Player Discussion Will Cuylle

[ReddestRum]

the points aren't there yet but to me he's exactly what we want to see from the kids. noticeable all the time. driving play. being physical and rough. shooting the puck, etc.

How is he supposed to get points being on the same line as no-luck Trocheck and no-wheels Wheeler?

 

[tlk]

He good.

Seriously, Tro needs to wear some red peppers off his chain.

 

[tlk]

no-luck Trocheck

he's simply more of a defensive-minded C than either of Zib or Fil

Though I admit it does seem he's been hit with a bout of Stromecheck this season.

It's a cornicello

Id love to see Kakko and Cuylle switch spots in the lineup

 

[bbny]

Cuylle has more puck skills than I thought. He hasn’t been afraid to try pretty good moves rushing down the wing. I’m really high on him.

 

[huerter]

plays for keeps

 

[AirGut]

he would've been a more worthy #7 than Lias Andersson that's for sure

 

[Rongomania]

Tough & confident kid. Really love his game for a rookie. If he keeps progressing, he's going to be a really fantastic and valuable player. And the type we chase and chase and chase in FA / Overpaid trades. Winner so far.

 

[Riche16]

Was a question mark until he destroyed camp & pre-season...

Grabbed a spot, stuck & is now one of the best guys on the team IMO.

Strong, fast, fearless, smart, confident & dangerous.

Love this kid

 

[Crease]

I like the Dubinsky comp.

 

[McRanger92]

We knew he was physical with a heavy shot, but he is putting huge defenseman like Seider and Maatta on their wallets with these hits. He's a little reckless too (which I like!).

The most striking thing to me is his ability and willingness to handle the puck and cut to the middle. Really exciting player, and I can't wait for Othmann to join him.

 

[Black Tank]

I like the Dubinsky comp.

Dubinsky was a great Ranger, I loved him as a fan and he provided some really memorable Ranger moments. I'd be ecstatic if Cuylle gets there and hopefully exceeds what Dubi did.

It makes Lias A a damn good pick right now.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The goal was obviously great but this was the first time I've seen him really physically exert his will at this level.

He's been forcing D men into bad passes all season, but he was trucking fools tonight. Smoked Seider and put him on his wallet which isn't easy to do.

So much for the "dime a dozen, 4th line ceiling, 14 point upside" eh?

Dubinsky is also a very fun guy to hang out with based on past experience. Kind of a forgotten Ranger but he still loves the organization. He and Crosby going at it their whole careers in the Metro was fun to watch.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Dubs was more of a puck carrier. What I like about Cuylle is he keeps the game simple. He knows his skills and he leans in to them. No reason he can't become a heavy, fast 20 goal scorer in time.

When Othmann arrives, if they can find a way to draft/bring in a young gritty playmaking center to go between these two it could be a nightmare line to go up against league wide.

Cuylle has been a force for a rookie, very impressive

 

[Rangers in 7]

The dubi comp is probably pretty accurate and I never thought about it

He’s been playing well

I don't think this player exists in the league right now.

 

[Kords]

Just echoing what everyone else has been saying, he’s been awesome.

Just hope he doesn’t get the country club second year slump. Them bottomless mimosas are dangerous….

 

[bl02]

Thank You Peter for not burying him on the 4th line and giving him top 9 play. You can see the confidence he is playing with.
Othmann needs to follow the same process. Full year in Hartford getting big minutes then come here not being buried on the 4th line.

we have one in BMB

 

[Machinehead]

I don't know if he just doesn't have 100% confidence yet, but I actually like his measured approach to hitting so far.

Stay healthy, stay in position, and unleash the big one if the opportunity presents itself.

Again, I go back to Kreider as a role model. He's also really smart about engaging. He gets heat for it, but he always has the puck, so ask me if I care.

I'm interested in seeing him on special teams in the future. I think he has skills to lend to both units.

 

[Riche16]

I like the Dubinsky comp.

I feel like Cuylle's faster but I'm getting old so who knows???
