andy andreoff

Doesn't look good for andy to be returning:

@mayorNHL: Confirming pre-camp article on MayorsManor, #LAKings coach Terry Murray raves about Andy Andreoff 2day. Think 'penciled in' for Manchester

That's good for Andy as he has worked super hard to get where he is, kinda sucks for the gens as really good have used him this year!

Whats bad for the Gens could also be a blessing. I love Andreoff but we are stongest up front. It frees up a spot to trade for an OA Defencemen or Goalie at the deadline for a bargain price. Without being the organization that has to cut an OA that has proven themselves.

Just another little article I found on Andy:


Now, he shares a few thoughts on forward Andy Andreoff, selected by the team in the third round of the this past June's draft.

As you may recall from a recent interview posted with Andreoff, he's an over-age player, meaning he can turn pro this season or go back to the OHL for one more year.

And where he might end up is apparently already on Murray's mind...

"I've asked that question myself already coming into camp because I liked what I saw in the Development Camp in July. He's a pretty gritty guy. He's in everybody's face right away - 'You want to try me out, let's go!' Physically, he's a pretty mature kid. I don't want to talk in-house secrets, but he might be penciled in to be a player who gets a look here in Manchester at the start - go to the (main) camp, get into a couple of exhibition games, see what happens. Then, we can always make a decision from there. To me, he's right on the cusp of being able to make that jump."

Leave it to Murray to change the question. Just when it looked like the majority of attention for the games against Phoenix could be placed on Brandon Kozun and Tyler Toffoli, the coach stirs things up.

Tomorrow night should be fun.

On a side not I'm sure if we need another OA defenceman, but I can see you point on a OA Goalie. I'd rather keep Andy and get rid of Maggio (since we can only have 3). Of course as you can tell from my thread--I may be a bit bias:)

why do the gens need an oa goalie for we already have 2 goalies doesn't make sense to me at all im so confused about this.

our one goalie isn't good, the new one we aren't sure about yet.. if we make a push for the playoffs we need a good goalie

I don't know what could possibly be confusing about my statement, one goalie has had multiple chances and never ever made the best of them and two our new all star rookie goalie is just that a rookie.

Whats the percentage of teams that win the OHL championship with a rookie goalie, I'd guess not good. Not that it's impossible.

Altshuller will be great when we start to rebuild next year, and will be around for a few seasons. But relying on him his a huge gamble, and the Gens clock is ticking. Where will be next year when theres no Andreoff, Thomas, Jenner, Jensen, Lessio?

I think the best thing to do, and it's just my opinion would be to give Altshuller the majority of the starts between now and the deadline, and then no matter what bring in a goalie at the deadline as assurance, give Altshuller 1 in every 3 or 4 games down the stretch, and that way we break him in and as the pressure mounts it won't become to much. That and we're set in goal that way.

Our last two great goalies (Balie and Zador) were busts compared to the hype at least. Been there done that, don't want to put all the eggs in one basket.

"Eggsactly!"

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't Jenner, Jensen and Lessio still be in the OHL next year assuming they are not in the NHL? Thomas more than likely will either be in the AHL or the NHL.

yep thats right because you have to have 4 years of junior before you can play in the ahl...and lessio and jensen will have 2 after this year and jenner 3

Jensen is elligible for the AHL this year I believe. I thought the 4 year rule doesn't apply to Imports, could be wrong. There is also a possibility of one of Jenner/Lessio improving enough to be in the NHL next year, depending on where there NHL teams are at.
