For Pierre Dorion:
Hey Pierre,
I get the rebuild and agree it was needed. But you gotta give us more of the plan, I don’t need to see the internal papers, but a few minutes speaking to some of the key prospects and their development would go a long way to making me realize what is going on. If the kids are alright why are they healthy scratches in Bingo and why are their agents kicking up dust.
Something along the lines of key prospects and their development curve:
Josh Norris - ‘hasn’t played a ton of hockey recently so we want to break him into the AHL and make his way up the lineup when guys like Logan and Chlapik make it in Ottawa. We like him for his size, we are building a big team, we see him as a 2nd / 3rd / 4th line center. Needs to work on his shot / skating / awareness.
Batherson - explain why he has stalled and looks slow and confused. Is he the Cody Ceci of our forwards - amazing first 10 games and then slowly overhwlemed? What’s up with him, he’s a key prospect.
Jonathan Davidsson - wasn’t he supposed to be next to NHL ready. What type of player is he?
Gustavsson - is he being groomed to be a backup? That’s okay, but why isn’t he starting games on Belleville?
Logan Brown - he looks good to me, and what does Bobby Ryan do for a PP this kid can’t do? If Abramov can develop at 10 minutes a night in the NHL, why can’t Logan?
Let’s go - we keep hearing about the plan, but last year you said you had multiple plans and the owner said you had a plan all along to trade Stone and EK. I don’t listen to poo-jeans, I listen to you because you understand hockey. Explain the plan, don’t just say we have a plan, lay it out for us. I need more then what’s been explained.
