i think i'd rather see studnicka get a full season in providence - or at least a half season. frederic should be ready
for 4C duty next fall. whenever studnicka is ready they could always slide coyle to RW. as well as acciari has played,
they have so many options in the bottom 6 - seems unlikely he's back unless he takes same $ and is ok slugging it
out for a roster spot.
Yea that's my thought on Noel. He's been great, especially lately... but while he brings, energy/physicality etc, I think having a little more skill/finish wouldn't be a horrible thing and we have so many players on the cusp that I don't see them resigning him. I am sure Stud will probably start in Providence, but breaking in on the 4th line, learning from Bergy, maybe getting some PP2 time, I think would be good for him. We will see what shakes out in camp.
Pumped about Steen too... this depth we have is what makes moving Donato for Coyle so worth it.
Also, not 100% sold on T Freddy just yet. I wasn't impressed with him during his stint with the big club outside the fight.
