He's played 1 game in the last 7 months because of a serious injury. And he wasn't NHL caliber before the injury.Why not?
Who else can be called up to play center?He's played 1 game in the last 7 months because of a serious injury. And he wasn't NHL caliber before the injury.

Coming from the guy who wanted to argue that Greenway was a center... Kunin can and does play all three forward spotsKunin isn't a center
Coyle is better center than both Greenway and JEE but he still played wing cause he’s at his best there.Just call up the FWD playing the best in Iowa. Coyle is a better center than any of the options down there anyways.

I’d take Rau in a heartbeat. Love the kid’s compete level. Matt Read is probably first callup.The best center in the AHL might be Cal O'Reilly. I'll take Kloos or Rau on the wings and Coyle as the center over O'Reilly.
If Liambas is the call-up then it's a 100% GMPF move.
I hate that term so much. It's a pointless term to even exist because competitiveness already covers it.I’d take Rau in a heartbeat. Love the kid’s compete level. Matt Read is probably first callup.

Coaches like Yeo started using it because they didn't have a clear understanding of the English language or something... then their repetitive use of it in interviews started to ingrain it in others.
That said, I also love how competitive Rau is.
Why do any synonyms exist? Why isn’t there just one phrase for one thing? People are so boringI hate that term so much. It's a pointless term to even exist because competitiveness already covers it.

I want to pump the brakes on Kunin, make sure he is totally healed, and have him develop his game a bit. I didn't see much in him when he played last year, but he is basically our only prospect who has top 6 potential. Let's not use him as an injury plug in....gotta be more mindful of his future than that.Coming from the guy who wanted to argue that Greenway was a center...

Eriksson Ek and Greenway haven't shown much either and Kunin has to start somewhere. The only point I agree on is not to rush him to the NHL after his injury.I want to pump the brakes on Kunin, make sure he is totally healed, and have him develop his game a bit.

I have no problem with synonyms in general, but this phrase came literally out of nowhere 6-7 years ago or so... that and "battle level".... when used, my mind takes it about as well as fingernails to a chalkboard.Why do any synonyms exist?

Your post is just cringe worthy. Who cares? People know what I mean when I say "compete level." If you don't like you have two options: 1) get over it 2) ignore it.I have no problem with synonyms in general, but this phrase came literally out of nowhere 6-7 years ago or so... that and "battle level".... when used, my mind takes it about as well as fingernails to a chalkboard.
If you think going around and saying your "happy level" like @BagHead mentioned or "sad level" or "observe level" or "humble level" sounds good in any way in any conversation... then I just don't know.
To me, that comes across as someone just has a limited vocabulary to work with, so they're fumbling to express themselves.
Don't get me wrong here... I'm not targeting you or anyone in this, I'm just saying how much my mind grates on the term and why.Your post is just cringe worthy. Who cares? People know what I mean when I say "compete level." If you don't like you have two options: 1) get over it 2) ignore it.
I just think it's dumb that it bothers you that much. It's just a term Yeo coined. No reason to be mad about it.Don't get me wrong here... I'm not targeting you or anyone in this, I'm just saying how much my mind grates on the term and why.
I don't mean to tick anyone off, just pointing out that I'm not a fan of the evolution of that phrase, nothing more.
Just a random conversational note that I blame on NHL coaches from several years back.
You often don't have much of a choice in what does and doesn't bother you in your own mind when your mind takes something in a fingernail to chalkboard fashion.I just think it's dumb that it bothers you that much. It's just a term Yeo coined. No reason to be mad about it.
