Wasn't Lindberg being used as a centre for the Wolves last year?

He was. Lafferty could be used too, he's played a bunch of C in pre-season.

Blueger also has 1 and Lafferty and Miletic got 2nd goals, 6-2 in the 3rd.

 

[Jacob]

I kinda had Miletic pegged as an extra forward or possibly in Wheeling to start but seems like he’s shown to be higher on the depth chart than that.

^^ that a pre-season Wilkes game?

He was getting some good reviews in camp. I still have no idea what sort of player he projects to be because the descriptions are all over the map though.

Yes...I think season begins on Friday...

That was a snipe by Lafferty.

He looks like a pocket sized power forward to me (I think 6' 196 lbs is small for a power forward?). He skates quick, he bangs around, and he's got the hands to make something of what he bangs loose. Maybe a Kunitz player in the future (if you're really lucky)?



Also Lafferty looks a lot more skilled at that level than he did in pre-season.

What were people's thoughts on some of the other players. Was t able to watch or listen.

I thought you could see Lafferty’s skill on display in preseason, even if he wasn’t setting the world on fire.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Lafferty is a very skilled forward. His numbers in college don't reflect that, but the poor guy was stuck on a terrible Brown team for 4 years. He still managed to be their leading scorer for the past 2 years.

I didn't, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Frankly I trust your eyes on those kids more than my own... although didn't you say Haggerty skated like Adams? He looked as quick enough out there.

Ya I guess I didn’t make my joke obvious about Haggerty’s skating being the love child of Adams, Glass and Kuhn?

That’s an inside joke from a couple seasons ago when someone asked about him.

I don’t know what I think of Lafferty yet, but he was doing some encouraging things when I focused on him.

Angello as well.

Will take awhile to see what they have in these two though.

I mean, given the level of hyperbole that goes around these parts, it totally sounds like something someone would say seriously... so yeah, I thought you were serious

I liked Angello. Don't know what his ceiling is, but he looks like he's a good 4th liner at least.

Talk about an ECHL lineup... Lindberg, Muse, Joseph and Birks only ones with NHL-contracts. Most names I've never heard of, probably on AHL-tryouts I'd assume?

 

[WayneSid9987]

I liked a bit of what i seen in Lafferty in the rookie tourney+pre-season.
I could tell that he was very willing to mix it up physically a bit and the desire/want in his game was there.
He has some good tools too.
Like most of these guys you let em marinate and see what you get in a year or 2.

They're mostly ECHLers.

There's a few guys with a bit more to them - Erixon and Horvat have a lot of AHL games and I'm surprised neither got signed before going to WBS on tryouts, Peters was goaltender there. Also Taylor has a contract but Josephs doesn't.

But yeah, a lot of those guys are headed to the ECHL.

I've updated the screen cap in the first post. It still clicks through to the Pens CapFriendly page.

EDIT:
I'll add a screen cap and/or link to the W-B/S page whenever they post their roster.
