not a lot of giveaways in games certainly doesn't point to "Scrub who needs to go back to the AHL" to me.
Now that you mention it, the giveaways were occurring more often.

DeAngelo's problem is that he plays like Keith Yandle, but he doesn't have Yandle's tenure in the league and he's waiver-exempt. So he can get demoted for what everyone always called "the price of having Yandle's offense on the team."
I think most posters on forum 40 can make an educated, informed analysis of whether someone is playing "well" or not, yeah.
Perhaps not as well as actual NHL coaches, etc, but 7 points in 11 games and not a lot of giveaways in games certainly doesn't point to "Scrub who needs to go back to the AHL" to me.
I can't say for certain exactly (if there is an exactly) why he was sent down, but am certain he can work on his game. If he can improve D and reduce turnovers, the team will be better for it long term. Short term however, the pp will suffer.
Looks like Perlini is taking Duclair's spot.
Chychrun is back in a Connauton out.
According to Morgan that's why he went down - Dauphin went down, ironically enough, to work on his offensive game, which I'm sure was suffering because, well, I dunno, he was playing on a checking line.

Murphy is the one I would sit.
And you know that? That's the problem on these boards, everyone thinks their a coach.
Now if we can just move Doan out and insert Duke
If that were true we wouldn't be having this discussion would we. The truth be told, most can't make a educated, informed analysis on players most of the time. Look at your analysis for example. You talk about points and giveaways which were not the problem. It was his play without the puck which we as fans hardly ever notice or watch or know what the hell to look for or expect anyways. DeAngelo has too much talent, he will be back very soon.
Watch the guy.
He's makes fewer defensive mistakes than Yandle used to, while currently scoring at a similar pace, as Yandle usually did.
I love the way DeAngelo plays the game, maybe even more than Chychrun, but these references to "scoring pace" over a career that has spanned all of 11 games are a bit hyperbolic.
Sending DeAngelo isn't going to make the team better. But I thought the consensus around here wasn't about having the team win this season, instead it's about development.
DeAngelo being a very good OFD is great, but it would be better if he could develop more of a two way game. Be more like Letang than Yandle.
That just proves you can be as nutty as anyone else
Murph's defensive game is often a joy to watch, when you consider what he's up against and his age, it's all the more impressive. Does he have gaffs? Sometimes.
