If they put Moore in over him, then they are clueless and I have zero hope for the team's future. He has played too well to get sent down or sit for scrubs.

No way Santini should be sent back to Albany when anybody gets healthy.
Santini has been a valuable contributor since he's been up, Coleman was just up as another body on forward.
I'm not saying it won't happen, but it really should not happen. Barring his play regressing and dropping off like Auvitu wound up doing.

Wood is an animal. Love this kid. Great finish by Zacha, too. Zajac, though. One goal in his last 25 games... playing 19+min in almost every single one. But he backchecks hard so it's alright. 
It'd be really nice if Shero could get something for Kinkaid at the trade deadline... better than losing him for nothing.

If they're that worried about getting Santini development time then send down Wood too. They're both basically in the same boat - rookies in their first pro season making a contribution to a team back in the playoff hunt.

Don't worry, won't take long until he gets another lucky assist then people will be able to act like he's a god.

"Wood had his worst game of the season and fell down more than ever. Wouldn't be surprised if he responds tonight and gets another breakaway goal."

Excellent team game by the Devils last night. Too bad we don't play the Flyers more often. And I'm with the majority that it would be a mistake to send Santini down. If that happens we have to question Shero & Hynes decision making. Also a good sign to see our kids contributing.
Don't forget Kinkaid - there were about eight minutes mid-second period, including two or three penalty kills, where goal keeping held the game for us. If he doesn't come up big there I doubt we win.
We took advantage but the hip check by Gudas on Wood that the refs called as a slew foot, and the simultaneous unsportsmanlike call on Simmons that gave us the 5 on 3 also turned the game. But hell, the refs have been murder on us, and what goes around comes around. And finally we DID take advantage.
How many 5 on 3s have we squandered this year in other games, god only knows.
Let's be honest about Zajac - he's not a #1 center caliber player, but he's a fine defensive player with some playmaking ability that is the kind of player who can help a team win (as a #2 center on a good team or a #3 center on a really good team).

Zajac has had a very good year. Everyone knows he isn't a 1C. We'll be a good team again when Zacha passes him on the depth chart.

Same old schtick. When he's an actual detriment to the team, talk to us then.
Everyone knows what Zajac is except for you and perhaps one other specific poster. If you can't grasp his role on this team at this stage, then that's on you. Stop acting like he's been a problem when we're on a 4-1-1 stretch right now and was one of our better players during the rough point of the season also.

Zacha, Wood and Santini are absolute beauties with more on the way, best I've felt about the organization since 2012.

The whole shift from Zacha was great. strong on his stick on the forecheck to keep possession, then pokes the loose puck back to JJ and of course the finish. super soft hands.
Wood couldnt be any more fun to watch. I really think hes the exact player this team needed. Yea we know he needs work but, His fearlessness and ability affect what other teams do are intangibles that you love to see from a rookie. Hes gotta be one of the fastest guys in the NHL. We just saw he has the ability to absolutely wreck a game when its all working.
The future is bright. I cant wait to get Blandisi back up here. Just like wood, when he puts it together hes a game changer. With those two guys, the speed and playmaking coming up at center, and the smarts and skill at RW, we could be a reeeaaal good team in a few years
