How can he do that when they have him playing center. He's still trying to become a puck carrier lololHe should try to play like a power forward
Crash the net when he has the puck
He should be hard to contain because of his reach and size
McCarron is a bottom liner, let's be clear about that. But he has potential to be a very unique and rare bottom liner in todays NHL.
It might be an opinion, but what exactly about McCarrons skillset or past production tells you he's anything more than a bottom liner? He has a chance to be more than that, just like I have a chance to win the lottery, but the guy's a bottom liner pretty much every way you slice it.You're welcome to be clear about an opinion you have. Thanks for sharing. McCarron is better than a bottom liner, let's be clear about that.

He's great when used at the front of the net on the PP, one of his best assets imo. Think it's going to take several years for him to figure things out but still expect him to be a solid 4th liner for us.

that very much remains to be seen just yet. If he wants to be even a 3rd liner, he's going to have to produce. So far he's got 7 pts 55 games which over 82 works out to be 11 pts. DLR is in a similar situation, if he's ever going to be anything more then a 4th liner he's going to need to produce and right now he's only got 7 pts in 70 games which over 82 is 8 pts.
These guys bring size for sure, among other things but neither has shown much in the way of offense. I think McCarron can bring so much more then stats in that he's going to give fits to goalies/defensemen with his play around the crease especially on the PP. If he can get those garbage goals, tips/deflections and starts putting up even somewhat decent numbers he should move up to the 3rd line. But he's still 22 and a large body so it's going to take time.
How would we know whether or not it's there...What happened to his offensive talent? Like, absolutely none of it is there.
In todays NHL you need to think and move quickly if you're going to produce. McCarron might be able to do that in the CHL or even AHL, but I don't see him being able to do it in the NHL.What happened to his offensive talent? Like, absolutely none of it is there.

They should try him instead of Shaw in front of the net on the first PP wave and put shaw on the second wave.
I think Mac brings way more to this team than DLR. Time to cut our losses it’s DLR.
