I've always said that I thought Nick Paul would be a excellent 4th line centre in Ottawa since he has been a very good defensive forward & faceoff guy in junior. It was a little surprising to see him playing on the top line in Belleville but it really has helped his game & added an offensive side to his game that we didn't really think he had. He reminds me a lot of Paul Gustad & that is the kind of player I thought he could be at the NHL level, but he might have more offence in his game than we give him credit for.
Either way I would like to see Paul stick & give him a significant role that he can thrive in to help his confidence as well as this team get better. After this yr's trade deadline I expect that Ottawa should have a few roster spots available & wouldn't mind seeing Paul, L. Brown & Batherson lining up together on a 3rd line. However, I doubt this coach puts three rookies on a line this season & maybe not next season either, NHL coaches seem to like a vet or two with a rookie when they are still learning the NHL game.
Hey guys, is there a link to this interview?

Nice for Paul. But no the real work starts, to maintain and improve that level of play. He may never be more than a bottom 6er....but it's still a good NHL career for guys who can do it.

Yes, now hopefully as he gets more ice-time and confidence he can show a little creativity.Nice for Paul. But no the real work starts, to maintain and improve that level of play. He may never be more than a bottom 6er....but it's still a good NHL career for guys who can do it.
