Player Discussion: Josh Ho-Sang Pt II

[doublechili]

Bailey, Eberle, Komarov at top 9 RW and the team is doing well.

JHS is not needed right now. Remember what Lou always says about having time and using it. Let JHS continue having success in the AHL. If he does, he'll get his chance sooner rather than later.

I suspect we lose Eberle so it would be nice to keep him in the cupboard - I doubt his trade value is equivalent to his actual talent level

Not that I am advocating changing what is working, but Komarov is a left hand shot, and has played well at all three forward positions (and I saw him play competent defence in a game in Finland).

There are other things keeping JHS down, but "three good RW" doesn't have to be one.

I think MDC may get first shot to crack top 9 first here especially with Ladd out. Trotz and Lou seem to really believe in roles and certain guys playing same position.

Yeah, and depending on how the next few months go Lou could even trade Eberle at the deadline and put JHS in his spot.

Josh not doing much on the score sheet lately. Does anybody have some insight on this? I don’t have a chance to see the Bridgeport games. Thanks.

JHS has the worst +/- on the team and over half of his points are on the PP.

JHS has the worst +/- on the team and over half of his points are on the PP.

He's only scored an even strength point in 5 games this season, which means he's been held pointless at even strength in over 75% of his games so far. Haven't watched BST this season, but his lack of even strength production is concerning.

Sounds like Barzal, except nobody on the isles scores on the power play.

 

[Lame Lambert]

It’s happening!

 

[doublechili]

It’s happening!

Wow! Gibson returned!!

 

[seafoam]

Yo! Sang

 

[doublechili]

It’s happening!

Hopefully he succeeds and makes Eberle redundant allowing Lou to deal him for something we can use before losing him for nothing next summer.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Who’s sitting for JHS?

 

[Macch]

He’s baaaaaack

 

[Islesfan22]

I just hope they give him a shot and play him. Don’t jurk him around like they did with Dal Colle.

 

[Newsworthy]

Does he still wear 66?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Does he still wear 66?

Nope

he is #26 now

 

[The Underboss]

Who’s sitting for JHS?

That was the same question I asked myself.

Any time someone cites +/- like it means anything God kill a kitten. And I've never really understood why it matters if a guy scores on the PP vs even strength. If a guy is constantly on the score sheet why does it matter? A goal scored on the PP is worth the exact same amount as one scored at even strength.

 

[Islesfan22]

Looks like he’s up just to be a roster filler like Dal Colle. Don’t get this move at all.

It’s a good thing our PP is f***ing horrendous

 

[sabremike]

It’s a good thing our PP is ****ing horrendous

Which needless to point out is why giving a guy who is producing on the PP in the AHL a shot with the varsity is a good idea.

Love Lou. He brought immediate credibility. Made som great hires for the coaching staff. But he is very old school. He will build from the back out. Rookies will sit for vets. Etc. Take the good with the bad I guess.

The gigantic problem is that this is the exact opposite of the direction the league is headed which is younger and faster. Old and slow is the way you lose lots of games in today's NHL.
