Prospect Info: Ethan Del Mastro, LD

I gathered that.

Got ya. My guess is they would prefer him on his strong side

Nobody can pair with $9.5 and remain positive in the +/- because $9.5 zimply should not beca dman..He has no instinct for defending properly..He should bexa forward...not that he can shoot and score but because his brstcattribute is if he is given carter Blanche to carry pucks into tjevo-zobe WITH POWER not finesse,and then to create havoc(if given the chance) by clearing paths causing the dmen to aggregate to him forcing them to leave position and abandon stricture whichOORNS SOACE for other Hawks forwatds..$9.5 if pkayong as a dman will drag d-partners down from their best game to his horrible level...We do not want that whoch is why NO WAY do I want EdM anywhere near S.Jones ..

S Jones should be moved up front to be a path clearr to enable our more skilked forwards to get less congested space to operate in when in thebo-zone..$9.5 Is Big..Strong going in one direction on attack and should not try going around any checkers but instead going through them such thatvif they clog him up they are "occupird" with him leaving space for other s to operate more freely in..In other words he shoukd be a Power Forward Bowling Ball causing the degendingbpins to drop and create havoc vs. Defensivecstructure...He should be an enabler on attack that way ..not seen asxa capable defensive shutdown dman nor an impact force on offense ...because he is Neither those things .

In any case ,keep EdM nowhere near him lest youbruinanother dman who partners with hom.

Vlasic at first looked like he could be consistently effective in covering g up for $9.5...but as 2nd half wore on,it is obvious Jones and his defending issues have dragged Vlasic back down ...from a high near +10 to now -10 level ...you just cannot stay good for long playing with $9.5 ...inevitable downfall for any d-partner playing long enough with $9.5.

So ...kep Del Mastro away from Jones.

His numbers are impressive, especially for a guy who is considered more of a SAH type. More than twice the amount of points of Allan, while only playing one more game. Better PPG than Phillips, who is a lot more experienced, and Kaiser, who is more experienced and is generally considered more of a 2-way D. Also 2nd best plus/minus on the team after Guttman.

His stock continues to rise. Hawks are gonna end up with him, Vlasic, and KK as our left side D of the future and I'm all for it.

EDM is growing into a true 2 way #1 Dman.

The way Allan and Del Mastro play off each other is very effective . Possible D partner's in Nhl eventually ?

Might be. My guess is they’ll try to pair either with a veteran at least to start

 

[ColbyChaos]

Do you still feel this way? Is he better than Ian Mitchell yet?

We all know he’d still rather have Peter Reynolds, Ethan Keppen, or whatever obscure niche prospect he overrated back then that is probably a pizza maker at Casey’s now
