I see 35ish this year, with 45ish assists, depending on health. Close to a ppg player, as he was last year on a wobbly ankle.

that makes no sense

it's saying he will do no better in year 3, with 2 good legs than he did in year 2 on a bum leg

I loved the game Foligno played last year. But I agree, he shouldn't ever be on the wing of a player like Eichel.

foligno and eichel makes as much sense as a zoo getting people drunk while walking in front of tigers

Certainly would help. who do you want on his wings?
- MCGUIZZY


That's a good question. I think it all depends on how things play out in camp to be honest.

There's a big part of me that really think Baptiste could be real good on the wing with Eichel. Kid has some serious wheels, a nice set of hands, and isn't afraid to go into the dirty areas. Just not 100% sure he's quite ready yet. He may start the season out in Rochester again.

Yea Baptiste is a boom or bust guy i think. Personally i would just load up his line with out best goal scorers and see what happens.

Something like

Kane-Eichel-Okposo

I have a gut feeling Baptise is a Roch guy. I really would love to see Nylander make the jump and just toss him up there with Jack. I like Nylander as a play making wing that can score too. in addition to Reinhart. I think that could compliment Jack well. But if not im loading up his line with goal scorers

there is a void in the top 6

I hope they give it to whoever wins it in camp, baptiste/nylander/bailey

I see bailey more as a 3rd liner if pouliot tanks it

solid Amerks signing Steve Moses out of the K.

I like having a dedicated GM for the Amerks. Maybe they'll actually compete this year. The whole team has been majorly bolstered. I don't know why this was so hard for TM to do.

There's nothing wrong with that, but as a whole, the clientele was a pretty refined bunch. For the most part.

Just so you know, which you probably do, that would put him at 2nd in points this last year only to McJesus. P Kane played 82, and had 89 points. I think Jack ECHL will get there, just isn't there yet. Send him to Cincy to prove himself.
