There is the face puncher I was looking for. Or at least punch facer.

Big organizational shift. Amerks have not employed a tough guy for years.
Now they get two big bodies in Dunne (6'4", 209) and Ty. C. (6'3", 218).
I'm surprised they didn't go this route sooner. They have had a young skilled team for years and have been pushed around.
As one of my chemistry teachers used to say: repetition teaches the donkey.

They also have Brett Murray as well. And tischke I believe is willing if need be (although he won’t play too much)
They can play tough, that’s for sure

I just wonder why it took this donkey so long to learn. Did it take a ruff kick in it's ass?
And who kept wanting to go skill with no protection for those players? Appert? Karmonos? Adams? Pegula? It seemed like it was through the whole organization.

Yes to Tischke. Murray provides size but not a lot of toughness. Maybe he will be a little more confident knowing he has backup this season.
Murray has been one of the few guys who will go so it is all relative.

Shoulda got one game in
Yea it’s not really Murray’s game, but he has thrown down. Although I’m sure hockey upbringing is a slight reason for that, seeing as far as I know US hockey follows international rules while Canadian hockey doesn’t.
So when you get to the ECHL+ level, it changes, especially if you’ve never been punched in the face or punched faces before.
Chevy is 6'3" 225, that's a big boy. If he makes the team it will be as a tough guy.
There's a guy who played for the Marlies last season, Zach Solow. Over 100 PIMs last season, AHL contract. Unsigned at the moment. Most importantly he is a right shot.

Ty Cheveldayoff:
- attended Vegas development camp and NHL training camp for Vegas in 2023
- attended Boston development camp this summer
- ECHL Maine announced they signed him a day before Amerks announced they signed him to an AHL deal.
(Does Maine still hold his EHCL rights then? )

In terms of AHLer? He's physical, mines the boards for pucks, gives/takes a hit, blocks shots - the classic "plays the right way" coach's commentary guy.
