No. 10 (8) RW Tyler Tullio, Bakersfield Condors (AHL)
Tyler Tullio is part of a fairly long list of wingers who brought skill to Bakersfield over the last two seasons. All of them have struggled to build on early results, and all of them are in some form of peril as prospects because of it.

In the case of Tullio, he didn’t lose offence year over year, so there is some hope he’ll spike in this area next season.

As a rookie in 2022-23, he scored 10-11-21 at even strength in 63 games (0.33 points per game). In his second season, Tullio scored 9-10-19 in 54 games (0.35 points per game).

A small increase, but miles better than (Xavier) Bourgault.

He is also an effective two-way winger, giving some hope he can build on his first two seasons and find his way up the depth chart.

Tullio has less pure skill than Bourgault and (Matvey) Petrov but is a more complete player in terms of checking and grit. That may bode well for him in the season to come.

The same writer wrote this about Tullio back in March:

Tyler Tullio
The young two-way winger is in his second year of pro hockey. His resume includes a range of skills, but his offence isn’t enough for him to receive heavy power-play minutes. Most of his offence comes from even-strength play, and he’s productive.

A year ago, he ranked sixth on the Condors with 10 even-strength goals, a solid number for a rookie. This year, Tullio has seven goals in the game state and trails only three veterans (Raphael Lavoie, Drake Caggiula and Ben Gleason) in the category.

What’s more, his scoring and outscoring have improved in the second half.

Tullio is a player who receives little attention. The beginning of his pro career saw him passed over routinely for a spot in the lineup. The build, though slow, has been impressive. In his most recent games, his on-ice goal share at even strength has been exceptional, and his four even-strength goals in 11 games stand out on a team that is shy in offensive difference-makers outside the power play.

Tullio doesn’t have gaudy scoring numbers, but he’s consistent and reliable, plus he’s 21.

Some old press on him:

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2419898/2021/03/05/edmonton-oilers-prospect-tullio-path/?source=user_shared_article

Feisty is a word I have seen pop up around him. Seems like he could be a future depth role candidate due to his compete and work rate.

Yeah, he is somebody who is in keeping with a bunch of the rest of their moves. Is somebody who will make opponents chew through his stick in a proverbial sense.

Haven't seen that name in a while! Where does he stand on the offseason so far?

 

[Chainshot]

He was banned for a reason if somebody wants to go, read his stuff go over to X.

Last time - if you want to talk to him, do it somewhere he is. He's not here. Talking about banned posters is not allowed. We clear?
