2 of the assists were in the first callup.Just because your history with drugs has dented your ability to retain memory doesn't mean he was invisible.
Three assists in 10 games and stood up for teammate. Not nothing.
Didn't McKeown kind of have a pretty strong season in Charlotte this past year and take a pretty positive step, after struggling his 1st year? He may still end up being a career AHLr, but I thought what I had read was he had a very strong season, or am I mistaken?
He had a decent season in Charlotte, but we’re talking about a scenario where he goes directly into a top-6 spot in the NHL. That seems like a pretty large leap for a guy who still seems like an AHL’er to me at this point.
Reminds me of when Bobby Sanguinetti had a nice little season in Charlotte, so we gave him a roster spot the following season and destroyed him.
Oh I'm not arguing that McKeown is ready for the NHL, I was just commenting that I thought he HAD taken a significant step forward in his play from year 1 to year 2 in the AHL.
I don't watch the Checkers much so can't say what he does or does not look like and was only referencing what I read about him.
Yep, and if he doesn't have to clear waivers it's far better to have him getting ice time in Charlotte then riding the pine in the NHL at this point still.I think he most likely does start in Charlotte. As it stands right now, they have 4 NHL level RHD on the roster. Even if Faulk gets moved, there are 3.
Is de Haan really hurt? That would be a kick in the ding dong. I guess I've been kicked in the ding dong enough times by the canes to know better
Oh yeah- duh. Thank you, my badI assume he's on IR because of the shoulder surgery last year.
McKeown almost made the team out of camp last year didn’t he? Or was that the year before....I’m getting old.
Either way he’s been on the radar for awhile now and has looked good when he’s gotten the chance. It wouldn’t be that shocking for him to be in the mix to stay up with us.
