AHL Affiliate Thread - Send them the Wolves

[spockBokk]

A week ago I almost called my shot, that Bokk was going to be traded. Now I'm not so sure...

I think he’s definitely got a better chance of getting dealt than say, Suzuki or Rees, but he has also been on a tear lately. The knock on him lately has been his selfishness; I kinda think the Canes could use a guy like that, selfish in a good, wanting to score all the goals way.

Trade bait going on a tear is a double edged sword. Especially prospects. Other Orgs are watching that hot streak too. Friedman just said Anaheim wants NHL ready talent in that age range (as does everyone).

If the Canes want Manson + Rakell or Garland and Bokk's recent streak puts a deal in motion then that is just the benefit of keeping a stacked cupboard in action.

I agree with the need for a selfish goalscorer. I wish Svech would take a lot more shots instead of these S-level difficulty passes that constantly lead to turnovers.

Chicago lost 4-1 to the Iowa Wild.

Cotton scored the lone goal, his 7th. Ryan had an assist.

Rees got into a fight.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Some chatter that he may be part of a forthcoming Preds trade package. Did not make the trip per the Wolves announcer.

 

[hblueridgegal]

One more charity...

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Wolves won 5-4 in OT.

Bokk had a goal and an assist
Rees had 2 assists. He had a game misconduct penalty too
Ryan had another assist

Bibeau stopped 35 of 39.

Sharing is caring.

Sharing is caring.

It looks like the Nashville yutes care a little bit more than the Canes yutes, lol.

With the Memorial Cup now cancelled and with the OHL looking like they won’t have a season, you have to like that Rees and Suzuki are getting development time in Chicago. It also seems like Bokk and Cotton are developing well too.

I wonder if the Canes, if the playoff seeding is cemented, give a game or two to a Bokk or Cotton down the stretch.

Keane is back with the Wolves per their Instagram.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Again.

Because I'm pretty sure that Skjei will be Seattle's guy after the Fleury trade, there is room for Lajoie or Sellgren to get some opportunity for minutes next year. Rod does seem to prefer a stay-at-home partner for Pesce, though I'm sure that they're willing to start the year off with Gardiner and Bean at the 2 and 3 LH spots until the deadline. If Lajoie or Sellgren can become that stay-at-home piece, then the Borg likely won't need to worry about solving the position via trade.

Rod does seem to prefer a stay-at-home partner for Pesce,

The past two games Bean has played with Pesce and logged his two highest TOI totals. It might be a little premature, but Bean/Pesce has certainly looked like a strong 2nd pair that maximizes both players' talent.

Covid must have really kicked Suzuki’s butt. I can’t remember the last game he played in.

Brawls and fights galore in Wolves loss (100 PIM) 5-2

 

[NotOpie]

Not necessarily. Any of these guys could be potential trade bait considering the aggressive FO's love of trades to improve the big team. Laffer very well could still be in the Canes' plans.

My understanding is, historically, goalie prospects don't yield a lot.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Ingram started again and stopped 35 of 40. Ingram was taken out mid way through the 3rd, well after the 5th goal. Beck Warm stopped 8 of 8 afterwards. Im not sure why Beck isn’t getting starts more.
U
in the previously mentioned 100 PIMs, Malone was given an embellishment penalty on a trip call. Florida fans will be happy to know we are teaching diving at the AHL level as well.

We had two simultaneous fights that had 10 minute continuation penalties added to each.

Rees got a cross check and misconduct penalty in the 3rd.

Iowa was led by a lot of veteran scoring. Prospects vs Veterans. Not too worried about the results.

 

[NotOpie]

I don't believe we'll be sharing an affiliate next season.
