How does anyone watch the AHL with this horrible camerawork wow

 

[Kcb12345]

Another goal for Mascherin

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

TSN/Button have Harley as our only prospect in top 75, and he's 55. Not great.

His list is not great either

I'm not too concerned though we have Damiani/Bourque/Harley and Robertson/Dellandrea. Gonna add more guys this draft too. It is huge that Robertson appears to be panning out as planned

TSN/Button have Harley as our only prospect in top 75, and he's 55. Not great.

Most of our top guys graduated this year. Can’t say I disagree with not having more Stars players, even though his list is wack

People complaining about lists are the worst thing about lists

 

[Kipper 17]

I’m anti-list

Did he take a puck or skate to the face

What the hell. Damn it.

It's nice to see Scheel step in and give Texas quality goaltending right off the bat. Bow and Point have preformed very poorly in their pro career's thus far.

 

[Satan]

Even though Damiani is under a ppg, he is not up for adoption

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Damiani is a wing at the next level, correct?

Still listed at 170 pounds; the Texas Stars camera angle sucks and makes everyone look like midgets, but he doesn't seem like he's put on any weight. Most of the energetic shifty "waterbug" types tend to be moved to wing in the NHL and he was always a bad face-off guy anyways.

He's been awesome every time I've seen him though, really excited to see what he looks like in the NHL.

If I worked for the Stars I'd want to experiment with him down the middle in the NHL to maximize his value.

I'm not sure if he can break into the league at C and stick like Tyler Johnson did but I've learned not to doubt Damiani.

Damiani has all the tools to play C in the NHL. Elite skating, high-end IQ, can play PP and PK.

I wish he had better hands but that would just be a luxury.

He has a higher chance of carving out a nice NHL career as a C than say someone like Mavrik Bourque.

Bourque is a lock for wing in his professional future

Mavrik has all the tools you described as well (other than playing PK probably), so why ido you think Mavrik is a lock for wing but Damiani can cut it as a center? Not saying I disagree or anything, just wondering what Damiani has that Mavrik does not.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Mavrik is slightly bigger and better at face-offs*. He was also more productive at a younger age. I think Damiani is a better skater though.

I don't know if Mavrik can stick at center either, but I'm a little more confident in him doing so.



*I think face-offs are a tad over-rated, but I think it matters as to whether a coach will let them play center.

 

[Kipper 17]

I thought Mavrik's skating was one of his best attributes? I'm talking about agility and edge-work, not top-end speed.

Mavrik's very strong on his skates and has great balance. Really tough to knock off the puck for a 5'11" guy.

I think Damiani has better speed, acceleration and agility though. Elite skating was an exaggeration by Swat, but he's really quick.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

I'd rather Mascherin get first crack at NHL minutes out of the Texas Stars guys.

Gonna require waivers and it seems like now that he's turning 23 he's dropped the extra few pounds of baby fat and is closer to his physical ceiling. I'm not sure how much more he can improve whereas with Damiani and Harley, they could still fill out and get stronger. If Mascherin doesn't get a chance this fall, I'm not quite sure what the point of having him in your organization is.

To play for your minor league team and score goals?

Just because someone now require waivers doesn't mean he deserves to have a shot to make the NHL over younger players first. If the younger guys are better in training camp they make it over Mascherin. It's that simple. If Mascherin make the team cool , if he doesn't he doesn't.
