Do you guys think Jenik is going to get a call up to nhl this season?

He is putting up points nonstop in AHL right now

Plenty of Roadrunners are putting up points, he is the 2nd line centre.

Definitely a candidate to be called up towards the end of the season. He is still feeling his way out there, establishing chemistry and taking care not to overdo it in recovering from such a serious knee injury. His rate of development is so fast though, improving every game and he looks bigger out there than I remember. I was expecting a pesty winger but he could become a strong centreman.

Covid protocols mean the next 3 games are postponed :( Think the wording means some Roadrunners have tested positive or someone close to them has.

Bunting really should have gotten a look before Fasching.

It's kind of crazy how he's only played 5 games with the Coyotes when he's put up 140 points in 181 games since 2017. Watching him in the AHL and he looks like he could at least play on the 4th line, but I guess the Coyotes don't really need anymore 4th liners so maybe that's the hold up.

It may be more to do with showing up in training camps. I cant say that I've ever really noticed the likes of Bunting, Burke or Pederson in those but they're vital to the Roadrunners.

There may also be an element of acquiring players like Ness and Fasching and promising they'd get a shot which reduces the opportunities for players we drafted.

After watching the video I'm going to stick with original comment that I prefer Jenik doesn't fight.

Another bad result.

First test of Steve Potvin's new regime.

Not keen on Jenik being forced to wing presumably so that Gauthier could get a game. Jenik could make the NHL as a winger easily but could be so much more valuable as a centre, like Schmaltz is now.
