Is the wall after 30 games or 60 games. Because if the rookie wall is my biggest concern then I am more inclined to see the 9 game tryout. If he's contributing and growing at 9 games then I will absolutely take the NHL development path. I think tonight was up and down but I still have Poitras earning the tryout and a shot so far.I think they're pretty set on their top 6. If Poitras makes it, gotta figure he centers the third with Freddy and Geekie. Is that what's best for his development? He looks great now but these young kids always hit a wall in there first pro season because they're not conditioned for the schedule. I'd love to see him make the team but I'm not sure we'll agree in January when he's gassed watching from the pressbox unable to be sent down.
Where are you coming up with the other $6M+ to make that work?I am so puzzled by the Pinto conversations.
What does he solve? Why do we need another 2/3C when we have 2 of those already.
Give me Hertl to make Pasta happy long term. Send them Lysell + Lohrei + Freddy + $$ to make it work....
Zacha - Hertl - Pasta
Marchand - Coyle - Debrusk
JVR - PAWTWAAA - Geekie
Looch - Boquist - Brown/Greer
That’s Evan golds jobWhere are you coming up with the other $6M+ to make that work?
And how does that work with the cap with no money moving out ?I am so puzzled by the Pinto conversations.

Poitras might already be our best face-off guy tbh.I like this maybe sub Poitras for Merkulov to give him more time to develop some size and strength and his face off game.
And how does that work with the cap with no money moving out ?
Hope they dont send poitras down he has done what was asked and more.Poitras is going back down. Of all the prospects Lorhei looks the most ready and we really don't have the room on defense. Sign Heinen, wait for injuries and give the kids a chance to shine then.
You forget that has been tried and there are no buyers.......It'd seem there's $6M+ on the LD side of things that people here don't seem to want anymore.

I am not against that , gives everyone an idea what needs to be addressed , I just not sure long term he is ready and I am not talking skill level he is a player no doubt . I also want Beecher to get a legit shot , lets find out what he has , its time ,am I wrong ?I want him here for at least the first 9, if nothing else but to give him a taste of the big leagues and so he’ll get a better understanding of what he has to work on.

Merkulov has been a no show so far. Poitras is winning faceoffs. No reason to put a perimeter player like Markulov on this team over PoitrasI like this maybe sub Poitras for Merkulov to give him more time to develop some size and strength and his face off game.

Heinen I can understand but brown no way he was invisible .If Poitras and Beecher goes down, but they keep Heinen and Brown in the line up, they should just not hold development camp ever again since even If the kids perform better they have no shot over the veterans .
