Recalled/Assigned: NYR recall Boo Nieves

[NYR]

He who laughs last....


So, I was right about Boo, he is at least 4C at min possibly a complementary pivot on a higher line, not that at this point he has earned a higher C designation, but from a standpoint of chemistry/he could be a complementary fit for the correct 2 Ws on a higher line.

Where is open to honest discussion, but it is clear he DOES belong.

DD sucks, rare Gorton miscue, should not have been signed.

Unless MacKinnon gets here, JT to 1C, Boo to 4C
Hayes
Chytil/Andersson are options.
Lettieri much preferred to DD



That's true, but I still prefer what Zib offers on a middle line if we haven't traded him. I concur he is extremely solid add in locker room and off ice but is not indispensible.
Take 2 steps back to go 5 forward. Deal Zuc, McD



be afraid. be very afraid.
... unless it helps get AV canned.


Well said.

He did have a good game Bern
No arguments there but hopefully he can keep it up against some stiffer competition.

They should have played Nieves more than 9 mins after his awesome last and first game.

4th line duties - not sure why Buch is on that line.

I was surprised he played. Would have made more "AV sense" to scratch him entirely.
