Recalled/Assigned: Peter Holland recalled. Nieves assigned to Hartford.
- Thread starter Irishguy42
- Start date
Besides being young has Nieves brought much to the table though? He's been really inconsistent especially in the defensive zone. He's been responsible for 3 or 4 goals on his own off the top of my head from dumb turnovers or losing his man. DD is more equipped as a 3rd line center than Boo right now. I think Boo will make it back and am happy Letteri is here to stay for now instead of Boo. Just wish Buch was in Letteri spot on tonight's line up. Sure Buch is struggling but I'm sure a worthy line mate would help
He's a young player, inconsistency is to be expected. The guy replacing him, Holland, is also inconsistent, which is why he found himself traded for a plug and then playing in the AHL at 27. Holland is hardly a defensive dynamo and if he was recalled to help stabilize that aspect of the fourth line, I think the team will be disappointed.
I have no problem with DD. I don't even have a problem with the idea of Peter Holland on this team. It just seems to me that unless the front office is planning on making some Hail Mary-type moves, this isn't our year and we should be giving opportunities to some of the younger guys rather than retreads. Particularly when the younger guy in question has done all right, all things considered.
JMO, though. I'm beginning to not care, LOL.
He's an important c(l)og in the machine...
Hopefully he plays hard instead of tiptoeing through the tulip fields...

Huh?
He very clearly has a large say in the roster. This has been confirmed multiple times
How many Hartford games do you think AV gets to see?
It's also been reported many times over the years (including yesterday) that there are discussions within the organization at both the NHL and AHL level about changes to the roster; ultimately the AHL GM and coach make recommendations about who should get the call. A coach can ask, but the GM is the one who makes the final decisions.
And speaking of GM's...When was the last time someone in the front office actually sat down for a "state of the organizatio" interview? Took questions before or after a game? Been seen about town lately?
It must be very crowded behind the Curtain.

I'd rather talk about his play. And I have to say, last night I thought he was gouda... Get it???? Because gouda is a cheese from Holl... (sigh)

Let's talk about his play then. He had a nice debut last night, making that pass to Nash look easy. Let's see if he can dig a little deeper next game and come up with a goal. Get it??? Because Holland is a tunnel that accepts EZ Pass and digs deep below... (sigh)

As long as they don't put Holland on the same line as Desharnais.
Hollandaise isn't a good name for a line and it doesn't go with pizza..Doh lol
