Prospect Info: Springfield Falcons Discussion - Coyotes AHL affiliate

If he ends up in the organization we can take up a collection to buy him a smart board

Those things are badass.

There's smudges of marker all over the gloves. I think he uses them as a white board eraser.

If that's true I forgive him.

He's already in the organization. Just not as AHL head coach. Not yet.

I would start a gofundme to get him a fresh pair of gardening gloves.

Saw that you guys instilled Niles as the GM of Springfield.

On behalf of Buffalo fans, I apologize for this development. He was just AWFUL at signing veterans to help our farm team. And 90% of the time, those veterans that were signed for Rochester/Portland just wound up in Buffalo anyways.

Have you seen what we had for the last number of years? Anything and I mean anything will be an improvement.

If you've got a solid group of prospects ready for Springfield, you'll be OK.

If not, I doubt there will be that much improvement......

So glad to see Bolduc gone.

Why? He was one of the best players for the Pirates and his leadership and character were unmatched... It might not show up on the scoresheet, but it critical for the development for the younger players.

Just don't want one of Tippet's boo thangs getting the call up over one of the kids. Especially with a few more center options available this upcoming season

This.

Agree, but it is time to move on.

 

[Kaizen]

I believe Wildcat's point is that the right vets are crucial to any success your AHL affiliate has and Bolduc certainly filled that role effectively, although the team's performance wasn't what everyone would have liked to see.

Yes, those 32 minutes of NHL ice time the last 2 years really held people back

Not sure if he's big enough to get THN credit but is Danny O'donaghue a free agent or have one year left?

One year left.

Still no word on a coaching staff for Springfield? Maybe announced at the draft?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

One year left.

Thank you!

Hopefully this second season is better than the last.

Probably tomorrow at 2pm at the state of the union press conference.

The Falcons have signed goalie Tyler Beskorowany. Former pick of the Stars who played the past few years in the DEL.

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=106792

He's 6'4", 212.

 

[crazyhockeylover96]

ECHL fodder and AHL insurance if Visentin gets re-injured/Langhamer struggles? I'm figuring Lee isn't qualified. Domingue and Visentin should be qualified.

NHL:
Smith
Domingue

AHL:
Visentin
Langhamer

ECHL:
Beskorowany

If DM finds a NHL back up (Lindback, etc), everyone would shift down a notch. I haven't heard if we're renewing our ECHL team or not.

I would assume that we would also get a uniform annoucement regarding the Falcons threads on or after the draft Coyotes threads are released.

 

[moosemeister]

I really think Domingue should be our back up. He played well enough behind the monstrosity of a roster we played last year. No need to spend the money on a back up in my opinion. Said back up wouldn't get any more games than Domingue anyways

 

[Sciamachy]

Rather have Dom be THE guy in Springfield this year. Show he can handle a full season workload as a number 1 then have him come in as backup the following season.

Yeah I suppose I can see that too. And with Edwards gone, it wouldn't be too bad of an idea.
