Stoykewych just signed a 2-year deal. Is he a virtual lock to be the next Moose captain?

Stoykewych just signed a 2-year deal. Is he a virtual lock to be the next Moose captain?

It's between him and Lipon, probably.
Lipon has seniority in playing for Jets' affiliates (since 2013; 2015 for Stoykewych), and he brings that 100+ PIM leadership like Cormier did
Stoykewych has seniority in age and tenure in the organization (since 2010; 2013 for Lipon), and he's local, of course.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

JC = Just Captain. Give A's to Stoyk and Schilling.

Melchiori gone?

 

[HannuJ]

this is a fun line-up and, for the first time, i actually look forward to seeing the D develop during the season. stanley, green and cederholm may look rought for the first 20 games, but hopefully we see them develop.

 

[mcpw]

Melchiori gone?

He's a UFA and hasn't signed any contract yet. The Moose still have a veteran spot open so a possibility is still there - who knows.

Moose may have offered him an AHL contract too. He was on his 2nd contract for the last 2 years already so it is time. He may still be hoping for an NHL contract somewhere.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think Stoyk will likely be captain of the few. Lipon wouldn't be a bad choice, but he has more of an agitator role and would be a great alternate captain.

 

[Oilpeg]

Melchiori signed with Florida.

Been around since Atlanta

We're keeping Jacksonville as ECHL affiliate:

Icemen extend NHL affiliation with Winnipeg Jets

"It's been great to work with an organization that we're on the same page with. Jets executives Mark Chipman, Kevin Cheveldayoff, Craig Heisinger, and their coaching staff--they run a first class organization that's invested a lot in our team," said Icemen head coach Jason Christie. "To be able to work with them sending players up, and being able to develop players they send down, was obviously key for us. For our guys, getting that opportunity move up to the next level was huge."

Been around since Atlanta

Wow, really? I thought Melchiori was the last remaining Thrashers pick on th Moose... Or now Panthers rather.

Interestingly Stoyk is actually the last draft pick the Thrashers ever made (according to Wikipedia):

Cam Maclise stays for another year.

Projected Offence:

Lemiuex	Spacek	Appleton
Kerdiles	Griffith	Mckenzie
Everberg	Suess	Harkins
Utaski	Riechel	Lipon

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Notes:

- Depth all through the lineup looks very, very strong all around

- Great AHL Vets(Kerdiles, Griffith, Everberg) coming in could give direction to new young guys coming in as well(McKenzie, Suess, Utaski)

- Lacks scoring star power like Roslovic(Vesalainen could change that very fast if he signs)


Projected Defence:

Niku	Poolman
Stanley	Green
Schilling	Cederholm

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Notes:

- Assuming Stanley has improved in his skating flaws and some other areas while Green can stagnate or improve overall, I think this might be the best overall defence in the AHL(and it’s depth is amazing as well).

- Niku getting moved up would really hurt the team when it comes to star power(as he’s currently the best player on the Moose and best D-man in the AHL), but it’s possible Stanley or Green can replace him if they breakout in the AHL in a similar way that Niku did, if he where to move the Defence would still be amazing but the team dynamic would be very hurt overall by the loss of his talent due to the lack of star power already.

——-

This roster has the potential to repeat success or get even further with there depth but I’m still a little hesitant that they have the star power to be a Calder contender.

It'll look even better with Vesalainen and Nogier.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

It'll look even better with Vesalainen and Nogier.

Until Vesalainen is signed and confirmed with the Moose I don’t think he should be added. But no questions I’d put Vesalainen in the Top 6 if he where signed(I don’t know if there coach would have him on the top line just yet though).

 

[trebendan]

Francis Beauvillier, who played for the Moose last season on an AHL deal, has signed with the Belfast Giants, per eliteprospects.com

 

[trebendan]

Also per eliteprospects.com, Brody Sutter won't be back. He signed to play in Finland.
