AHL: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins: '24-'25 The Players Sully Hates

[Randy Butternubs]

Phew. Close game at the end. WBS wins. Jarry hopefully gaining confidence. Speaking of, how long can he stay in WBS on this assignment?

 

[Malkinstheman]

WBS wins 3-2

Jarry stops 32/34. Solid game by him

Mcg 0 pts in 4 games in the A. Sick.

He's attempting to emulate Harkins so Sully calls him back up.

Sounds like he wasn’t very good in the first two but has been pretty good in the last 2. Probably not ideal for his confidence especially with the weird AHL schedule where you gotta sit and think about your zero points for 6 days but oh well.

Sully and Dubas trying to ruin a top 30 prospect in record time.

I don’t know how letting a prospect play in the A can ruin them.

I think he’s just a complimentary winger and WBS doesn’t really have skilled enough centers for him to produce off of regularly. The good news is as Sid and Geno continue to age, neither will the big team.

That trade is going to haunt us for a long time, or at least for 3 more years until his ELC is up and he bounces on us too.

Yager fan boys are starting to drive me crazy.

How is it being a fan boy to question if a prospect swap was a good idea?

I just have not been impressed with much of Rutger’s tape. Regardless, we’ll all find out in 3-4 years.

 

[Jacob]

In like a month we’ll be like “remember that slow start he had? Feels like forever ago.”

 

[Malkinstheman]

Yeah having a slow start in your first couple pro games is a total non issue.

Pretty sure McG's confidence is just in the trash. They should've either sent him down as soon as pre-season was over, or kept him up and let him work through his growing pains on a McG-Eller-Puljujarvi or McG-Eller-DOC 3rd line.

I wouldn't say I'm torn up about it, but I also wouldn't say it's a non-issue. It's at least a little bit worrying. Also whenever McG gets back to the NHL level, he'll very likely be playing under a coach who has no desire to, y'know, actually coach and develop players.
