Walker Duehr

Looking at the Stockton site and we apparently signed this guy to an ELC.

Perhaps I missed it in another thread.

Brought up in Waiver News, though it didn't really fit there.

I believe he has to sign an amateur agreement to play in Stockton.

 

Some discussion between me and JJ in Waiver News, about 1/2 way down page 6.

Draws some Hathaway comparisons from some of what i've read. Not an overly skilled player but hard working, big frame that he can use, and good smarts. Right shot as well. 

 

Fills a position of organizational need to even though the upside may not be high it's worth the shot and a good target.

Sweet.  We need these type of players.

Walker "Texas Ranger" Duehr assigned to Stockton today.

3 days break, so either is a cap move or Ritchie is due to come back.

I hope he gets some games in before he's recalled again.

Right now the hottest players in Stockton are Ruzicka (C/LW), Pelletier (LR), and Phillips (RW).

Of that bunch, Ruzicka and Pelletier make the most sense.

Both are fast.  Pelletier is a Mangiapane like work ethic.

Pelletier would benefit Monahan and Dube, as he's a setup guy.

The joys of success is that we get to let these guys ferment longer, which is never a bad thing. I really like that Duehr got some time with the big club. It can only help his game to see what the big club is doing and take it back to the guys in the A so they know what to expect.

Ruzicka and Pelletier can only get better.

They are middle 6 guys, so we really have no use for them right now anyway unless we bench Pitlick.

Duehr seemed to fit the middle 6 as well, but is more of a big fast body than a sniper.

 

The good thing is that the 4th line is not really a concern this season.

We have 4-5 guys that can fit there.

Need to get Monahan's line going a bit better.

Pitlick helps MOnahan's D game, but not so much his O game.
