Having 3 points in 3 games after making the team out of camp is not "taking the bull by the horns" now?
I don't really get what more they wanted to see.
He has more goals in 3 games than Schaller has all season (36 games). He isn't the same player he was 3 years ago when he first got NHL ice, not even close. Just the exact same as Jay Beagle was a nothing bum at 23/24 and carved out 500+ games because the team he was understood the value in homegrown cheap depth. This regime doesn't get that.
That line of Eriksson-Beagle-Schaller last night is an $11m 4th line.
I'm hopeful for Gaunce, maybe not this year, but next year, after this really good season in Utica they'll see the need for a player of this ilk and he'll be cheap which hopefully will be important because the hopefully the team will choose to invest bigger $$ on the real difference makers in the lineup not the 4th line or bottom 6 of whatever label you want to use.
Schaller is a press box tenant. Why do people bring him up ? You really want Gaunce to take his spot and play once a month ?
Gaunce is exactly where he needs to be in the AHL. He needs to improve alot of things in his game. He needs more explosion and pace.
Playing in the 4th line here isn't going to develop anything for him.
Even Zack Macewan has surpassed Gaince.
