With only 4 call-ups between now and the end of the season why rush and call anyone up now?
They're better off finishing the year with Grand Rapids than playing on a team that is not motivated to win games anymore. If you're going to tank, you definitely don't want to do it with your prospects on the roster.
Grooming them in a losing culture doesn't make any sense
If you switch Abby with helm centering the third line I can see it happening. But helm on the 2nd line made me puke in my mouth a little.
It's more what I want to see than what I expect to see. I want Larkin getting those reps at center, especially since our season is essentially playing for pride and experience at this point.
And, yeah, I know what you mean about Helm on the second line. If we had Svech up, I'd have him there, Helm in Gator's spot, and Gator on the fourth line.

2. This isn't grooming. This is seeing what we've got. Time to find out exactly what we have in our kids. Early this time.
Put Larkin to center to learn finally that duty.
We have nothing to lose.
Has Blash ran AA-Larkin-Mantha much? Seems like it could be a future line of ours, myswell get r goin'
I know Larkin ha struggled at center but I noticed he was one of our best face off men there for a short stint...I don't have the stats off hand of course. Larkin should be playing center to end the year
