Raging Bull Squatch
Spent some time in the Sharks forum today. Several posters said they have been happy/impressed with how Balcers has played. Perfunctory note - yes, he's only played 7 games so far.
Honestly at this point those miserable sons of guns probably deserve him. Ive gone from hating them and wanting to gloat, to just feeling straight up sorry for them.
You can add up Karlsson and Balcers points this year and still come up short of Chris Tierney's production... never mind that German kid..
We really dont need Balcers, not like SJ and their abysmal prospect pool does. If anything he was just another road block for the other kids like Brown, Formenton and Abramov to deal with. Id much prefer we focus on massaging those players into the lineup.
Even if Balcers is a bit ahead of all of them at the moment development wise, his potential is a notch lower than all of them. Even Abramov imo - who is more willing to battle in the hard areas, and more gifted offensively.
And I never mind seeing a kid get a chance somewhere else if he's claimed on waivers. Feeling unwanted and like a cast out is not something anyone deserves.
