I want them to take as much time as possible with him. Don't rush him, he's got a lot to learn and grown into his body
I agree with not rushing him but honestly from what I saw back in July at training camp... he can jump into the NHL right now.
He has the size, obviously and the speed to be able to jump in right away.
Maybe not make an offensive contribution but he can keep up with the game and play anywhere in the line up. Plus he is a big body presence in front of the net. ]
Guaranteed McCarron is the type of player that will have more success and growth playing in the NHL over the AHL
On a top team it fits more 3rd line than second.
I wouldn't say he has great hands. Great hands is Pat Kane. can stickhandle through 3 guys, Sekac can't do that.
He does have a great skating stride and uses his size and reach well.
Worst case he should be a solid 3rd liner...best case he can be a high end 2nd liner. The offensive creativity has been missing so far, that's the part needed to be a 2nd liner.
His game is very similar to Weise right now, would you call Weise a 2nd liner? He fills in ok with Pacioretty-Desharnais/Plekanec, but to me that's not his long term spot. Weise to me is an average to good 3rd liner.
McCarron is also 4 inches taller then Weise and has better offensive flair IMO.
I think he will turn out to be what Weise could have been with better offence.
