Player Discussion John Gilmour

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I don't think ADA has been good, but he has shown flashes of elite puck-moving talent and I think he should play every game for the rest of the season to try to settle in and prove himself.

The only reason Kampfer should be playing now is if they somehow think they're showcasing him for a trade. Outside of that, ****ing give Gilmour a chance!

EDIT - not saying that you think Kampfer should play either; just that AV shouldn't be playing him over younger guys right now.

Gilmore is worse defensively than Ada. Gilmore just has elite speed(he won AHL fastest skater)

 

[JohnC]

Who did this?!?

Beacon I believe. He and user Pavel Buchnevich must’ve had a friendly “most laughable Ryan Graves take” competition going.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Graves is one of the most overrated prospects I've ever seen. Mostly because our team does not have a good prospect pool.

Mostly because of his last name********

I agree. Doesn't mean I don't want to see him play. Graves over Kampfer would be nice too.

Ouch

 

[Beacon]

Does Graves have any sort of nastiness to his game Beacon ?

No. Occasional use of his blog body for positional use on dedense, but you don't see him land big hits.

Hey, not all bloggers are fatties!

Thanks Beacon...about the same as when he played Junior here on PEI a few years ago.

Gunna assume ADA doesn’t make the cut for the you can play videos

Gilmour didn't stand out as much as Pionk but he and Pionk played very well. I was surprised AV put them together but totally the right call there

 

[NYR Viper]

What a first couple of games for Gilmour. He is definitely a bit of a gambler but his skating is sublime. He is constantly roving and joining the rush. His ability to lug the puck and beat a forecheck is a huge plus for the team overall. He has some mistakes here and there but that's part of learning at this level. I like how AV has used him up to this point (I didn't think I would be saying that)

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I thought he was terrific against Winnipeg.

Looks like a potential bottom pair option for the long term.

 

[Gravey22]

both games this guy looked good. His skating is very smooth and will not share the player who his skating reminds. Would be a joke and scoffed.
he was moving out there in ways that make a difference sometimes big differences. His partner Pionk was very good too not as smooth skating but very good with a well above average shot.

Why?

His skating is literally the one part of his game that is high end lol.

 

[Ori]

yeah, he is one of the best skaters for sure.

 

[Inferno]

I think he's been.....fine.... Pionks been a lot better imho.

Nice having a solid bottom pair come up from the AHL

It sucks for Hartford though. They are 9-0-1-0 in their last 10 and tomorrow is a big game vs Charlotte.

I'm a little frustrated that last week, I was looking forward to seeing 4 prospects that now I won't get to see tomorrow.

Oh well, still got Chytil and Andersson to focus on!

Two main points of focus anyway.

Pack will need Georgie to continue standing on his head with the depletion of the defense.

Will be hard to do, as Georgiev is in Minnesota currently..

Tough when he's with the rangers no?

 

[Edge]

Still too inconsistent. Not as much as before, but goes from a great 1D in the AHL to an average 4D the next period.

It's real shame to watch him kind of plateau this season because this would've been an ideal time for him to take that next step.

But I agree, there are still a lot of times he doesn't look like a guy on the cusp of a breakthrough.
