RD Brandon Montour (2012 undrafted; 2014, 55th, ANA)

[McMozesmadness]

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

I'm not trying to diminish his accomplishments but... Scrivens was in net.

Kidding aside, I am so damn envious of the Ducks. Another gem.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

He is electric.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Wow, this kid won't stop scoring. He's a dman too. Very impressive, has scored at almost a ppg at every level hockey they throw at him. Boom or bust pick, hes definitely booming currently, but we will see how he does in the show.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

my preseason prediction for him leading into the season was him finishing the year at a point per game. I know it seems a little far fetched but he isn't letting me down so far!!!

I know that's not a very easy thing to accomplish but it was a bold prediction!

just so damn good offensively and is always one of the most exciting players to watch every game.

also he has the 2nd best +- on the team

 

[KaseMeOutside]

he still needs time to marinate but it will be interesting this summer perhaps vatanen is traded and montour/theodore compete for that spot

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

He leads AHL dmen in Pts and all Ahl rookies in points

holy moly

ya if he keeps up this play itll either make vatanen expendable for next season OR he will be utilized as a major piece at deadline if Ducks are in a position for a push.

Gonna be interested to see what happens. I hope he gets a couple games in NHL this year to see how he does

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Ya its crazy...

7th highest point total in AHL
1st highest point total in AHL Dmen
1st highest point total in AHL rookie skaters
2nd best +- total on his Gulls team

Ducks hit another dman homerun here so far. Broken record after every game that all fans (from Gulls and fans from other teams) say he is most exciting player on the ice

I saw this coming from a mile away. Such a stud everywhere he goes.

ya I think everyone got extremely excited last year and had extremely high hopes for him this season when he took the NCAA by storm and put up 20 points in 21 games part way through the season and then ended the 2014 season in the AHL with 10 points in 14 games

I know heading into this season, he was one of the guys I was very intrigued to see how he does... and so far he has exceeded my expectations(and I had real high hopes for him)

Yeah i have been hyped up about him ever since i learned that up to the draft he wasn`t even focusing 100% on hockey yet, as he was playing a lot of lacrosse too. Apparently he is a hard worker in training sessions too so i just imagined what he will do when he goes full focus on hockey and well here he is, not dissapointing.

Another 2 points tonight. 14P in 12GP

 

[Our Lady Peace]

This guy appears to be quite the diamond in the rough. His vision is off the charts. I've only seen highlight videos of him so I can only really comment on his (damn good) offensive abilities. I'd like to know if any Gulls fans can assess Montour's defensive play.

 

[Gliff]

The last defensemen, rookie or not, to finish the season in the AHL over a PPG: Justin Schultz.

And that was on a loaded team with Eberle coming off a PPG season in the NHL and Hall a 27 goal season in the NHL.

How dare your speak that name in these here boards

So you're telling me Montour is a future Norris winner, huh?

Good thing Montour is competent defensively

I hope the Ducks call him up so he can stop stomping on the Barracuda.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

hes kinda like the AHL version of John Klingberg right now haha

both over a point a game
both top 10 league scorers
both leading their leagues in dmen scoring

and last but not least...both exciting as hell to watch

 

[jeffl97]

Tied for 4th in scoring. 17 points in 15 games.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Not sure it means much but with Ritchie's promotion, Montour atleast visually looks like San Diego's best player.

 

[42]

If he keeps this up, he might just get a call-up this year.

 

[WhatWhat]

Dude is putting up numbers like Klingberg did. Hopefully for the Ducks he transitions to the show as well as Klingberg
