passend zu dem thema der kommentar zu nödl in der hockeysfuture prospects bewertung:
"7. Andreas Nodl, RW - 6.5C
Drafted 39th overall, 2nd round in 2006
Quickly making his impact in his first year of professional hockey, Nodl is looking to build on last year's advancement without being pigeon-holed in a role not befitting his skill set. After two seasons in the college ranks, Nodl, an Austrian native, split the 2008-09 season between the NHL and the AHL. With the Flyers, he posted a goal and four points in 38 games, while playing mainly a checking role. Meanwhile, with the Phantoms, he tallied six goals and 20 points in 39 games.
Opinions are mixed on Nodl, especially when discussing his future. As a young player who has proven that he can handle the NHL grind, some believe he would be better suited playing a role on the Flyers third or fourth line. But as a skater who has shown offensive talent by scoring over a point per game in both his years with St. Cloud State, others feel he would benefit from being developed further, perhaps with more time in the AHL, before being given a role on a scoring line. Nodl may already be at a crossroads in his career."
so gesehen ist die vorläufige "degradierung" für seine zukunft vielleicht gar nicht so schlecht. dass er seinen nhl-job in der checking line ausfüllen kann hat er ja vergangene saison bewiesen. die flyers haben ihn aber als top-scorer gedraftet und die nhl-reife für die scoring-lines muss er sich wohl erst in der ahl "erarbeiten".
