Ozzy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Ok, I'm starting this new thread for all of us are going to watch this kid grow into one of the best players on the team. I really like watching him play; he's tough, hits like a tank, has a good shot, and skates like he means it. He's earned a spot on this team, and I would absolutely love to see him grow into a star here. Baby steps for now, but I see big things ahead for "Cuylle-Hand Luke"!!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Cuylle in the past has said he models his game after Tom Wilson. Rarely do these kinds of comparisons have a legit chance of working out. I think it does here. I see a cleaner version of Tom Wilson. He plays a physical game within the boundaries of the sport, like Trouba knows how to do. Edited November 8, 2023 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Think he threw a couple of real good hits last night but I missed them. Anyone have replays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Seems the Lias Andersson pick finally is paying dividends. Cuylle has come a long way since the couple of games he played up here last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm very impressed with how quickly he has adapted. He's very involved and looks like a playmaker almost every time he's out there. Oh, and he hits like a train, and he hits everybody. If he winds up being an upgraded Tom Wilson, sign me the fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the times when players are making these comparisons, they completely fail to live up to the hype. I remember quite a few players being "like Lucic," but were clearly never going to actually be the beast he was when he was younger. Cuylle really does look like Wilson, though, especially on the physical side. Last night alone he had at least three absolutely crushing hits, including on on Moritz Seider, and he puts guys on their asses with his hits. Kid is no joke.

Ozzy Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 The Player we've been waiting for since Graves. I can see him as a mini Brady Tkachuk....and hopefully soon to be Matthew!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Honestly, to me he looks like a younger Wheeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Crazy what a year of top AHL minutes can do for a prospect. Hope it pays off with some of our other guys, because Cuylle has been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Reminds me of how Dubinsky used to play when he first got here where he would hit everyone and the hits were effective. offensively if he turns into a 20/20 guy ill be beyond pleased. love this kid. We need more draft picks like this. i am surprised by how quickly his game has become comfortable at the nhl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I watch Cuylle and start crying realizing how much of a bust Kakko is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Keep it "Cuylle" in here!!! ...Like 45 degrees Cuylle!!! ...looking forward to Thursday night's game. And also just a side note that Trocheck seems to blend very well with him. I like that chemisty they've seem to have found.

Ozzy Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I'm trying to find a stat that shows possession time with this 3rd line. With as slow as Wheels has started, Tro and Cools have seemed to have dominated in possession time to the eye-test. It might have something to do with Tro's Faceoff percentage being pretty high, but these guys always seem to have the puck, and/or chasing it into the O Zone.

Ahem...Trochek centered the 2nd line last night. He did not center Cuylle and Wheeler. #12 did, whoever that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possession numbers of Cuylle-Trocheck-Wheeler are good, but they do not have a 5v5 goal together. The irony is that the Cuylle-Trocheck pairing just happened to score goals in a marginal amount of time with other linemates besides Wheeler. I still want to see Kakko with them. I really think Kakko will fit like a glove with those two, and if he stands a chance to turn a corner, it'll be with those two guys. Someone also mentioned Chytil with Cuylle and Kakko, which is also a great idea since we know Chytil and Kakko has worked well together in the past too. Need Chytil back... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
