I'm anxiously awaiting Vatrano as well. .maybe cuz I feel desperate for some offensive spark which I'm not convinced berg or krejci will provide
I do and think its the right move.
takes awhile to regain skating legs, stamina and timing. Do it in Prov..
Hopefully he comes back after his AHL stint after the New Year and that slots guys in different spots and some out the door. We need to settle the lines and dee, it still looks like training camp.

I'm trying to temper my own expectations.
But, I think it's clear that Vatrano has a very good shot and release and he can get it off.
Krejci/Backes have combined with Schaller to give Krejci the second best possession metrics of his career (12/13). They have done that, despite Krejci getting the second worst zone starts of his career (07/08).
If Vatrano does nothing but equal Schaller's play and shoot the puck, I don't know how that line doesn't see its production explode.
Shoot. There I go again not properly managing expectations.

Does he play the other weekend game and play against the Isles on Tuesday or get called up tomorrow and play the Kings Sunday morning.
Hopefully the latter.

Sweet, so happy for him and us. Get up here once your ready and bounce some guys off the roster.

He likes to shoot the puck.Love to see him go with Krecji and Backes Then put Pasta back where he belongs with Marchand n Bergie.

Where did that puck go? Did he fire that through the goaltender or did he manage find room somewhere over top? Goalie had the angle aggressively covered there.

That's an understatement,averaged 5.2 shots a game in PRO and over 6 in his last year of NCAA. In the last 10 years of rookies playing over 30 games,he is 27th in shots per game but 140th in shooting percentage. Last year in Providence his shooting percentage was 19%,but with the Bruins it was 8.1%. If he can keep the shots up and get the shooting percentage up to 12%,that's a 25 goal guy.

I'd wouldn't mind seeing a Czarnik & Vatrano reunion. Vatrano/Backes/Czarnik is potentially almost a lesser recreation of the Marchand/Backes/Pastrnak first line that worked so well.
Spooner and Czarnik do seem to have some chemistry though. Vatrano/Spooner/Czarnik would be pure skill. Maybe a little too loose for Claude though.

Like I've said before he has the it factor. And it's not just about his ridiculous numbers. It's been a pleasure watching him in Providence the past couple years. Now I just hope after this conditioning stint I never see him again down there.
