What happened to Mike McCarron? After a very promising 1st AHL season he totally regressed because of the AHL coaches namely Sylvain Lefebvre. So many young players regressed under that group of idiot coaches.

I'll never understand the "he wanted Glass and got lucky with Suzuki". If he still valued Suzuki enough to make the trade, that's all that matters. It would be like saying Tampa deserves zero credit for drafting Kucherov since they took Namestnikov before and Koekkoek over Vasi.
Granted MB still sucked and I'm so relieved he's gone, but he definitely deserves the credit for that trade.

Not to mention as soon as he was going, Montreal would call him up. And Therrien was a coach who would bench you if you made mistakes. So McCarron was not developed properly.
Exactly. Maybe he asked for Glass first and was told no and offered Suzuki instead. He still made the deal. If he was dead set on Glass, then he would have turned down Suzuki.
And by the way, at the time of the trade, Glass was putting up similar numbers in the WHL that Suzuki was putting up in the OHL. He wasn't asking for injury-prone Glass, but full-of-promise, 6th OA Glass.

It's whole lot better than what this team's been for 3 decades.That's your standard, somewhat competitive?

McCarron should’ve spent 4-years in college developing like Struble etc, instead of junior route, fewer GP but more practice time - he was simply too raw and the game changed dramatically 2-years post draft.
Had he remained in college & worked on his skating / edges he’d have been more prepared - he needed time to mature, align big body w skating & game of hockey
I find it makes the choice of even watching at all an easy one to make

Well then if there’s no Slaf (confirmed?) not sure what to focus on… Might need am extra puff for this one to be fun.
Hopefully there’s some weird unexpected event like happens all the time in hockey.

I want another cup before I pass, 64 now so within the next 2 decades. I will take 5 yrs of tank if that is what it takes.
Gotta hold the expectations to a minimum.
Ghule and Xhekaj to play well on D.
First line to continue scoring (multiple) goals.
Roy and Newhook to have an impact.
Get these and I'm happy.
Oh and that we've seen Suzuki's last giveaway on the PP.
