This I can agree with.

Estephan, Cornel, and Hurley are too green to judge but they could be top 6 players as well.

Bailey is "closest" for sure.

I still hold out hope for Baptiste. Big year for him

Bailey to me has the highest upside for the top six out of all prospects in the system with the exception of Nylander. I like him alot more than Fasching
- MCGUIZZY

The good thing is we have both Bailey and Fasching. They can both benefit from some AHL time, Fasching I think moreso, but they both have NHL potential IMO. Fasching showed he wasn't as slow as we thought although he's not fast by any stretch. Getting used to the speed of the pro game will help him.

Noooooooooooo roommers!!

I still hold out hope for Baptiste. Big year for him
- MCGUIZZY

Who is closer, Carrier or Baptiste? I haven't heard Carrier's name at all in a long time

I'd be okay losing Kane if I get a defenseman, but my thing is if Kane's value is already so far down like everyone says why would we sell low? Right now the stock is in a hold rating. You hold and hope it goes up but if you sell low you lose money. If he turns out to be worse you don't lose that much more.

Now, if you think I can get a good Dman for him, like I said, I'm all for it. But I won't do Fowler for Kane and a 1st. That's too much. I'm just okay with doing the 1st for him, not adding more to it.

Great question.

I've been screaming the same thing about Ennis.....everyone on this site seems to want to dump him while he's at his lowest, even when history tells us he should rebound.

He was apparently acquired in a trade with WSH on draft day and they declined to offer him a contract which allowed him to become a UFA.

Take it for what it's worth. Maybe there is more to it than I know but I cna't find it on google if so.

LOVE that size and still putting up points as well.

Can really find much wrong with the guy. Hes 20 so if we sign him he can go straight to the A. Seems like a no brainer to sign if he has a decent showing

This I can agree with.

you guys are forgetting carrier, who put up like 22 points in his last 25 games in rochester last year

Noooooooooooo roommers!!

If anything it could help Rochester, god knows they could use it.

I think if Carrier stays healthy you may see his name called first. IMO he would have been a call up at the end of last season had he not gotten injured

I still hold out hope for Baptiste. Big year for him
- MCGUIZZY

Big year for him.... maybe last year was just a learning curve.

But this year is going to be a separation.. He either joins Bailey, Fasching, and Nylander as borderline NHL players in Rochester or becomes a William Carrier career AHL looking guy.

Looks like Terry's jet is in Washington DC maybe picking up his franchise defenseman

I think a lot of people on this board are really underrating Foligno and what he brings to the team

Really what is it because I haven't seen it yet.

I could see him getting a shot especially because Murray traded for him

I wanna know why NYR didn't offer a contract to a guy they got in the 4th round??

I can't figure that out.

All I have found is some Blue Seats Blog that says "he regressed and did not warrant a ELC" which seems ridiculous to me.

FYI, a sniper is a shooter, not a passer.

Will this affect his vocabulary grade?

losing donovan and ruhwedel in riohester, no reason not to sign him now IMO

If his name was Mark fish no one would care about him

Big year for him.... maybe last year was just a learning curve.

See, you say that and 3 other posters say he has real potential. I did look and he had 20 in his last 24 before getting hurt. I don't follow rochester as much as I'd like, so I don't know.

Maybe... Rochester is going to be LOADED with kids.

Carrier, Baptiste, Bailey, Fasching, Nylander, Cornel, Dupuy, Estephan, Karabacek, and Olofsson are all there I believe.

Hes a call up this season if he stays healthy imo
- MCGUIZZY

agreed

lw
kane
foligno
moulson

ennis could play either side

vesey, wild card


could make the big club if a shake up occurs

If he was a second or third round pick I would understand signing him but remember you only can have a maximum number of contracts for prospects


Just like I think we should Of let our second round pick go this year

Where did Donovan sign?

Rodrigues too. I think Nylander is going to play in Sweden? Thought I heard that somewhere.
