[northernlovesoldier]

This guy is a natural talent.

Deal starts next season so I am assuming he will sign a PTO and play remainder of season in Norfolk?

 

[Unholy]

2 goals and 8 assists in 14 games in his short time in the AHL as the Ads season ends. Also a +10.

Was a nice start for him.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Him and Theodore will be a treat to watch next year on the PP in the AHL.... Wow

 

[PernellsWhiteAmi]

Montour has 5 points in 7 games in the AHL. Any idea as to when he'll play for ANA?

who knows... major log jam of good young dmen in that organization

Of a particular sort, as well. If Montour were a strong defensive asset(as in, on the defensive side of the game), he might already be getting a look.

ya hes pretty much a pure offensive righty and Ducks really aren't in the need of that right now. He will put up huge numbers in AHL this year and who knows what'll happen next year... no real rush.. worst comes to worse he could be a real attractive trade asset by seasons end if he puts up huge numbers

May i add he had 10 points in 14 AHL games last year too but he has never been a ''big name'' so some Ducks fans learned from other teams fans that he is a crappy prospect worth nothing

But yeah what he could now give to Ducks we are already getting from Vatanen so Montour is staying in SD right now.

8 points in 10 games and the folks who follow the Gulls more frequently say he is in beast mode more often than not.

From the few things I've seen, skating is sensational as is his ability at the power play.

I can see him pushing for the big club next season.

Ya a lot of people that watch Gulls games leave saying he is the most exciting and one of the most skilled on the team. Really hope he continues having a strong season in the AHL.

People instantly notice him out there

From what I've read on him, it kinda sounds like it wouldn't be surprising if he got the #7-dman by the end of the season and possibly step in.

 

[AngelDuck]

It's his vision. He's a good skater but nothing amazing. His creativity and the way he sees the play open up from the point is what really sets him apart from other decent OFD prospects. He's going to be an offensive dynamo, hopefully the defensive side can catch up

 

[Gar Glow]

Any comparisons between him and theodore in terms of potential?

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Theodore is more like Fowler
Montour is more like Vatanen

[Gar Glow]

Thanks guys

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Theodore is more like Fowler
Montour is more like Vatanen

Hoping that Theo's offensive confidence translates a bit more than Fowler's but I absolutely agree on the comparisons.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Caught my first Gulls game last week and Montour was worth the price of admission. Such a fun player to watch.

 

[Vagrant]

Shocking to me that nobody really noticed this kid all the way through his development. It was considered a reach at 55th when the Ducks took him. Hell, I drafted him in the 4th round of my keeper and thought I had taken him too soon. There's going to be some serious buzz about this kid very soon. When he hits NHL ice, there will be no way to hide his progress anymore. He's beating every level they're throwing at him. 17 points in 25 AHL games to start his career. He's going to bully his way into Anaheim soon.

I don't know if that's the right word

 

[Vagrant]

I don't know if that's the right word

Haha, well I meant that he's going to push his way into the lineup by force of being so dominant in the AHL that they have to adjust in Anaheim either by trading someone or letting someone walk. It's just tough that they have so many OFD in Anaheim or else he might already be getting a sniff.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

2+1 thru 2 tonight for Montour

 

[alcolol]

2+1 thru 2 tonight for Montour

Make that 2+2. He's now the SD Gulls leading scorer with 12 points in 11 games.
