i can't honestly read all your diatribes man

sorry

- onesmallleap



cop out

Don't you miss Luc? Anyway, thought Neill had a nice underdog story coming up. Equated that to sentimentality on LB.

Wasn't that the intent of your question? I named 2 underdogs, and gave some type of comparison on what little I have seen of them.

Tough crowd.

I was fine with your response. I said I wanted to see Jasek come to Utica.

That's a compelling arguement....
2 out of 3 ain't bad tho

In all seriousness, I'm interested to see how Brisbois does next year in Utica, he's shown huge improvement from last year and he's a good mix of offense and solid D and can play in all situations. Could surprise some people.

he'd looked promising last camp his skating was effortless

He was great two way. Had a great accurate shot and good passer. Hard hitter too. Neill not as physical but he's working on that. AHL next season it will come more. Throwing in the QMJHL stuff too. Hey it's an underdog comparison, right
- Nuck4U



Neill is a C rated prospect maybe even a D .They stripped down his game and are rebuilding him

Whatever they're doing it seems to be working, he's put up the best numbers of his junior career so far. Maybe now he's a B-???? Who's the teacher handing out these grades by the way? Is she hot?

I hope Neill finds a better defensive game. Sounds as if he is a PP specialist for Charlottetown. Going to push Subban out.
- manvanfan


Yeah he will work on that. Kind of hard in the Q. But that's what the AHL is for, right?
But good push for offense next season.

More junior D men going to make Comets next season. Will be better. Depth slowly working into system.

Ya, I was more so referring to the other critics who jump all over everything and anything.
But I guess that's what we do here.

He actually had a heart problem. Had Surgury and his game took off as you can see by his numbers this season. He's an underdog which is what manvan was asking for with late round picks. So rate as you like. They are saying good things about him. He will get a chance in AHL to develop more.

Trust me once you had time with Vantel there's no going back


Anyways as a 19 year old last year he had 14 G 40 PTS -16 this year as a 20 year old Jr he has 8 goals 50 points and -19 . His D is an adventure and his coach a few weeks ago said it still needs work.

He was called up to the Comets last year and didn't get a sniff of ice time .

He is an overage project . He was no where near Luc Bourdon

He's definitely improved at both ends of the rink - it could be the change of scenery/team or individually, either way it's a plus. He's actually the second highest scoring defenseman in the league, it's the small victories. Interesting to see how he performs in Utica.

No. You got something negative to say about LB

We're talking about Carl Neill right? Cus his numbers this year are 13g52A and +19 which is a considerable improvement even tho he's 20, give him a year in Utica and see how he handles the jump

That's what you're supposed to do when you're not competitive.
