AHL: W-B/S Penguins Thread (Cap Details + Links in First Post)

[Jacob]

Looks good. You forgot Almari though.

Oops.. 3rd pairing w/ Abt I guess.

 

[JTG]

I would imagine that if things play out ideally, Bellerive will be one of the first call ups, right?

I would imagine that if things play out ideally, Bellerive will be one of the first call ups, right?

I think it's pretty up in the air. Palve, Johnson, Lafferty, Bjorkqvist, Miletic, Angello, Dipauli all should be ready for call ups this season. Should make for a hell of a competition.

It seems like they like to keep rookies down for at least a half of a season before a call up, so that could count against Bellerive and Bjorks in the early going.

I think that expecting a 20 year old straight out of CHL to leapfrog all the 22-23 year olds that already have had good college seasons is too much expectation; it could happen, but he's basically got to be Guentzel for that to happen.

That would be super and solve many problems at once, tbh.

It's unlikely to happen, but I'm not going to pretend that I don't wish it would.

He’s also coming to wbs like 2 -3 yrs earlier than Jake

 

[wej20]

Yep, Lafferty, Angello and Johnson (if he's not already in the NHL) will likely be the first call ups.

Just one of those forwards unexpectedly hitting their ceiling all of a sudden would be a godsend. Get three of them to do it and you change the franchise.

That would be really quite lucky though, even with good coaching.

 

[Jacob]

Probably Blandisi and Agozzino will be the first to get call-ups.

I'm not sure I get this-- does it make it more or less likely?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Definitely less

 

[Peat]

Yeah, those two extra years of coaching and physical maturity count - although it should be noted that Bellerive is quite possibly stronger than Guentzel is already. But very likely not fitter.

I guess its super hard to judge what Bellerive is because nobody knows for sure what he is with that fire hindering him last year. But I think even the best case scenario isn't going to blaze through AHL in a couple of months - there's no single freak factor attribute to hang his hat on.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Definitely less

That's what I thought, but the post I quoted seemed to imply the other way.

Language is weird.

Don't even get me started on the Slavic ones.

oh? do they park on the driveway, and drive on the parkway?

The bus walks, but the train drives, according to Russian.

And the verb to break up with someone in Czech basically means to "f*** yourself out of the relationship." So, y'know. It's a versatile group.

Could use another defenseman. Big young D-man Keaton Middleton had a solid rookie season with San Jose.

Find a mutant enforcer as an extra. Lehigh Valley has signed some rugged players, so it is best to have someone who can handle the dirty business.

Team looks to be youthful and fast, which is mandatory in today’s game.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

WBS alumnus immediately signing with Rochester from the top my head:

• Sahir Gill
• Kevin Porter
• Barry Goers
• Stuart Percy
• Adam Krause

 

[wej20]

Not surprising, obviously a lot of the AHL and even two-way bounce around organisations but with Botterill and Sexton both coming from us it kind of makes sense they bring in a lot of Ex Baby Pens.

JS Dea
Scott Wilson
Hunwick as well

Feel like there are more too.

They have/had one Pat McGrath. Some names out there though for enforcer role

 

[domaug]

per the WBS Pens facebook page, the WBS Pens signed G Dustin Tokarski for the 2019-20 season

PENGUINS SIGN GOALTENDER DUSTIN TOKARSKI

 

[Randy Butternubs]

That's a pretty good signing for WBS. And I guess that means Jarry is essentially gone. Not that we didn't already know that.
