Well he has a better track record and he also got into a number of Moose playoff games this pasr season. I think the org likes him better.
I think Stallard doesn't skate well enough to make the NHL. Gennaro doesn't, either.
There had to have been some character issues with him, because they released him from his ATO within two weeks of signing one.
Stallard outscored him by a bit this season and also outperformed him in the playoffs. McKenzie did get into 3 AHL playoff games vs none for Stallard. So maybe they do like him better, but why would they?
He has two seasons of being a 40 goal and 85 point season stalled has one big year. That counts for something. McKenzie also plays with more of and edge.
Not enough difference there to justify giving a contract to one and not the other. McKenzie is also seriously small. Same height as Petan and 15 lbs lighter. He and Stallard are not identical players but they are pretty close to equal.
Your free to that opinion, I disagree with it. We shall see what happens. They don't have to sign McKenzie for another season and can let him play another year in the dub if they choose to. He imo is a superior goal scorer and he scores goals in a way the Jets need some help in and that is being very good around the blue paint.
He also plays an in your face feisty game like Gallagher which is also something the org could use. He is a very different type of player.
A scout friend of mine:
"Not surprised. I didn't like anyone on that PA top line, TBH."
I think Samberg has a great chance to be a good top 4 D. One of the others seems likely to make it eventually.Samberg
kovacevic
Stanley
Green
Gawanke
Evingson
If two of those kids can hit I think we will be in good shape long term without allot of trading. I feel good about Samberg, ok about Kovacevic , but after that I think we get into the longer shot territory IMO. Still would like a trade to aquire Rasmus Andersson from Calgary for one of our forwards like Armia.

Green is pretty solid if he can stay healthy.

The next few seasons with the Moose we may be integrating allot of our D prospects, I wonder what the plan will be for Green next season?
Don’t fall asleep on Nogier.
I don't think I've ever been awake on Nogier.
I'm guessing him and Stanley will both be on the Moose.
He was injured. I don't think he'll ever be a point producer, but I think his potential is better than Chiarot's was at that stage.Yeah I don't think Nogier will ever be a full time NHLer at this point. He's having a hard enough time producing on the Moose.

I remember Garret suggesting that Nogier had some good underlying stats on a terrible junior team. Give him another 2-3 years and I think he has a chance. He's a very good skater, and if he learns to manage the puck under pressure he could become a lower end NHLer.
