I mean there has to be a bit. Mismash was never put in a top 9 role and Dooghe (5"3" 135 lbs) made the cut. Mishmash was tied for the point lead on the U18 team last year and the rest of those boys seemed to make the first cut. Berry needs to put Mismash with Pogo and Rhett and get him some points. If we don't have any of our boys on the U20 team this year that'll be a buzzkill.
This current team is littered with Big10 and HE players.
Im shocked. For how good Marto has been in the ECHL...he has only received a couple sniffs in the A. He is 30 though. He should go the KHL and make some money.
It's by 8/15, but you're right. He played juniors the year after he was drafted. One thing no one realize is that the GM of the Caps is a relative to him....so the only way he doesnt end up there is if both sides mutually agree it would be better for him to go somewhere else.
Wasnt Hoff - Olson and Bowen together at the end of last year? Against BU? Olson was putting up a decent amount of points at the end of the year with Hoff. Can't remember who was on the other side.
Neither do I.....but who does he play over? Maybe Jones or Smith. From what I've seen Jones is a more talented hockey player and Smith brings that bottom 6 grinding (and is big). The only way Simo play is because he's a C.
This was tough.
Mismash - Rhett - Pogo
Gersich - Kawaguchi - JJ
Bowen - Hoff - Olson
Adams - Jones - Smith
Yon, Simo, and Gornall all played decent in stretches last year. our bottom 6 is very tough to predict. There could be a ton of shifting around. I don't see a guy like Adams sitting at all though. Even Jones is a workhorse although he has struggled with the college game in his past so who knows. Deep forward group.
Wolanin - Peski
Poolman - Shaw
Johnson - Bast
Cam
So far....Cam J. (TB), Peski (OTT), Wolanin (OTT), Hoff (NYI), THome (CBJ), Gersich (WASH), Mismash (Nash), Smith (TB) all are at NHL development camps.
