Im excited for Cuylle to continue his development as a big member of the Wolf Pack next year. Let him play a full season down there and I will predict now that he will arrive late next season and play a role as a 4th liner in the playoffs. His size physicality and leadership skills seem perfect for playoff hockey.

I don't think so, but who knows. Maybe he's the next Dubinsky, or maybe he's just the first Will Cuylle.

Yeah. Kind of a Dubinsky, but bigger and a HW with the gloves off. And possibly higher goal scoring upside if he plays up the lineup.

Windsor was down 3-1 halfway through the 3rd, but came back to tie it and won in overtime. That's Hamilton's 1st loss of the playoffs, and at home too.
Cuylle had 2 goals on 6 shots. He was a +1, 7 of 12 on faceoffs, and 2nd star of the game.
Seattle beat Edmonton 2-1 despite being outshot 44-22. Rempe had 1 goal on 2 shots, was +1, and won 11 of 17 faceoffs.

Cuylle is big and physically aggressive and he will fight but I don't see him as a future heavyweight. I mean really he averages about 3 fights a year. What I see is a future North South winger who's highest NHL upside is 2nd line wing but more realistically is a bottom 6 wing. With the Rangers a great role model for him to follow would be Barclay Goodrow. I mean going forward there isn't really an opening in the Rangers top 6 for wings anyway if you're thinking that Lafreniere and Kakko are going to take two spots and Kreider and Panarin are going to be around a while longer. Then there's Othmann and what happens with Kravtsov.

By ”a HW with the gloves off” I didn’t mean his primary job would be enforcer, there’s not even that much fighting anymore, Reaves only had 3. But when the gloves do come off he’s no joke. I agree with your assessment of his upside, basically a middle sixer, physical character guy with some skill, probably third line but if injuries move him up the lineup he will be able to bury the chances that might come with better linemates. Better than Goodrow in some ways, fighting and shot, maybe not as good a 200 foot player. Next year will tell us a lot.

He has at least 2 attempts in every game, but over the last 4 he has averaged about 11. It's probably similar to when Kreider takes faceoffs.
If we were looking at goalie prospects would it be fair to say he's top 5 since Hank?
1) Igor/Hank
2) Igor/Hank
3) Blackburn
4) Montoya
5) Garand
He legit sounds like a guy that if we didn't have Igor we'd let Allaire get his hands on him and turn him into a stud #1. Probably not as good as Hank/Igor but still good.

We really need to see him in the AHL. Both Huska and Wall looked good in college, with the former doing well in the WJC, and both have been inconsistent at best in the AHL.

Only reason I'd say no is because he uses his size. Gropp didn't do that. Just fed off Barzal. Same thing that was Grachev. He fed off being on the same line as Duchene and Hodgson.
If Cuylle isn't an offensive player, he can transition and be a checking player. The others just did not have that ability.

Cuylle put up really good numbers in the OHL but I'm cautious about expecting stats like that to move with a player at least into their first years as a pro whether the AHL or NHL. The Rangers with their wing depth do not need him for the near future in their top 6 and maybe not in the top 9. If he makes it to the Rangers in the next couple years he'll be breaking in most likely on the 4th line and probably that's where he'll be. He should develop other elements of his game meantime that would improve his chances of breaking in on the 4th line.

Might Kamloops hosting Memorial Cup impact where Garand plays next year in any way?

There's no slide-eligibility so that doesn't matter at least. Garand spending another year in Kamloops is technically possible if there's a logjam. It depends on what they do with Kinkaid and Húska.

Yeah. That’s reasonable. I’m not expecting him to really hit his stride for three or four years. Maybe a cup of coffee this year.

I think for Cuylle, for him to become a regular NHLer it's going to come down to motor and understanding the finer points of the pro game. He's got the frame and decent enough wheels to play a bottom 6 role. But what he needs is to never stop moving his feet. You want him to develop into a Goody or Motte -- but getting to that level is easier said than done. You see a guy like Nick Paul in this TB series and you can see how effective he can be, but I think Motte and Goody are a bit stronger in their own end. In Goody's case it's his IQ. In Motte's case it's his motor and tenacity. The transition from top 6 in juniors to bottom 6 pro is a very big one. And could take significant time. But Cuylle def has a lot in his game that makes you think he can get there.

Windsor lost yesterday 5-4. They were down 5-2 going into the 3rd, but couldn't get the tying goal. The series is now 1-1. Cuylle had an assist and only 1 shot on goal. He was even on the day and won 6 of 9 faceoffs. He had penalties for holding and roughing, and Hamilton scored on the PP from the 2nd one, giving Hamilton a 4-1 lead at the time.
Seattle also lost 5-4, leaving them tied 1-1 with Edmonton. Rempe had 1 goal and 1 assist on 2 shots. No PIMs, and he finished the game even, while winning 12 of 20 faceoffs.
Windsor plays game 3 tonight, while Seattle plays tomorrow.

Cuylle with 2 assists so far in his game, halfway through. Also 5/5 on the draw after going 6/9 last game and 7/12 in game 1.
In the 2.5 games he has 2 goals, 3 assists so far in the OHL finals.
They are currently up 4-2 tonight.
