Nice to have some more kids to follow on the farm Who was low on Morrissey? He was the Moose' best defenceman for most of last season... Goalie 1
Goalie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 19 hours ago, Atomic said: Yeah for sure, I just didn't think it was allowed. They have done it with a few draft picks now. Morrissey got an ATO as did Jansen Harkins last year. They sign the ATO because they aren't old enough to be allowed to play in the A. Exceptions for European drafted players playing junior in Europe apply hence why Nylander was a Marlie for a couple seasons and not in junior. He played junior in Europe Atomic 1
Goalie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 About Poolman... his season is still going. UND plays BU Friday. Win and UND moves on. Lose and they are done. He also suffered an injury last game tho but word is they expect him to play Friday buy haven't heard any updates about if he will The Unknown Poster, Floyd and JCon 3

Yeah there were people that thought he looked far too out of place in the pros and would be a project. Definitely a great thing that he made the jump to a critical role.

It said that Morrissey was too smart and thought too fast for the AHL and couldn't adapt as well to the erratic paly . In the NHL, the players are smarter and doing things more predictably and at a higher level and Morrissey thrives in that situation. Not sure I buy that but it is an interesting theory.

I guess you haven't watched many Moose games this year. I would say that most are struggling, so maybe they're ALL too smart for the A! Floyd and kelownabomberfan 2

It's a pretty common thought applied to many "defensive defenceman" prospects. Most of what they do is based on their "reads" and reads are a lot easier when the opposition is playing a coherent system. The more "pond hockey" the other team is playing, the harder it is for a smart defenceman to do his job because it's difficult to read the next move of someone making it up as they go along.

The Jets must befuddle their opponents on a nightly basis.
Goalie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 It's always amazed me how dumpster fire like certain players look on the Moose but don't on the Jets or not as much... melchiori is awful but in the NHL he doesn't look as awful as he does with the Moose. Strait is a dumpster fire also and awful but less awful with the Jets. Even Petan Dano and Copp didn't look great with the Moose or Armia even. They are all capable NHL players tho. Keep in mind also... these guys grow up wanting to play in the NHL... not the AHL. As for people thinking Morrissey wasn't good.... well you had ppl calling Kyle Connor a bust also. Some people think if a guy doesn't make the NHL hid first year in pro he sucks... those people are wrong tho
Atomic Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 People called Kyle Connor a bust? He wasn't ready for the NHL but that doesn't make him a bust. I guess I don't listen to the radio much any more but I haven't heard anyone call him a bust.

Yeah not NHL ready and i wonder if the jets would have signed him to contract if they knew Laine was coming. Perhaps another yeah in the NCAA might have been better.

Just because he's not nhl ready which he probably is right now anyway... doesn't mean he should have stayed In a lesser league. This idea that you seem to have about guys being rookies not being on the team so they should have stayed in college or junior ... just stop Edited March 24, 2017 by Goalie
Floyd Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 Moose torched again... “They won the game on their powerplay.” said Moose head coach Pascal Vincent. “Scored three goals on their powerplay. Got to block some shots. We have to do a better job there for sure.”

Also, if you are the kind of defenceman who makes quick reads and quick passes, playing with lesser skilled teammates means you often don't have the play you want to make available to you. Your teammate didn't make the same read, and even if they did they might not be fast enough to get to that spot, and you're left fighting your instincts and looking for plan B a lot of the time. So Morrissey may have been forced to dumb down his game just to be on the same page as the rest of the Moosekiteers, but I watched one Moose game last year, so I couldn't say if that holds any water.
