Carle playing is probably a bit of a showcase - I hope. All the players Kucherov, Namestnikov, on and on ... have been in and out of the lineup until they find their consistency. Koekkoek is 21 and turning 22 in a couple of days. Plenty of time to play Koekkoek. He'll get his shot. Focus should be on balancing three things. Deferring Koekkoek's CAP hit as much as possible. Showcasing Carle to get rid of him. And thirdly, winning enough games to make the playoffs.
They will get rid of Carle at the deadline. I say package him with Drouin and get the best deal you can. We need to shed some salary. Possible we are re-signing Stamkos and Kucherov to expensive deals.
