He's actually Tied for 1st in AHL scoring having played 2 games less than the other 2 players he's tied with.
I agree with the philosophy of when he gets called up , its to stay up.
I personally want Batherson to be in the top 9.
Current roster
Tkachuk LB Duclair
Paul Pageau CB
Namestnikov Tierney White
Chlapik Beaudin Ennis
Anisimov, Boedker
We have to make a
spot in the top 9 RW
One option is to Move Chlapik down, Move Duclair back to LW, move Paul down the lineup and Bring Batherson up.
I don't expect them to move White to the 4th line but Smith has already played him behind the other RWs in icetime
IMO they should wait until they move some bodies out. Chlapik has been doing a good job there and if Ennis becomes the 4th line RW ... DJ will have to change the way he distributes icetime.
I would also like to see Belleville climb the standings, make the playoffs and have a run.
I would like to get a fast skating offensive center to play between Namestnikov and Duclair. Drafting Byfield or another top center would be great.
Playing L Brown with Paul and Batherson is something I would like to see in the NHL due to the success they had in the AHL last season.
Tkachuk with Pageau and C Brown might be a decent trio as well.
That would leave Tierney with White and one of: Chlapik, Ennis, Beaudin, etc. I am disappointed with White so far this season. Hopefully he starts producing.
