Call him up ASAP. This team needs the depth scoring he'll provide on the 3rd line more than the PKing Grant provides.
This team has ten more days to free mika before i find bryan murray and fart right in his face.
Yeah...I mean the only reason was for the Da Costa experiment that's why Zibanejad was our first call-up.
Oh wait.
lol this board is so funny when you think of it. Some nights, instead of drinking, I just decide to read HF.
Karlsson and Spezza were sent to the minors during their rookie season, not their sophomore season when they had already proven they were NHL ready (kind of like how Zib proved he was NHL ready last season).What are they doing not calling up Zibanejad right away?
I don't want the Sens to ruin his development like they did for Karlsson or Spezza! wtf?
Zibanejad didn't play well in preseason and Da Costa played better so Zibanejad got sent down. Deal with it.
Da Costa didn't play well during the season, Grant was playing well and was called up. If Zibanejad tears up the AHL he will get called up.And where is Da Costa now?
Makes a nice break from an assignment filled weekend.
What? Silf only started in the AHL because their was a lockout, and when that ended he started with the big team right away. They even brought him in in 2011 during the playoffs when his season with SEL ended.It's not that I disagree with Sens Brass on how they are developing Zib, but more feel like now would be the right time to call him up to help the team win.The point is not how many games they played in the AHL or when, but that Sens brass know a lot more than us when it comes to player development, they have the benefit of the doubt from me at least. I don't want Zibanejad to be a good player, I want him to be great player. It's up to him to find even more determination. Last year, they waited than Silfverberg was a ppg in Bingo to call him up. He could have been in the NHL right away, but maybe his development wouold have been slower and wouldn't have had enough value to return Bobby Ryan in a trade.
I realized I was too old to drink everyday now, so HF actually helps
2 goals and an assist today! #FreeMika
A player like Zibanejad who's never been a big scorer at any level can only benefit by spending some time in the AHL. It allows him to try things against lesser competition that he might be reluctant to attempt in the NHL. It's very tough to develop an offensive game in the big leagues unless you've already had success at a lower level. Zibanejad is where he should be for now.
