Player Discussion Will Cuylle

Tampa Bay's 3rd line in 2020 had a 5v5 GF:GA ratio of 2:7.

Their expected numbers weren't good either.

If there's a line on the team that you need to worry about, it's the Panarin line. They've gotten caved.

We’re complaining about the third line meanwhile Carolina’s entire game is what the third line is doing.

I'm completely okay with this third line being our main possession line. Cuylle/Wennberg/Kakko might not have the goals to keep HFBNYR happy but it's undeniable just how effective they've been along the boards and keeping the pressure up north.

I believe he can score 20 -25 goals and 40 points this session. He scored 13 goals with limited ice time and no special team ice time. He better get some PP2 and PK 3 time this season. He'd be an upgrade over soft fumbling Kakko. Let Kreider help him with puck deflections and where to go on the powerplay

He's not scoring 20-25 in a bottom 6 role with no special teams time.its a fantasy that just isn't realistic

Reread what i said. He should get special team time. I believe he will once Kakko flubs and gets hurt and ruins his chance like he usually does

Reread what I said-with a healthy Chytil back and possibly a youngster cracking the lineup,the chances of him seeing pp time are slim to none.Even if he does get pp2 time,they don't see enough ice time during powerplays anyway.Bulk of it rightfully goes to the 1st unit
 
If Cuylle is on the 3rd line with Chytil and Kakko, and everyone remains more or less healthy, I think he has a decent chance to hit 20 goals. Laf, Chytil and Kakko combined for 56 goals 2 years ago getting similar ice time/opportunities.

I think you're either underestimating chytil and kakko or overestimating cuylle.

I think he can hit 20, but he's not really the primary creator that often. He wont drive offense on that line.

Neither actually. I'm just suggesting that as a line, they can have success if they are all healthy, and that success could result in Cuylle getting 20 goals.

Chytil is the key component of that line. 2 years ago, he had 22 goals playing with Laf and Kakko. Laf had 16 goals that year and Kakko had 18, so 20 isn't a crazy number.

If Chytil can't stay healthy, and we're left with Carrick/Brodzinski, I like that line a lot less.

I think we're talking past each other.

Im trying to point out that laf being replaced doesn't immediately equal the same production, and expecting that seems kinda insane.

You may be right about that, but I'd counter that Laf from 2 years ago isn't the same as Laf from last year. He wasn't driving the line then. His production was very much dependent on Chytil, just as Cuylle's production would be next season.

Disagree all you want, but it isn't crazy to suggest that a player who scored 13 goals as a rookie has a chance to score 20 as a sophomore while playing with better players.

Yeah. I agree it’s not crazy out of line to think Cuylle COULD net 20. But pencilng it in is getting ahead of ourselves.
 
Does Cuylle have potential to hit 50 points this season? Asking for fantasy purposes. Good stat line so far!

As awesome as that sounds, it's a really big stretch. There's definitely some additional upside considering how young he is and as long as Chytil is centering that line, they will be able to generate offense.

That being said, he's on the 3rd line with minimal PP time. Kakko is a big ? in terms of offense and as much as like Chytil, his ability to stay healthy is his biggest weakness.

If Chytil stays healthy, there's a tiny chance but the stars would really need to align.

TLDR: Doughtful Cuylle hits 50 pts. 40 would be sweet.

Once again, I'll refer back to the stats from the Laf-Chytil-Kakko line from 2 years ago:

39-45-40

The Cuylle-Chytil-Kakko line has performed well thus far, but 50 points is a big number playing 3rd line minutes with very little PP time.

Chytil is the key. As long as he is healthy, that line should be productive.

Cuylle played a total of 17:27 on the PP last year and scored 2 points. So far this year, he has 0 seconds on the PP, so he's not trending well in that area. He'll probably only get time if there is an injury to one of the regulars, but I don't expect him to get a significant amount. Maybe he scores 2 points again.

I doubt he'll reach 50, but 40 is possible. He has started off well. We can revisit this in a month and see where he's at.

Love Cuylle. Perfect middle 6 player. Sturdy and unafraid. I think he is developing into our Sam Bennett/Tom Wilson.
