How has DLR looked this season? Has he improved his offensive game?

"We are a grinding team!"

ACCEPT IT!!!

Actually, most goals in the NHL are scored via grinding/hustle/net presence. You can't have a team full of only dipsy-doodlers.

So I get it about sending Andrighetto down to work some more on top end skill so that he can one day be one of the rare pure skill guys on our team.

But I do NOT get sending down a good grinding forward like Carr who gets RESULTS NOW!.

Not sure why they are so eager to rush DLR/


Because he will never be an offensive player in the AHL or NHL but he can be a force defensively. help create turnovers and neutralize offensive players and create space by winning battles along the boards. speed, size, understand and excel in his role.

Yeah, he'll help create cap space by allowing us to to move Plekanec.

Wait a minute ... $6M per year? That option has left the building.

Needed another 4th liner to add to the shuffle.

I like DLR, but he's not what we need right now.

Don't forget losing the draw. 37% FO last season.

Just listening right now to Therrien's description of DLR and it's really as if Therrien didn't see 1 game of DLR...oh right...he surely didn't. Who the heck is that guy Therrien was describing? Oh, that was last year's DLR....

That type of player is available on waivers/UFA every year for free. There's very little value in him unless he can develop his pro offensive game and there's much high chance of that happening in AHL vs NHL. At 20/21 years old, there's nothing gained from a 34th overall pick being developed into a fine 4th liner. Even Eller had 57 points in 70 games as a 20 year old in the AHL before reaching NHL.

He finally gets on a bit of a role offensively in the AHL with 7 points in 11 games and Habs are going to pull the same stunt as last season that clearly didn't work out well for him. I can already picture MB calling him a deadline addition for a playoff run.

DLR looks to be a career 4th liner. No offence whats so ever. The perfect Therrien player.
