Dylan Gambrell’s successes and failures this year appear to come down to one major difference: coaching.
In 51 games with the San Jose Barracuda and under Head Coach Roy Sommer, Gambrell tallied 20 goals and 25 assists. Of his 45 points, 37 of them were primary points. In total points, Gambrell finished fourth on the Barracuda, despite playing in 6-17 fewer games than the top thirteen scorers on the ‘Cuda roster.
During the ‘Cuda’s brief playoff run, Gambrell added four points (one goal, three assists) in four games, making him the second leading scorer for the team during that time.
