Prospect Info: Lukas Sutter - ELC, AHL only, or do they let him go?

[allan5oh]

It seems pretty obvious he won't get an ELC, I would say less than 1%. We have 2-3 guys already playing in the ECHL, you can't have too many players there on ELCs or you burn through contracts and they don't develop. What I'm wondering is will they give him an AHL only contract. I only see this happening if they see him as having more upside than Cormier.

My guess is Lukas goes the Zach Yuen route with TNSE.

Something happened between the draft and now with Sutter. I have heard he is very lazy off and on the ice and it shows. His draft year he was busting his ass off all over the ice and it showed with a pretty good year. Then he just fell of the earth. His uncle did a favor and tried to help him this year and from what I have seen and heard from other people he is super lazy on the ice.

It is a shame because if he worked hard at the game on and off the ice he can be a really effective player with a unique toolset. I can't see them wasting a ELC on him right now and the best thing would be to let him go and see if he can mature on his own.

Don't see the point in signing him myself.

Sayonara. I doubt he gets reselected in the draft. Perhaps he gets an AHL TO. Someone will invite him to prospect camp.

Yeah, that seems about right. And the right decision on the part of TNSE. It'd be nice if all our prospects got ELCs with the team, but Lukas hasn't performed to expectations to this point. TNSE needs to cut ties and hopefully that provides motivation for Sutter to step up.

Had a lucky % year. It happens.

Makes people look better than how they are since you only remember like 10% of events that happen on the ice.

Never thought he was 2nd round type but picks failing is the norm.

 

[Huffer]

Agreed that he likely does not get an ELC. Either an AHL contract, or the Jets move him to another team if that team thinks they can "fix" him sort of thing.

 

[JetsHomer]

I doubt he gets anything. He's not even going to be an AHL level player at this point.

I guess I should've made a poll, but no matter it seems everyone is pretty negative about this guy.

 

[cheswick]

How many contracts do the Jets have left now? 2? Sutter isn't getting one of them I don't think

 

[allan5oh]

They have a decent amount of room left. Remember players playing in the CHL don't count even if they have contracts.

Yeah I know. Maybe I'll do that.

edit: Won't let me. I guess the poll option has to be clicked originally.

I don't think Sutter will be signed.

I can add one, if you'd like.

Sure giver. Three choices:

- Sign to ELC
- Sign to AHL only contract
- Let him walk

Done!

This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all​

Not the fittest and didn't do, so he takes nothing.... bye bye

 

[JC Numminen]

I said sign to a AHL contract. I'm sure he's better than SOMEONE there. I hope to see him live next week. Could he sign with the ice caps and play in the ECHL or how does that work?

 

[pucka lucka]

But he's a SUTTER?! All that heart and compete (which is a verb btw).

I don't think we can move him. Unlikely anyone wants him this season and if he's not signed he goes back into the draft, does he not?

I think Sutter would probably go back to the draft rather than sign a PTO with the Ice Caps unless he feels like that is an opportunity to prove himself worthy of an ELC from the Jets.

 

[JetsFan815]

Chevy's first high profile bust. A shame really... there were several player drafted after him that would look good in the Jets org, McCabe, Bystrom, Frk... never thought Sutter had enough upside to be drafted in the second round. It's stupid to draft projected 3rd line grinders in the 2nd round

He could sign a PTO after he goes undrafted, but I am not sure he'd want to stick with the org that kicked him to the curb.
