Recalled/Assigned: Gerald Mayhew

Do any kids deserve a shot at playing on the first line with their recent play?

I would say that Hartman deserves a shot with Koivu-Zucker long before Parise does. Moving Zucker to RW to accomodate Parise seems like a terrible idea as well.

Agreed, no doubt there. Hartman is one of the few guys playing well.

God forbid that Asst GM Parise doesn't get his way, he was probably on his bat phone directly to Leiopold crying .....total primmadonna

I wish Leiopold had enough guts to ship Parise and Suter out of town .... Koivu gone after this season.

NEVER going to win anything with those guys in locker room

Suter needs to be left out of all the "Parise and Suter" stuff. They're two different people. Suter shows up and does his job. And he does better than everyone else on the team.

 

[AKL]

It’s weird cause Boudreau says playing time should be a reward for on ice performance, but then he puts Parise with Koivu-Zucker to try to get him going. Parise has done nothing to deserve ice time this season.

I’d scratch him and play Mayhew on that line just to send the message.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Bahahahahaha, my head hurts from that lineup.

 

[57special]

Well, there is such a thing as body of work. Parise has it. Fiala, does not. I would be curious to know whether Parise is healthy. Every time in the past that he has not been playing well, we usually find out later it's due to health. He has never been a guy i associate with sub par effort. He is a guy i associate with sub par health, which limits his on ice effectiveness.

Also, how did Suter worm his way into this? He is playing reasonably well, and his skating looks much better than last year. His defending is now better, and up to his old standard, or near to it, anyway.

Convenient isn't it.

Oh REALLY ?????

Body of work ??????

Go ask Bowman how that's working out with Seabrook in Chicago or Edmonton with Lucic.

Maybe BG should trade for Seabrook because, as we all know, Seabrook has 3 RINGS an impecable body of work ........ Parise, Koivu and Suter have how many rings combined ????? None of those 3 should be included in the term body of work.

Nobody should get a free ride but Leiopold wants to cater to the so called "Leaders" and he'll get what he deserves. Spurgeon contract just adds on to the debacle.

Sad part is Bruce will probably be fired by early November and take the blame for everything.

Wow talk about a hot take.

I’m not against taking playing time away from the vets, especially since it’s looking like a lottery season anyways, but I wonder if they haven’t already gotten the message and just can’t perform because they’re old and not very good anymore.

I doubt that any of them are dogging it. If anything they have more reason to hit the ground running this season: most of them have more or less committed to playing out the rest of their careers in Minnesota, so it's not like their chances are going to get better from here on out.

 

[thestonedkoala]

All coaches say that and do the opposite. I remember when Koivu and Suter played like dogs and they still got top line minutes.

 

[57special]

There is a difference between trying, and trying like your life depends on it. I think BB wants some of the latter, though effort like that is hard to sustain for a long period.

Anyway, back to Mayhew. Odds that he is the next Fontaine?

 

[StanleyCup55]

Love the move. Excited to see his debut tonight. His AHL stats have been tremendous

 

[DeagleJenkins]

he is a shooter so that is a plus. I hope that 4th line gets a good amount of minutes so he can show us what he has.

I think he get's put on Staal's wing. But to be fair Staal has been playing like he should be on the 4th line.

I think I saw yesterday it was mayhew - rask/donato -greenway. obviously that can change but I have no issue really where he lines up as we don't have a top line... mostly just 4 third lines right now.

I'm just going from BB's history with callups. He does try to put them in the best position for them to have success.

Based on the fact that this bloke is a shooter i sure as hell hope he get’s a legit chance at actually shooting.

 

[nt3005]

Since the Powerplay strategy has pretty much been fire at will. Might as well put him out there and let him shoot.

No, the PP strategy has been get the puck to Dumba or Hunt and let them fire away. Koivu seems to be the only FWD taking any shots on the PP.

NHL forwards aren't allowed to shoot. Its part of the "new" game ops. Therefor Mayhew being an AHLer he can.

I'm still waiting for the 4 d-men + Koivu (who could be a d-man) PP.

I don't know if Mayhew will get PP time, but he should get a lot of o-zone starts 5v5.
