Minor League Thread 2017-18: Part VIII

[nyr2k2]

Gilmour with the goal. He really is heating up. 5+12=17 in 25 games now.

Was he written off too soon?

 

[Irishguy42]

Gilmour with a goal tonight. Has 1G 1A so far.

 

[Irishguy42]

First OT win on the season. Have yet to lose in regulation this month.

DeAngelo is the hero.

 

[NYR Viper]

Gilmour really proving to be a nice story down in the AHL. Those are some really nice offensive numbers.

That never happens here.

 

[Matz03]

the younger players are also stepping up and while playing lower in the lineup too, Fontaine, Gropp, Leedahl, DeAngelo

DeAngelo is 2 g, 6 a in last 8 games
Gropp has 6 g, 2a in his last 10 games, mainly cashing in on pp
Fontaine has 4 g in his last 10 games, mostly 4th line minutes
Leedahl has 1 g, 3 a in his first 8 games since called up, also mainly 4th line minutes

Caleb Herbert just signed to AHL tryout had the opening 1 g and 1 a on the 4th line, was tearing up echl, but he could be figuring it out to stay up there. The team needed another right shot RW in addition to Lettieri.

Holland was a great addition too

Seems to me that the people actually watching Gilmour play--the coaching staff--see significant improvement; I doubt McCambridge would say he's among the top 20 defensemen in the AHL just to flatter him.
Gilmour's a 7th round pick--he's still improving even at the ripe old age of 24. I don't see why he should be written off. Even if he just becomes a fill-in or a reliable call-up at the NHL level, this has been a good signing by the Rangers.

Was he drafted by another team? Why do I think we got him as a college UFA? I probably mistake him with someone else.

Calgary drafted but did not sign him.

Definitely, it is very problematic to write off a D due to the outcome of isolated defensive plays. It’s basically not the same sport playing for a coach like Gernander compared to a coach (and league) where you are allowed to move the puck. Playing defense is also to such a large extent a team effort. Last season for him was a mix of not getting any confidence since he wasn’t allowed to play to his strength, having issues defensively and playing for the worst team in the league.

Sure playing better defense is a challenge for Gilmour. Producing offensively is also not a given, the kid isn’t a great PPQB, like not as defined as say a Pionk or TDA. But he plays the game really really fast, that is his strength.

I’ve liked Gilmour from day one. I am not at all sold on that he will play in NY or if he makes it to the NHL, for us or someone else, that he will become more than an Hunwick type. But he shouldn’t be written off.

The Holland trade continues to pay off. Gorton really helped the Wolf Pack with this trade. Super savvy move.

Helped settle the roster and seemingly has sparked the offense.

[UnSandvich]

Tony with another A as well

 

[nyr2k2]

Pack up 4-3 now. Go Pack Go!

 

[nyr2k2]

Fontaine from Leedahl, SHG. 5-3.

 

[nyr2k2]

ENG was Lettieri from my boy Fogarty.

 

[GAGLine]

ENG was Lettieri from my boy Fogarty.

8 points in his last 8 games.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

What do our specialty units look like? Does anyone know?

Sorry I'm asking so many questions here, last year I watched a lot more of Hartford. I haven't gotten to watch a game yet this season, so I have little clue what's going down on the farm.

 

[UnSandvich]

What do they look like as in how are they doing? or as in who is on each unit?

You're going to jinx him!

Hopefully he's finally starting to figure it out. I still believe there's a capable NHLer in there somewhere.

Which players are on these units? Our prospects or the vets?

 

[nyr2k2]

6-0-1-2 in their last nine to crawl back into ninth in the East. They'll cool off and hit a rough spot eventually, but this team might push for a playoff spot and either way is miles ahead of last season. The kids are good, the vets are doing well and McCambridge seems to be doing well. Good stuff. And good start for Drury.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

ADA QBs the PP. I know Chytil was seeing some PP time before he left too

Same.

 

[Osminator]

Peter Holland and Marek Mazanec have stabilised this team, as well as permanently scratching Selleck (although he scored his first goal/point of the year vs. P Bruins last night)...

 

[E-Train]

Fontaine's really stepping it up. 0 pts in his first 14g, 2 pts in 24g. Now 5 pts in his last 4g.
