sucks so

Or Peterka, Quinn, Berggren, Macelli who are all producing in the NHL…

 

[BRobMint]

Hopefully him and Phillips get stints on the big club at some point this year

 

[Artorius Horus T]

10 game point streak (17 points)
6 game goal streak (6 goals)

But he is in the flames organization so he will probably never see any time with the big club lol

yup

its all about where you get drafted to

 

[madmike77]

What’s aggravating is the Flames need more skilled forecheckers - something Pelletier is good at. Meanwhile the Flames continue to roll out Lucic, Rooney, Ritchie and Lewis.

 

[Body Checker]

Kid deserves a shot this season.

 

[HighLifeMan]

yup

Generally I would agree with you but for whatever reason Pelletier was downright bad in the young stars tournament, and looked overwhelmed in training camp. It also took him a couple of weeks to get rolling in the AHL. Glad to see he's back to being his productive self'. He definitely deserves a good look at some point this year.

 

[Essenege]

Imagine playing Lucic in 2022 and not calling this guy up.

For real though what’s the deal? Your 1st pick from 3 years ago scores PPG in 80 games in the AHL, I mean usually he gets a tryout.

Daryl Sutter is a useless sack of crap. Absolutely ruining the hockey for me rn.

Plays the prospects with AHL caliber players and sets them up to fail, gets AHL results, don't deserve a shot. That and Zary's contract is why he was sent down too.

Backwards organization.

To be fair, Lucic has a NMC, so you can't just put him on waivers and send him to the AHL without his approval.

We had one open top 9 spot heading into the season for a prospect, and Ruzicka has taken it. So the options are call him up for 4th line minutes, or demote someone from our top 9 for him. Lots of Flames fans don’t see a problem with him playing 4th line, but 2 games ago they got around 10 minutes of ice time and last game it was closer to 6. I definitely can see how dominating the AHL may be better than playing 6-10 minutes a night in the NHL.

The other option is to demote a struggling top 9 player to the 4th line, which at this point is probably Dube, another youngish forward. This move logistically makes sense, but opens a can of worms especially if Pelletier doesn’t run with the opportunity.

Most likely situation is how most of the teams in the league operate midseason. Wait for an injury, call up the most deserving prospect, let him try and prove he shouldn’t be sent back down when the regular returns.

And Mange and try Pelletier and Phillips with Kadri in the middle. What the hell, they’re not winning anyways

Imagine winning 2 Stanley cups.... taking a non playoff team to a division championship the next season and winning coach of the year..... and some guy on a message board thinks he knows more than you.

So was Ruzicka. Sutter just hates players under 6 feet despite the fact about half the league is now under 6 foot tall

Ruzicka wasn't waiver eligible.

He's also not that good. I watched him in junior and he is the same player. Not very engaged. He reaped the benefits of Lindholm and Toffoli playing well.

Dube has been a hell of a lot better than Mangiapane. Especially lately.

Imagine using an appeal to authority on a message board.

With this logic, might as well shut down the board since all the coaches and GMs know more than the fans (which they generally do, but that does not prevent them from being criticized either).

Poor logic.

Most posters aren't like you. Most people do more than just whine.

Your entire post is just an ad hominem and using accolades to tell me why I shouldn’t criticize sutter. Your logic sucks ass.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

[KapG]

19 points in his last 11 games …. He’s pretty good
