Good game. Wanna see him string a couple of solid performances together across the next few weeks.

His pace has really impressed me. He’s 100% go. Always attacking. Perfect player to embody the “culture change” that was desperately needed
Has to have great conditioning.

What a steal getting him for Lias Andersson, who was waived by the cellar dwelling Montreal Canadiens. They at least salvaged an NHL player out of it. Here's hoping he becomes a Brandon Prust or Matt Barnaby type player for us. I think it is within his grasp.

This is a bad hockey team.
I think that he has more offensive potential than either of those players.

I have nothing but good things to say after last night's game. Very strong showing from him. He was noticeable.

When he didn't have the puck he was banging his stick on the ice begging for it.
That's confidence.
He has a fantastic shot & doesn't mind using it.
Not to mention his compete level, tenacity & physicality (did I just mention those?)
There's a lot of guys on this team that could learn a thing or two from him.
I think he has 20+20 potential personally. What a win that would be.

Can’t explain it - but I think he has JT Miller written all over him (just hopefully not the same out-of-NY career success)…

I honestly don't ever remember JT Miller ripping such a sexy shot like that for us. Beauty goal.

He impresses me more and more every time I watch him. He plays like he has been in the league for years. Looks like he can be trusted in all situations too. Would like to see him get some penalty killing time.

He is a breath of fresh air for this club . Now we are just vanilla ripple instead of straight vanilla .

He was just such a forgettable ranger to me I guess.
Cuylle has made an impression from the jump here so far. Honestly think he looked best with Kak.

I liked JT. I thought he had really good offensive skill and showed some grit. I liked when he played on a line with Zooks. Pretty much a lock for 20 plus goals and 50 plus points even as a young guy. His issues were he would make some bonehead plays, defensively, and consistency. Thought he found some confidence when he started killing penalties. Problem was Hayes would sometimes be looking for breakaways when killing penalties instead of concentrating 100% on defense.

That would be selling him short IMO.
I'm hoping for Alex Killorn potenial from him.

watching last nights game I think if you look across to the other teams bench, a good comparable would be someone like Boone Jenner. Maybe someone like Marcus Folgino as well.

Cuylle is an example of why you can't always stat watch players and prospects. The kid has an it factor to him, a swagger, a determination, and a desire. He is the kind of player that becomes infectious to a team of they rally around him instead of just looking at him and passively appreciating him. He and his style will have possibly the second biggest impact of new pieces on the team behind lavy

I've been very impressed. He fits right in, his movement patterns are natural. He's a bit of a specimen to begin with but he also plays hockey well and is skilled.

the points aren't there yet but to me he's exactly what we want to see from the kids. noticeable all the time. driving play. being physical and rough. shooting the puck, etc.

Reminds me of a young Adam Graves. I am not saying he will score 50 goals like Graves or even develop into what Graves was, he just gives me very Graves like vibes.
