CommonDreads Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) So this is the remaining camp roster, they have 7 more cuts to make because probably Boyle and Zajac are going on IR to start the season Forwards (19): Joseph Blandisi, Brian Boyle, Jesper Bratt, Blake Coleman, Brian Gibbons, Taylor Hall, Jimmy Hayes, Adam Henrique, Nico Hischier, Marcus Johansson, Nick Lappin, Michael McLeod, Stefan Noesen, Kyle Palmieri, John Quenneville, Drew Stafford, Miles Wood, Pavel Zacha, Travis Zajac Defensemen (10): Will Butcher, Andy Greene, Viktor Loov, Ben Lovejoy, John Moore, Mirco Mueller, Dalton Prout, Steve Santini, Damon Severson, Brian Strait Goalies (3): Ken Appleby, Keith Kinkaid, Cory Schneider I see 4 obvious cuts with Gibbons, Lappin, Appleby, and Strait, and after that it looks like we're gonna have a few guys battling on Wednesday to not be among the final 3 cuts.

I actually think they kept Appleby for now so they can wait and see what happens with Wedge on waivers. If Wedge clears, then they know to send Appleby to Adirondack, if not then they'll send Appleby to Binghamton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Can they cut Prout? I would think McLeod is on the cut list too as well as Coleman. Maybe Loov too. Personally I like Quenneville and hope he makes the team but not over Bratt at this point. Bratt's hot like Hansel right now.

I think Wedge is suited better for NHL than he is for AHL, I will be sad if we lose him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 McLeod didn't do much plus got hurt last night, I don't see how he makes the team at this point so that's another gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger27 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 2017 Defense Greene, Severson, Santini, Butcher, Moore, Mueller, 7th Lovejoy or Loov............. Lovejoy very unimpressive and our new traffic cone, lol Did like Loov last night also nice physical presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Butcher might get sent, but I'm not sure what they promised him to come here. I like what I've seen from loov. An average nhl 3Rd pair defenseman like the rest of our D. Is he 6'-1" or 6'-3" looks more the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 So, no update for McLeod makes me think it's bad and he's getting a second opinion. Don't want to speculate but those non contact injuries are usually of the worst variety. Hopefully it's short term and he can go back to Mississauga and dominate the OHL and play a big role on the Canadian WJC team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I don't think you make such a concerted effort to land someone like him, see him perform well -- but maybe not spectacularly -- in the preseason with the idea that he's spending an extended period of time in Albany.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's an ACL.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, although just based on memory and experience, ACL tears seem somewhat rare in hockey, especially compared to football and basketball. Here's a question, do we know of any relatively highly touted prospects that have had an injury like that around the time they were trying to break into the NHL from junior, and what kind of effect it has on their development? Galchenyuk is the only one that sort of fits the bill, although he's not exactly what I had in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is there any video of McLoed getting hurt? I was at the game on Monday and didn't see it. All I heard was that it was non-contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I would love to see him tear up the OHL for another year. As great as he was down the stretch, it was only 1/2 of a season of dominance.

The organization obviously thinks more of him than that, otherwise they wouldn't have drafted him. He's coming off a minor injury so they're easing him back into practice.

Of course it's harsh, that's why the lol is in there... but this is not easing him back in.. it's been this way the entire preseason.. he's been on the first PK team in every games he's skated.. I think Hynes is finding a way to justify him making the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 With McLeod's speed, if he has any stick awareness at all he should be on the penalty kill. He might be a good offensive player 5 on 5 but might not be much good on the power play, and likewise I don't think the PK is the place to just dump your worst offensive forwards - I'd much rather see him on the PK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
