Thanks for this.
Some questions:
1) Noticed McKegg at centre in the other post. Are they playing him in the top 6 as a C? If promoted (obv not happening this year) will he play at centre or on the wing?
2) Ashton in the bottom 6 in the other post... that common? I know his NHL role is bottom 6, but does he play top 6 on the Marlies?
3) Blacker had a pretty lackluster year... Will he be still be getting top 2 D minutes with Holzer? What can we expect from Percy or Granberg as far as D minutes go?
4) Biggs, D'Amigo, Ryan... Any thoughts on whether they play primarily top or bottom 6 next year?
5) Abbott is a pretty small and shifty skill guy from what I gather. Does that mean he's a top 6 or bust prospect? Seems tough to trust him in a checking/grinding role on the big team.
Thanks for the answers... Pretty hard to get trustworthy prospect info that isn't your typical rehashed tripe!
1. he played centre at the end of the season. some people see him as a centre in NHL. while others think he will be a winger.
2. ashton plays on the top 6 in the AHL. And IMO, he still has potential to be a second liner. he had a good year except for the injury.
3. Are you just looking at numbers? blacker was one of the best defencemen on the team this year. watch the games please. he is a dark horse to make the team next year.
4. ryan will play in the bottom 6 most likely. d'amigo is interesting, he can play both, he has some offense in his game. I want him on top 6. biggs will probably on bottom 6, than slowly move up.
5. he is a decent prospect. he could be a call up next year.
