Player Discussion Peyton Krebs C/LW -- Re-signed 2 years, $1.45m AAV

[Fjordy]

Yes, that actually might be the bigger hole on the future roster. It still feels like Olofsson is someone they should sign to a longterm deal, especially for how much development time was put into him, and his unique skillset.

My theory is always draft the guys that can play Center though, as it's much easier to transition to the wing than it is to go the other way.

I don't always agree that all centers can easily play winger. A guy like Krebs should play in the center, not a winger, Mitts probably too, I think not all centers need to play a winger. Also, for example, if I see a potential winger with 80+ points in the draft, and I can also take center, but potentially he will only be a good 2C at 55-60 points. In such a situation, I take winger.

What Peca should REALLY be teaching him is how to do this:

Peca was so damn good at doing that. Damn I miss watching that dude play. Peak Peca would just annihilate people.

If Krebs has to backcheck like that on the PP....

How has he looked in Rochester so far?

Between Peca's huge hits and Dom's ridiculous saves that was one really exciting team to watch

 

[dortt]

Maybe he shouldn't learn hitting from Peca

He'd be suspended more than Tom Wilson

Krebs from Quinn and Peterka. Hopefully we hear that combination a lot more moving forward.

 

[old kummelweck]

Great shot.

I love that the Amerks tweeted a clip of him practicing this shot with Peca.

Four apples tonight. Woooooo!

 

[Gabrielor]

He played well today. 5v5 still a work in progress.

does that make him ppg? Asking to determine if he is good or bad

Don’t be silly, ppg is a horrible way to analyze a prospect. +/- is a much more effective way!

 

[Jim Bob]

In Rochester, no. He has 7 pts in 9 games for the Amerks.

In the AHL this season, yes. He has 12 pts in 11 games when you add in the 5 pts in 2 games he had with Henderson prior to the trade.

 

[Jim Bob]

There was an adjustment period but he has settled in nicely.

“You have to remember it was a big move,” Appert said. “You’re traded from a franchise that’s on the west coast and you don’ t know the guys and how we want to play and all those things.

“I think his game in Utica Saturday was elite and he probably should have walked away with three or four points. Maybe because of goaltending or missing some opportunities, he doesn’t get any.”

How good was he against the Comets on Nov. 20?

Appert said he was part of 10 scoring chances five-on-five. And yet, his point total never changed.

“He and I watched video today and the message was, keep playing the right way and the points will come,” Appert said. “You worry sometimes with young offensive players because they stop playing the right way when points don’t come, and then their game suffers.”

 

[Dirty Dog]

In Rochester, no. He has 7 pts in 9 games for the Amerks.

In the AHL this season, yes. He has 12 pts in 11 games when you add in the 5 pts in 2 games he had with Henderson prior to the trade.

so yes, phew!!!

 

[Chainshot]

The scorer did update things and Krebs winds up with three assists last night, leaving him with 11 points in 11 games for the entire season, Vegas org. time included.

I gotta say it really does seem like Adams is bringing in the right people to build a team with. Krebs seems like a total beauty! Had my laughing when he said last song he was listening to was mistletoe from justin bieber's christmas album with his little chuckle afterwords.
