GDT: Avs at Canes

[Blueline Bomber]

Well, it was clear that this team was banking a lot of their hopes on getting "NHL contributer" level play from Necas and Svech.

10 games in, and one has (rightly) been sent to the AHL and the other hasn't quite been as impactful as this team needs.

Well of course losing three games in a row is disappointing but hockey is a team sport and Andrei Svetchnikov has been one of the most dangerous players of the canes so far.this while being a rookie, with limited ice time and playing with players who did not finish properly his great plays. Yes true, he also missed some occasions. I watched all games so far this season and my impression is....he is getting better and better and he will deliver don't worry. He is so talented and skilled.

Andrei Svetchikov will get more and more ice time as the season rolls on.
He has a nose for the net with a heavy accurate shot.

 

[AD Skinner]

I'm not worried about svechnikov at all. I am worried that no one on the coaching staff will have any clue how to resurrect the special teams and they will sink an otherwise pretty decent team. I'm also worried the organization is going to pretend scott darling is an NHL goaltender despite him clearly not playing to that level, but that may just be cynicism.

 

[bleedgreen]

What Darling needed last year was some time in the AHL. Could be a good thing even now.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm glad I missed this one. Too bad most of the team missed it too.

This isn't going well.

Weren’t you the one preaching “patience” after Francis was fired? What happened to patience?

 

[Canes]

They should do the same thing that is thought to be good for Necas...send him down to Charlotte and let him get 20 a night in all situations.

I think we would seriously be considering Charlotte for him... if it were an option to begin with. If he doesn't stick around on the NHL squad, he has to be re-assigned to his junior team unfortunately.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I think Svech has looked pretty good. It's hard to really evaluate him with the linemates he has at even strength and the PP being a tire fire. They caught lightning in a bottle for a few games with Wallmark and Martinook playing well, but he needs to play with guys that bring more offense to the table. It's a fine line between bringing him along slowly and neutering him offensively (not long term, just for now).

I don't think so... that's a CHL thing per the NHL/CHL transfer agreement clause that's meant to prevent CHL talent leaving to AHL. It doesn't concern Svech who was drafted from USHL. I don't think USHL has such agreement.

I have hard time not comparing him to Laine, and so intuitively I want him to be brought in similar fashion all year up in the N.

Svech was drafted from the Barrie Colts in the OHL though. He played in the USHL the season prior for Muskegon.

Ah damnit! You're right about that. CHL rules it is.

What does a GM search have to do with Brindy's team playing Bill Peter's hockey and a 3 game losing streak?

It has to do with you, of all posters, preaching patience back then when you clearly have none yourself, as you have shown time and time again.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

You're wasting time.....

 

[RodTheBawd]

Just be patient with BBA.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Aren't we all. At least I can say I contributed to the ever marching increase in entropy, and decreasing enthalpy, in the universe.


Yay me.
