Confirmed with Link: Batherson activation

[AchtzehnBaby]

More like the asspiece. Nothing but garbage from Brucie most of the time.

It’s too bad the media doesn’t hire some of the top notch critics from here. They know what is what all the time.

If there was a bigger market there would be more reporters on the Sens beat.

Imagine the emails and tweets these guys get from the haters daily. Toxic.

It is part of the job I guess.

Anyhow. Batherson was a quick call up. He could even be a healthy scratch. As long as he keeps tearing up the AHL, I am more than satisfied knowing he is getting better and big minutes down there.

 

[Runback]

Pretty solid looking fourth round pick.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

He deserves the call up. Let’s see what he can do

Pretty solid looking fourth round pick.

This is what Ottawa needs a few more of these guys who were drafted later becoming real good players for them. As long as Duclair & C. Brown are on this team Batherson slides onto the 3rd line behind on the right side.

With Bath up:

Connor Brown belongs on the third line, he will be more effective and faster and likely more productive playing his natural role. As a shutdown guy with offensive instincts or a guy that beats the other team's 3rd line.

Batherson should play top 6 to prove where he should play the rest of the season. He has the opportunity to play meaningful playoff games in BSens, winning is not the priority but proper development is. But if he is up, then he should be given the opportunity to play his natural role.

Ain't gonna happen until DJ's pets are gone.

Garrioch quotes.

We all know the deal.

Whatever, gotta get the message out somehow if you can't afford to officially hire pr peeps right

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Same as Balcers, one of the hottest players in the AHL is gonna come up, play 8 minutes and then when he has cooled off, he will be sent back down and expected to contribute as he was before the callup. If you are getting bring up these guys, you gotta play them. I get the "earning their ice time" argument, isn't that why they are being called up?

C'mon DJ, play these guys!

As much as I dislike his handling of some of the player personnel, I have a hard time blaming him. He's coaching for his future in the NHL and not just the Senators. I think its a tough go getting any coach to follow the GM's wishes through a rebuild.

DJ's job is to maximize whatever he was given in a budget driven roster. I think he is doing better than most thought.

Dorion's job is to ensure he trades and acquires assets to finish the rebuild (while making the team poorer in the standings).

When the defence is healthy, DJ's team will make it close in most games, winning some at home. PDsure needs to make this team's focus less on standings and more on player development. Via trades the roster can be weakened enough to assure a higher draft pick while giving prospects some quality NHL games before AHL post season begins.

He better play, because Belleville is also playing tonight and he could be playing there if he isn't here.

I don't disagree.

I worry that there won't be a drop off after deadline shedding and that we'll actually improve.

Balcers played 13:02

Just Yesterday, Did Dorion not say that they want to keep Batherson in Belleville and call him up to stay when he's ready.

So 1 more game did it huh?

It’s an injury call up, this is not his promotion. However if he blows up maybe he stays.

 

[LeProspector]

Top-6 player is injured, so Batherson comes up.
Rewards the kid for destroying down in Belleville.

 

[bert]

Here is how this thread will play out:

Group A-

"Finally they are rewarding prospects who deserve to be here. The kids are alright!"

Group B-

"Why are they rushing these guys, are they desperate for wins? This is a tank season! "

Group A (after one game):

"Send him down he is not ready "

Group B (after one game):

"It is only one game, he needs time, good for the tank though!"

So group B actually knows what they are talking about.

Yup. The guy has no clue, no plan no idea.

 

[h2]

He should be in the AHL working on consistency. This is a tank year. Ottawa loves rushing prospects.

 

[bert]

Pretty solid looking fourth round pick.

Umm mid round picks are worthless. Ive been told by many posters.

 

[Sweatred]

Really ? Any proof of that ?

 

[mianjo]

Batherson will only play if Duclair does not, and that will be a game time decision, if they made it right now Batherson could make it back to Belleville by the end of the first period

 

[TheDebater]

So group B actually knows what they are talking about.

Technically some A's are B's and some B's are A's also.

Yeesh, I sound like one of those syllogism tests I once took for my ATS application.

This.

Proud member of Group B.

I don't care if a few players lose confidence because we suck. Getting Lafreniere is worth it.

I really hope Batherson is able to take another step in his game next year. He's young and is full of potential, but still doesn't look totally comfortable in the NHL right now. Nice to see him getting decent ice time though.

It’s funny, he’s at that stage of showing flashes, but some GMs he’s pretty much invisible. It’s hard to judge the kids on a team that lacks so much talent, especially when we’re playing the top teams.

A solid summer and camp should see him as a regular next year with lots of leash to grow.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Best game he played in a while I thought. He was a winning battles all over the ice.
