Part 5 already! Looks like he's starting to get some love from other fanbases in the trade forum...leave him alone, he's not going anywhere!
Mike McCarron?!
SAme here but rather see him get good ice time in the AHL over being brought up and playing on the 4th line.
Well he'd probably play with Galchenyuk if he were brought up.
If Montreal calls up anyone, it should be Holloway. He's solid defensively and wouldn't fall into Therrien,s doghouse right off the bat. Plus, he can provide some Offense as well.
Knowing our coaching staff he would start on L4 while one of DSP, Flynn or Mitchell would play beside Chucky
Our coaching staff are in on with the players with a 14-3-2 record.....if that's where they want him that's fine by me.....plus the Mitchell line is averaging over 10min of ice time per game so I'm fine by that.....nothing wrong with McCarron earning that ice time instead of it being given to him...

McCarron is a centre and they aren't going to call him up to play on the wing.
I think a year in the AHL will be good for him and he should be ready to make the jump fulltime next season.

If McCarron is to be playing center in the NHL, and start as one, he's gonna have to wait more then a year to do so. I don't see the team getting rid of Plekanec, Galchenyuk or Desharnais just to accomodate him. And moving any of them to the wing is counterproductive at this point.
Aside from the fact that he'd likely be better served playing top minutes in the AHL than 4th line time in the NHL, especially for an extended period of time.
I want McCarron with chucky asap,they need each other.

We could see him during the season for a couple of games if there is some injuries. But, I would bet on the playoffs.
With Gallagher out, do we see McCarron? I know we have Holloway for now but I'd be really disappointed if we didn't try a bunch of options and I'm pretty sure Holloway would have to pass through waivers if he plays X amount of games. Andrighetto has been pretty solid as well but we may as well try a few different options and who knows, maybe something will click.
