Should watch clips of Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar break ankles from the point.
That's what he does, he just shoots, the same way Ceci did. Most go into shinpads. It 's harder when decisions don't come naturally and you need an extra second to figure out what to do.He has a pretty hard slap shot, he should just wind up & let it go a few times & people will soon learn to get the hell out of the way. How hard is it to head fake one way & go the other?
If he play this year. The tweet said contract start 2021-2022
really good news. I like this guyCrookshank has signed an amateur tryout agreement and will report to the American Hockey League's Belleville Senators following a required quarantine period.
Senators sign forward Angus Crookshank to entry-level contract
Can anyone who watches the games explain what's going on with Formenton? I can only see his stats, which are not great... especially compared to last year, where he was one of the most productive players in the AHL. Did losing Norris change that much, is Formenton just sucking, or is Belleville as a whole really just that bad?

Guess it illustrates Formenton isn't particularly the type of player that can drive the offense or even drive a line, but is still a highly skilled and speedy complementary piece. But I guess most people knew that. I had just been hoping he could take another step offensively this season, but again, tough to have that expectation when you look at the team around him!He is still getting 1 or 2 breakaways a game which is crazy but he hasn't been able to close the deal much.
Seems recently he busted out of his 0-fer slump so I think he will be able to pick it up but the reality is that he doesn't have the same skill level around him to create plays. No more easy assists with Bath/Brown/Brann around driving play and as we know, having a D that isn't great at moving the puck has a huge impact on offensive players.

I agree with this & if they were to put Formenton with Stutzle & Batherson two very good playmakers who need some defensive help, the speedy Formenton could be that guy who is a pain in the arse to play against. He has the speed to keep up with Stutzle & Batherson & get back quickly on D, he has the size to win some board battles & steal pucks with his reach & he has enough offensive skill to put the puck in the net. While he can't drive the line he can certainly finish plays from the two playmakers, I think they would be a good fit.He's a Jason Chimera kind of player. He's big, fast as hell, has underrated skill and is a beast on the PK and forecheck.
He's not gonna be the main offensive piece on any line he plays on, but good chance he's just as important to the teams success as those higher end skill players. Just a perfect complimentary player.

Yah I see a very good 35- 45 pt third liner who misses scoring on like 30 breakaways every season.
Different position, but he'll probably be used like Chris Kelly was. Can plug and play on any of the 4 lines comfortably and contribute to special teams.
Troy Mann has mentioned his questionable decision making in two separate interviews about 2 weeks apart. Says he has good tools and has been forced to play up the lineup due to other injuries.. that last bit was a couple weeks ago. I think there is an interview posted not too far back.How has Lassi Thomson been? Points wise he seems to be doing alright for a 20 year old playing for the first time in the AHL, but how has he looked defensively?
So .. I think the only thing the Sens can/should do with Brown is be patient. I get Brown thinks he should be up vs down.. but if he sees the other side a bit I think he could get on board with a plan if he can stay healthy.. that seems to be a MAJOR hurdle for both parties.
I see him more as an Antoine Vermette who doesn't play center but a lot more of an abrasive game.

Peca and Brannstrom should help
