2023-24 San Diego Gulls/Tulsa Oilers

So are we sending both Suchanek and Alexander to Tulsa then?

He looked pretty good. Gage shows flashier saves and is a giant, but he's never gotten past his inconsistencies. I guess Suchanek is going to be vying against Buteyets to compete with Clang next year in the AHL.

So we'll see Zellweger, Hinds, and Gaucher before the Ducks open the season. Weird but it is what it is. Hopefully I can catch the stream

Don't forget the other new prospects going pro in Pastujov, King, and Weibe. iirc, Clang and Caulfield played some games with the Gulls at the end of the season.

It better be. I got myself some beers and chips. Albeit the game will be in the morning, but I can have them before I go to sleep


There's a lot of new shiny toys to look forward to. Not only the new prospects, but also the old ones as we have a new coach and systems. Which will be interesting to see too. Oh, and I think LA called up Clarke and Turcotte, not sure if the Reign got any enforcements from LA tho.

Also, we have actual fringe NHL d-men with the team this year in White, Hagg, and Harrington along with Trevor Carrick. The addition of vet d-man MDZ helped improve Helleson's game. With the trio and return of Trevor should stabilize the back end, help out our young d-men (Helleson, Hinds, and Zell), and provide better support in the Ozone.

Seeing how we don't have many dynamic forward prospects, our defense could be a boon for the Gulls.

True. That D really looks solid on paper for the AHL. As you said - good balance of vets and kids
I hope that McIlvane can kickstart Tracey and Perreault somehow. Getting them going will be crucial for any kind of Gulls success.

Tracey and Perreault have known chemistry to where they both were given a call up to the NHL by Verbeek at the end of the 2021-22 season. They were separate last year, probably to spread out the offense. The only Gulls pre-season game this season, they were separated again.

Missing F De Leo hurts because he's a great AHL offensive weapon, which the team missed last year due to injuries as well. Splitting up Agozzino and De Leo would spread out the offense. Although, we hopefully get to see Pastujov and Nesterenko in the top-6!

I was applying double meaning to the meme. That gif has Paul Walker in it and he died a decade ago. So they did one last job at least 5 more times and counting.

Thanks for pointing this out. Sunday's game is also free.

Harrington is the odd man out of the top 7 dmen. Wiebe and King are sitting, too.
