They never give this kid a shot to see what he can do but we have Chad LaRose play on the first line.

He had 6 games where he was invisible on the 2nd line with Skinner and Staal. Dwyer stepped in and was immediately more effective. Dalpe's game has consisted of either speed down the wing and shoot it into the goalies chest or flip the puck into the zone, skate in after it and lose the battle along the boards.
He hasn't been better than Dwyer or LaRose (yes..even LaRose) or even Wallace, so I see no reason to keep him up as a bottom line player. He only got called up due to injuries to Skinner and Brent so it makes sense he goes back down. I think he can be an effective player, but needs to still improve in other areas of his game.

Charlotte needs the help, you can't send LaRose to the AHL without waivers, and Jimmy has too much invested in Chad for that.

You mean every thread on this forum?
Except for the trash Ward threads and the kiss Zach Boychuk's ass threads.

2 points (one of which was an empty net assist), -4, and a whopping 8 shots on goal in 7 games while averaging 11 minutes a game, most of it while playing with Jordan/Skinner.
I'm not sure what people see in him and never have. I think some drank a bit too much of the JR kool-aid when he penciled Dalpe onto the second line two years ago and have overhyped him to death ever since, beginning with pimping Dalpe in as a Calder contender after his record-breaking 2 points in preseason. The Boychuk Hate Club also needed a counterpoint to Boychuk's Soft/Lazy/Hooker-Murdering ways and enter Zac Dalpe, who has nearly identical flaws but is a few inches taller and CAME TO CAMP BRIND'AMOUR EARLY.
Chad LaRose sucks horribly, but Dalpe is even worse and thus does not play. The AHL is a vastly inferior league, so it's not surprising that Dalpe can score there. So could Chad. In fact his numbers at the same age were better than Saint Dalpe's.

Maybe we should all just agree to disagree about the Dalpe situation? However, we can all agree that the Jokinen situation needs to change (whether its his position in the lineup or his position as a member of this team)
Heres to hoping Pitkanen is back and the canes come out against FL like they did yesterday and we don't continue our losing streak against the SE division!

Not really, at the end of the day, 2 coaches in a row (Maurice and Muller) have both deemed he's not yet ready for full time NHL duty vs. others on the team, and that's what matters.
So we all can't have our own individual opinions? Cool.
Guess I forgot that on a forum you cannot express your own opinions and must agree with every move the coaching staff makes.

Not saying that, you are definitely free to have your opinion, I just don't agree with it and my point is at this time, the coaches (who really matter) don't appear to either.
Like that ever happens on here.

It would if that lazy slacker Muller would just get someone to off Chad.

Boychuk 2.0.
The real issue to be upset about is how we seem to get several of these type players.

Dalpe has now played 14 games under Muller, averaging 11:28 seconds a game.
His most common linemates have been Skinner (79 minutes), J.Staal (57 minutes), E. Staal (52 minutes) and Tlusty (50 minutes). Almost every game he's played has been in the top six.
He has gone pointless in 11 of 14 games with 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists) and -6 overall.
It's really difficult to argue he hasn't been given a chance. Boychuk played 4 total games under Muller before he was waived and everyone derides him as a bust. What makes Dalpe different?

Nothing, IMO. I think they both should have gotten better looks last year, and it's utterly ****ing ridiculous that we waived Boychuk after ONE game where the ENTIRE team looked like complete ****.

The minor-league development of our prospects flat out sucks.
This "Boychuk/Dalpe/Every Other Prospect Stuck In Our Graveyard Farm" lies directly at the feet of Jeff Daniels. These guys just aren't ready to produce at the NHL level when called upon.
Thankfully, neither Faulk nor Skinner spent much or any time in Charlotte.

Do you guys honestly think that the was a plan to give Wallace a roster spot or Dwyer a top six spot with Skinner / Staal?
It was Dalpe's spot to lose.... and he lost it. Dwyer has been a much better player in that spot.
You should never give high round draft picks an automatic spot on the roster. They have to earn it like everybody else.

It's alright. 3 coaches in a row have found a reason to stick LaRose in the top line and there's still *****ing about it, so I don't expect this Dalpe situation to be any different.

Are we really down to Murph, Rask, and PDG as our only prospects with real top 6 or top pairing potential in any sort of way?
