I actually think Bardreau looked better than Koivula in his stint. At least he was much more noticeable during the games. Perhaps Koivula brings something different but I'd like to see Bardreau back
I agree. Koivula may have a higher ceiling but Bardreau looked more polished/finished. Koivula - at least to me - looks like he just wants to get off the ice without making a mistake. Now, the way to get a younger player more confidence and to look more aggressive is to actually give him more playing time. So I'm fine with him taking the shifts now. But if you're comparing the Bardreau experiment to the Koivula one so far, I think the Bardreau one was more successful, albeit in very small sample sizes to date.
But I think Bardreau is hurt anyway so its moot at this point.

Don't we have Fritz stashed away in the AHL? I think he can be a decent plug in for the 3rd line center. Kid has wheels, plays hard and is hungry whenever I see him play. Unless he is hurt too? too lazy to look it up
The Real JT
No diving allowed
Injuries aside, I agree that Bardreau is more NHL ready at the moment.
Koivula has the higher ceiling. For me, it's worth the growing pains to see if he gains some confidence and loses the indecision that many rookies have in the beginning.
Otto is also a big boy and size matters in the NHL (and elsewhere), or so I've been told.
I thought Otto showed some good progression last game. Keeping him with Leo and a quicker wing like Brassard or Ebs should be good for his development. However...i did really like the way Cole played....think if he were healthy he would have been called up.

I will go with 5-1 win tonight with Otto getting his first goal, Eberle getting his first goal, as well, .. I like switching Brassard and Eberle if that is being done.

Bardreau seems like one of those dudes that looks like he's doing a lot more than he really is.
Whalstrom's development may come in to play, in a big way, very soon, so it's good that he is getting NHL experience.
how much is too much? looks fine so far, even good. He showed the responsibility needed for success, on his 1st shift. Kept the shift so short that it was cute, lol, but he understood what his role was, and did it effectively.

I was gonna say Peter Regin. Superb skater, looked like he was everywhere and always involved, and never did anything really lol.
