I'll be deep in your arsh all right.

young guys like kessel needs development time in ahl

Forwards take longer

Forwards take longer

Especially power forwards.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I don’t think Bains draws in unless there’s an injury / bad loss and performance. Still, great for him to get a call up.

Bains started the season brilliantly but I haven’t loved his game the last month or two.

Made himself effective last year and got everyone’s attention by working his ass off and skating miles and being a bit of an agitator but haven’t seen much of that at all recently … some skill player bad habits have crept into his game. Hasn’t been ‘bad’ or anything but I don’t think he’s necessarily doing the things he needs to recently.

Glad to hear this. Hasn't been a lot of opportunities up front this year for players to step in. Good to be healthy but also good to get a look and see if Bains Pod and Raty can help us if needed.

Crafty smart playmaker who makes a lot of subtle plays that keep the puck moving the right direction. Hope he slots in with miller and Boeser for a couple games at least to give him a real chance to showcase himself

Team is pretty stacked this year up front even with Joshua out. Tough to get Bains in but that’s a good thing.

Tocchet really likes Aman and I honestly like having PDG in the Line up.

I wonder if he goes back to that type of player knowing the NHL is within his reach. Could be some added motivation to show what he’s got and make an impression.

Get him in next game, Third line winger

What about team MVP and Russian superhero Ilya Mikheyev?

onto the 4th lol
give bains a shot

 

[VanJack]

Can't see any downside in sitting out Di Giuseppe in and getting Bains into an NHL game. It's a Saturday HNIC game.....what a night to make your NHL debut.

But if it's not tomorrow night, I really they give Bains a game or two before he make his inevitable return to Abbotsford.

Coming off a pretty good showing showing in the All Star game and overall, despite some fall off after his injury, has developed well this year.

Question that I see that needs answering (if he gets into the lineup) is whether he can keep up skating wise.

I get the impression Tocchet was not overly impressed with Woo.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

by my count, if bains plays he’d be our third punjabi guy right? after robin bawa and i think prab rai got a game or two?

and we’ve had japanese guys, kariya and hirose, and we’ve had richard park, who’s korean. and a handful of first nations and métis players.

but two things i don’t think we’ve seen yet are an Indigenous player from BC, let alone someone from the host nations, or a chinese player. will be nice to see those someday… play woo you cowards.

 

[Sombastate]

There's a giant argument in my dynasty league discord about him. I hope he completely wrecks shit. I love Bains.

 

[Siludin]

hang around team, cash check - not bad

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Play him with JT and Brock

Bawa did, Rai did not.

What gives you that impression with Woo?

He wasn’t going to dress unless someone else got hurt / had a bad showing, which is the same situation Bains will be in, IMO. But they get to skate with the big club, get a way bigger paycheque, and soak up some experience for a few days.

I suspect they mostly call up some of these guys to give them time with the coaches to reinforce what they need to take the next step.

 

[PavelBure10]

About time, always thought Bains deserved a callup. He's been outstanding the past two seasons in the AHL, the mvp of the allstar game deserves a look. Happy Bains finally gets a chance and hoping he sees some action. Could be Laffertys replacement since we probably won't be able to afford him next season.

 

[Hit the post]

giving these guys an nhl paycheck now is a nice move.

Advantage of having farm club within not a long driving distance (giving a reward of sorts for players doing well on the farm without upsetting their development even if they just sit these games out.

i heard bains and kuzmenko didn't get along so it makes sense they waited until after trade to give him a chance
