Vesey may be divisive but he should be signed. He’s obviously never lived up to his hype but he’s a solid player for what he is. He’ll be solid in the bottom six and as an extra forward who can step in and play up the lineup ***if necessary*** if there are injuries. If Blais gets hurt again which is very likely considering his history, I’d rather have Vesey stepping into his spot than Hunt.

We’ll have to see how married Gallant is to Carpenter. He stinks. There’s no way he should be on this team over some of the other players he’s fighting for a lineup spot with. Even Brodzinski is better than him and he’s a sure fire for Hartford.
why do good coaches always seem to love scrub forwards, AV with Glass, Gallant with Carpenter Hunt, Renney with Hollweg

they bust their hoops for the team every shift, typically can pk, do and say all the right things off ice. spend enough time around a group easy to see why sometimes youd rather the guy you know you can trust and know what they put into it over the more inconsistent and less dependable more talented guy, esp if they dont handle not getting things they want the right way.

obviously thats kinda generic and every situation is contextual based on deployment and who might be playing over who etc...but i totally get why coaches tend to have a guy or 2 that they see as valuable for what they bring in ways fans cant always see. also tend to be absolutely beloved in the room and glue guys...that can be a big part of giving teams that locker room magic trophy teams tend to come together around

What happened to him?
leg fell off i believe

Great but what did this result in?

This shit looks nice, but if it doesn't really amount to anything then who gives a f***?

(FWIW, he had good plays in this game that DID lead to things... should have probably posted those instead.)
I agree, didn’t see them on twitter though and thought this play went kinda under the radar
 
Vesey and Jones should be on this roster. Hunt, Hajek and Gauthier have had their shot and failed. Wouldn't hate Hajek being the 7th D. Hunt and Gauthier can get their shit together in Hartford. Role with a 22 man roster. Carpenter vs Rydahl is probably not a big deal, whatever. Othmann looked pretty good as well but Blais/Kravstov are c_blocking him.

It’s crazy to me that people think Vesey has been good.

He has been spoon fed opportunity mostly with NHL regulars.

He still forces dumb shot after dumb shot from the side of the net. Limited vision. Limited forecheck ability. Classic case of a guy who buzzes around a lot so people think he looks good yet rarely creates anything actually of value with the puck.
 
Gilbert line: Panarin - Trocheck - Vesey
Hadfield line: Laf - Chytil - Kakko
Ratelle line: Goodrow - Rydahl - Gauthier
Messier line: Kreider - Zibanejad - Blais

So long Hunt, Carpenter, Gauthier.
 
Only watched the first half of the first period - traveling a lot this week so I'm not able to watch.

But did Gauthier look even faster than previous seasons? Dude was flying in the 2-3 shifts I saw him. I know he can't finish.... but man... if he ever put it together someday :-/
 
Rydahl is never going to make this team over carpenter. Never
He should, but likely won’t

Might have been Rydahl wearing 15

Who sits if Othmann can handle third line minutes? Presumably Vesey or Rydahl?
