Moose Season Discussion

[voyageur]

Should be noted that Toninato currently leads the Moose with 5 goals. Second is career AHL/ECHLer Tyson Empey with 4, then a slough of players with 3.

If the Jets continue to struggle to score, especially the 2nd line, which they have, I'd slide Lambert in over Names. His speed with Ehlers might be interesting.

Lambert's already struggling to score at the AHL level, not sure he'd fare much better on the Jets.

He was sick for a few games. He plays with pugs down there. Sometimes with better players, skilled guys shine.

The Moose have just not been very good this year.

Geez 7-1...at home. That's terrible. I don't know..playing that bad, you have to think it's a combination of a terrible roster and bad coaching. If this keeps up, they should fire the coach.

I’ve said it before many times but Hershey does it the best. They bring in the right career AHL guys to develop their prospects. With the group we have this year there’s no reason why the Jets shouldn’t have invested on a top tier AHL vet or two. We don’t even dress the max for vets either. This is no disrespect to the Toninato’s/Shaw’s/Jonsson-Fjallby/Sautner’s.

I agree. We needed some better support for our kids.

Moose have followed that template in past seasons having good veteran players to surround prospects- Cormier, De Salvo, Logan Shaw, Seth Griffith, Capobianco types. I think they were going for the same thing this season but their veteren depth has been more "role player" types. On D esp there's not much depth there, my guess is that Fluery and Coghlan were signed with those Moose roles in mind but injuries have hampered that.

I think you are seeing a team with very limited prospects. You have 3 good ones but there is zero chemistry with Lambert and Chibrikov so you have to split them up. Lucius is down, Zhilkin is down, on defense Lundmark is injured and that's your second tier of prospects.

I think this year is the end of the road for Bauer, Torgersson and Nikkanen with the org and you'll get a fresh batch of CHL prospects next year and the year following to work with. If Freij arrives when Salomonsson departs might still be looking for some defensive prospects to build with.

I think Coghlan was the only one who was going to get sent down and he might have helped Anhorn start his career. Any more vets would put the Moose over the limit. But end of the day there are 7 AHL contracts on last night's roster and that's because the Jets are putting so few picks into the system year in year out. Imagine how bad it would be if Copp hadn't been traded in a non playoff year.

Seeing a guy like JAD who had such a promising camp now at 0s, -8 in 6 games, there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the Moose.
Maybe the good news is if they suck this year Jets can promote a couple of black aces, prospects for the playoffs.
