Moose Season Discussion

Hmmmmm - Evan Polei, 6'2 270 lbs, doesn't score much. Takes roughly 5 PIM for every point scored. I wonder what his role could be?

A goalie? Holm not coming over? More Dmen?

I feel like that must be a HockeyDB typo. Everywhere else has him listed 220-230.

Yeah, I see EP has him at 229. I don't imagine 6'2 and 270 would skate very well. Still a lot of PIMs though.

A strange batch of signings.

Yeah, too often with the Moose I find myself asking not where do they find these guys but why do they find these guys?

You still need depth. I mean pretty easy pickings, guys you would have seen from the A, guys our college scouts would have seen. Don't know if we have any university level scouts.

But when you get down to guys who will probably cost the team $500 a week to play in the ECHL, I'm not too worried. The only signing that caught my attention was Desrosiers, and what that means for Holm, who still is not listed on the Jets or Moose roster by Elite Prospects.

Found a couple gems last year in Todd and Malott. Both have NHL contracts now, Todd with St Louis and Malott with the Jets.

Yeah they've brought in some legit talent. I was a bit surprised we didn't sign Nate "Wolfman" Todd to a 2-way contract, for beard value alone.

Holm likely gets a starters share in the ECHL this season. To be honest it’s the best way to go and gets Berdin more games with the Moose. Desrociers being a former second round pick has some talent and will be a more than capable backup to Berdin.
Also consider the last couple seasons where the Jets have brought in the likes of Ken Appleby and Arturs Silovs as backups for the Moose this depth is a vast improvement!

I think there is still a chance for Berdin to win the backup position in training camp. In which case it would be ideal to split the time between Comrie and Holm. Or if Comrie gets taken on waivers again, at least there is a veteran who has played pro for a while. But not a word on Holm. Hopefully is in training camp.

It's interesting how many in the media are fixated on familiarity. I wonder if other cities do this? (Like, when someone moves to Florida or Vancouver for a job, does anyone care if it's familiar or not?)

It's easy to sell familiarity when you are trying to build a family team. Florida sells itself. Vancouver, well they pay more than most teams, so there is the money factor.

Looks like season seat holders will be getting free access to Manitoba Moose games via AHL TV this season, nice little bonus for those of us who like to catch some Moose games.

 

[Atoyot]

$64.99 for all Moose games this season. Seems fair enough

 

[sipowicz]

Guessing Niku should solidify the Moose 2nd PP unit!

Fast-forward to Oct 2nd, well into preseason and is proving apparent that Jets may need Berdin or Desrosier to step up and backup Helleboy! Comrie is looking like a " street hockey teams' lseer players little brother" thrown in the nets because you don't have anybody else! His HL level play is STILL very sub-par!
He is consistent, tho', 4.?+ GAA in his NHL games.
Alot of them are preseason, too. Sorry Eric, no offence but...stick to the ECHL/ AHL.
Chevy get some please.

Anyone want to take a stab at Moose line predictions???

 

[ICdave]

According to the team the following three players were released from their tryouts:

Colt Conrad
Croix Evingson
Nick Halloran

The following five players were assigned to their ECHL teams:

Philippe Desrosiers (Trois-Rivieres)
Peter Krieger (Indy)
Ty Pelton-Byce (Newfoundland)
Tristan Pomerleau (Newfoundland)
Dean Stewart (Wichita)

Which gives them 26 players in camp.

Heading to the city tomorrow for my first Moose game. Look out for me, I’ll be the one behind the Moose bench drunk as f***
