Every goalie behind Vasi seems pretty wide open next year.

 

[Point21]

Would love to see Alnefelt come over as well and run Alnefelt, Miftakov, Martin as the 3 Crunch goalies

 

[Point21]

i really hope we call up Katchouk and Raddysh to see how well they do.

Crunch Rally Past Amerks, 7-6 - Syracuse Crunch

After going down by three, the Syracuse Crunch rallied back and scored six straight goals on their way to a 7-6 win over the Rochester Americans tonight at the Blue Cross Arena.

The line of Boris Katchouk, Otto Somppi and Taylor Raddysh combined for nine points (4g, 5a)

Boris Katchouk is on a 12-game points streak (9g, 12a)…Taylor Raddysh is on a 10-game points streak (7g, 10a)…Otto Somppi has three consecutive two-goal games and nine total points (6g, 3a) in that span

The Crunch scored four goals in 1:54 tonight.

Katchouk tied for 8th in AHL scoring

Somppi and Raddysh tied for 17th in AHL scoring

Morand now has 4 goals, 6 points in 9 games with Syracuse. He had 1 goal, 6 points in 21 games with San Deigo.

That one-handed Somppi goal is just beautiful.

So I was thinking about some possibilities for next season. Katchouk and Raddysh have been together practically their entire time in Syracuse so I would keep them together in Tampa next season. You can maybe get another early Palat and Johnson connection, a Point and Kucherov or Killorn and Cirelli. They both have a bit of experience playing with Colton and Stephens so you can have them on the 3rd or 4th line. I would think the 3rd with Colton because Maroon is still around another season and Joseph while deserving a bigger role is fine playing the 4th line. You move Gourde to the top 6 to replace Palat, Killorn or Johnson. I would like to bring back Goodrow but unless we move two of those three forwards I can't see how. Sommpi should pass through waivers so he can continue as the 1C in Syracuse, just need to find some new wingers for him, maybe Gonclaves can come in and play top line.

Nothing surprising, but Alnefelt is indeed leaving HV71.

G prospect Ty Taylor is in the NCAA transfer portal. No new commitment yet, but he's open to it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Back to back wins for the Crunch this weekend where they chase both starting goalies.






Katchouk who was in the AHL top 10 in scoring entering the weekend is now in the top 5.

2 big weekend wins for Val-d'Or with Cajkovic collecting 5 more points

Katchouk is the AHL player of the week following Raddysh who won it last week

Nothing surprising, but Alnefelt is indeed leaving HV71.

This could end up being a good move for him. Another year in Sweden on a better team could do a lot for his development before his eventual stint in Syracuse. I don't really see anyone else who says "Vasy's future backup" more than him so I hope the next 2 years or so can be really good for him

I'm in favor of business as usual by then. We are already at "Vaccinated individuals don't have to wear a mask outside" territory per CDC/President Biden as of today. Also stats show we've vaccinated at least another 33 million people (10% of US population) in about the last 3 weeks and are at 43% of the population having had at least 1 shot.

Give it 6 more months like this and I don't see why not. Most will be fully immune by then and those who aren't will have had their time to make that choice and I don't see how leagues would carry any health liability.

Good for Salda, but he is no longer a Lightning prospect.

 

[Felonious Python]

OSB has like 18 regular season games left, just for reference.

Is that good?
