Zadorov to get a game soon

[Doug Prishpreed]

I would surprised if Zads got 9 games, but it could happen.

RR specifically said he'd like to see him for "a game," so he'd prob have to kick ass pretty hard to stay up more than that. Unless he was just being loose with his language.

So we're finally putting Risto in the AHL where he belongs....and we replace him with someone who should be tearing up juniors.

Super.

its just for a couple games, I think he played well enough in pre-season to be rewarded with a few NHL games before being sent back to juniors

Probably just a procedural move like you're intimating.

I'm not so sure.

McBain's shown worthy of being in the lineup most nights.

Going with a top 6 of:

Ehrhoff/Pysyk
Myers/Tallinder
McBain/Weber

with Sulzer as the 7th?


This way, Risto stays in the AHL and gets top minutes to really develop his game........PLUS we wouldn't burn a year of his ELC.

He's freaking 18. He should have been getting acclimated with new teammates in London while he was recovering and getting ready to play big time minutes down there. "Getting a few games" only acknowledges that he's not ready for this league and so he should be developing elsewhere.

Why would you send an injured player down to a CHL team when you can have him work with the NHL team and be around pro's? Makes no sense...

What doesn't make sense is keeping him away from the team and coaches he's going to be spending the year with. He can still pick up on system changes and meet his new teammates while he's banged up. And now that he's healthy, he should be in London's lineup tonight to face Windsor.

That's your opinion, I disagree.

I agree. That's not to say that Risto wouldn't be a call up later in the season if needed. But right now, RR seems comfortable with the other 7.

 

[hizzoner]

Hmmm. I did not think you could send an injured player down until he was ready to play.....

 

[1972]

That's your opinion, I disagree.

EDIT: to clarify I agree that he should be playing in London now, I don't agree that he should have been down there while recovering.

Nice contribution.

So according to you we can't debate where we feel our prospects would be better served....on a hockey futures website?
