RW Jesse Ylonen - Laval Rocket, AHL (2018, 35th, MTL)

[montreal]

Is there a reason he is scoring at a slower pace in his third Liiga season? Is he playing a smaller role or has he had some tough luck so far?

yes he's getting less ice time as he's been moved around but appears to spend more time on the 3rd line this year. He's averaged about 14 mins per game though so perhaps it has something to do with linemates as well as he may not be looking to play his best knowing he'll be leaving in a month or so when NHL camps hopefully start.

I am guessing you have watched a fair bit of Jesse this season, Montreal? If so, how has he looked in general? Has he made any significant strides that you can see? Based just off stat lines, he really seems to have stagnated the last couple years...hoping there has been some development you've seen. Thanks in advance!!

Ah, dang. Thanks anyhow.

 

[montreal]

Real impressive start to his AHL season, he's tied for 2nd on the team in points with 4 in 5 games.

 

[montreal]

Ylonen scored his 1st AHL goal tonight.

NHL 21 has Ylonen asking 6.5 million a year. LOL they also have nobodies asking 10mil a year so

 

[Wats]

Pleasantly surprised. I'll be honest, thought he was going to be another Collberg situation. Might actually be a prospect.

Yes, I get what you are saying. I was getting kind of the same vibes however he was a much useful player in Liga then Collberg ever was in the SHL.
I think he really needed a change of scenery. Really like what Bouchard is doing down in Laval so far.

 

[montreal]

An explosive start for Jesse Ylönen – Rocket Laval

 

[montreal]

Ylonen scores his 4th of the season on a blast of a shot on the PP.

Playing really well, any chance that he'd get called up?

Playing really well, any chance that he'd get called up?

Not yet. There's guys that could and should get called up before.

I'm a proponent of letting him develop a bit more in the AHL, then call him up when he's really tearing it up.

 

[sharks9]

Playing really well, any chance that he'd get called up?

I doubt it, but he'll get a chance at the NHL next year when we let some or all of Tatar, Armia, and Lehkonen go. Especially in a longer season with a higher risk of injuries he'll get his chance at some point even if he doesn't start in the NHL.

 

[montreal]

continues to play well in the AHL, his first 3 pt game in the AHL.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

4+4, 17 shots on goal, in his last 7 games.

 

[Favster]

I'm surprised by how big and smoth he looks out there. Exciting prospect.

 

[gifted88]

Is he hurt? Haven't seen him in the lineup the last while.

 

[frapp10]

Yes

 

[Mersss]

Is he hurt? Haven't seen him in the lineup the last while.

And the Rocket hasn't played in something like what, 2 weeks now?
