LW Will Cuylle - Windsor Spitfires, OHL (2020, 60th, NYR)

[bsu]

He helped Johnston quite a bit.

 

[Hinterland]

He helped Johnston quite a bit.

Did he ever. Especially physically and defensively but he proved he can play and score with elite talent as well. Likely will have more of a checking role but still a well deserved selection for Team Canada.

Should be bumped up from 4th line. I don’t see why he wouldn’t have the same success as McTavish has had with Bedard

I thought you weren't a fan of Othmann

That is true. But this is a Will Cuylle thread

I have no idea what kind of crack I was smoking when I wrote that comment

The skill to be able to take a pass that hard and then get up on net is insane. What a pass by Zellweger, that was an NHL pass,

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2 goals last season in 18 AHL games
Scores 1st goal of the season in game 1.

It wasn’t last season. It was the one before that, but he was playing 4th line that season and is a lot better now than he was then.

Ah, okay, my mistake.

Welcome to the big leagues!

 

[RangersFan1994]

He played pretty well in his 1st game. Drew a delay of game penalty with his forcheck.

hope Cuylle has a good home game tonight vs the Golden Knights.

Jake Leschyshyn 1st game against his old team tonight.

should be a good game for him too.

[Artorius Horus T]

Will Cuylle is a very good young player.
sucks that there is zero room role for the current Rangers rosters.

19 goals already in the AHL

 

[Artorius Horus T]

20 goals, 38 points with 53 penalty minutes.

Really like this kid. Hopefully he can find a spot next season but it sucks he's buried on the Rangers

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He'll be on the roster next year. It's probably good he got a full year in the AHL to marinate.

 

[Lavar Ball]

Hatty tonight

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Made the team after he was a standout in the preseason. Likely to start as 3LW.

 

[QJL]

First NHL goal tonight. Looks like a solid middle 6 player.

 

[LeProspector]

Still a little surprised he went so low in his draft year. His skill set always seemed projectable

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’s quietly had a very good rookie season. Point totals aren’t amazing, but he’ll probably never be more than a 40 point guy anyway and he’s been playing 3rd line with sporadic PP time.

What’s been extremely surprising is his defense. I don’t think I’ve seen him make one terrible defensive play all year, and I think I could say that every other player on the team has. He’s very responsible defensively. You feel comfortable that your team isn’t going to be scored on when he’s on the ice. He’s turning into a shutdown defensive winger that can score a little, and plays very physical.
