Keep Mete in the AHL, what's wrong with these people. Way to screw up with his head, why do we always do this?
Recalled/Assigned: Mete recalled, Juulsen assigned to Laval

I'm looking forward to having Mete back in the lineup. I think his brief stint in the AHL will have been good for him and a reflection on what he needs to do to become a top-4 guy in the NH - the start of the year really wasn't cutting it. Juulsen was far below his usual standard of play.

He needed to stay there and work on his game, he was barely surviving at the NHL level and the same can be said for Juulsen, I can't help but think of @WeThreeKings after this move.

I dont mind sending Juulsen down, but Mete cant be called up. I just dont get this decision.

One of these moves is the right (Juulsen), the other just seems like more of the same rushing and yo yoing thats served us so well in the past.
But, f*** it. Development doesnt even exist so who cares, right ?

Same here.
I haven't been impressed with Juulsen so far, but Mete needs to stay down. Play them together, I don't care, but both should be playing in Laval.

Yet he's still our 4th best blueliner. Tell me who's better than Juulsen? Benn, Schlemballs or Reilly? Lol. Mete is not ready, I doubt he ever will be.

That's correct. But half of this board has him already penciled in our top-4 (despite erratic play with #6 minutes), so the narrative is disrupted. Unfortunately, we tend to suffer from selective blindness when it comes to young players.

Both Schlemko and Benn would struggle to make the KHL. Benn would probably be "waived" by any KHL team after 10 games or so. To me it's a mystery why this guy is still playing in the NHL.

Yup. Mete should stay down. He was barely keeping his head above the water as a #6 in Montreal. They said they wanted him to work on his game. 8 games and his ready all of the sudden?

Because I feel Juulsen is 2x the player Mete is, and makes much better plays under pressure. I've never understood the Mete hype. Small and quick isn't a rare attribute for an NHL blueliner. His shot isn't great, it is not accurate at all. He turns over the puck in the defensive zone, because he is easily separated from it.
If you want to develop Mete, keep him in Laval, what on earth is he doing up here?

Well wonder why both Mete and Juulsen busted in a few years.... sending Juulsen down is fine.... but leave mete down too ffs.

Everyone in this thread is advocating for Mete to have remained in the AHL.
Who is saying that Mete should be rushed to the NHL and that it won't ruin him?

I think that the poster is actually saying that some people think that players like Mete can develop by surviving at the NHL level instead of staying in the AHL where he belongs.

Then why is he saying "that has taken ahold of this board when everything was going well needs to die down."
He put that in the present tense but now I realize he was referring to a past situation (ie "when everything was going well"), so it threw me off.
When was "everything going well"? He must have meant October then.
But, right now, I think we can agree that there isn't anyone or almost no one advocating for Mete to have been called up at this juncture.

Both Juulsen and Mete should be in the AHL. I agree, a move should be made so that Mete stays down longer.

keep arguing we should not tank and fire clode julien , bergevin and bordeline Timmins.
Another move from the 2 old-fashioned washed up coach/gm (as a player view).
Send Mete and Juulsen AHL and bounce back them like they are a tennis ball.
This is how u destroy prospects .
Mete has no goals in like 70 games in the nhl , can barely shoot , cant play in his own zone. Trying to hard to find Weber a new replacement that wont happen until we draft players. By the way , Weber been absolute garbage against Minnesota , Boston and San Jose. He sure shines when we play garbage teams. I dont care what people say. Hes been atrocious defensively when we need him.
Keep Mete or Juulsen both of them AHL or NHL and make them play somewhere and stop bouncing them for 0 reasons.
Sell high at the deadline and do this once for all correctly. Im so tired to see the same bullshit. Our team is so bad , our drafting system is awful. 6 years under Bergevin and almost 7 , yet he never drafted a guy whos playing on our 1st line , 1st pair of D or a NHL goalie.
Literally no top prospects , im not counting Sergachev because they traded him before he was NHL. Also 2 soon for Kotkaniemi but they will find a way to destroy him.
Cant wait to see Mete and Webeurre getting completely outplayed by Rantanen line in 30 hours. This team lacks more than LHD.
