This is just stupid.
Exelby.....enough said.

Yes.

but we only called up because they had to....not because they were going to try him out.

and they chose the guy with no experience..

so trade that soft forward raymond .. since he isnt bottom 6 material under RC.. get an asset and give a guy a shot..

its not like this would happen game one of round 1.. still lots of hockey left to play after the deadline

But EXPERIENCE!!

It's only stupid because it drives a nail through your stance and you don't like it and have nothing left......... IT's STUPID.

That's not what you're arguing or comparing. You're saying move Raymond and give Leivo an NHL playoff starting role as opposed to a Ahl depth role. I agree with the Krug example ...do it! ...start him in the AHL and if a couple of wingers get banged up call him up.

What's the difference?? The lack or experience was the reason given.


Let him play for the last 20 games and settle in. Hell Holland has been sold when given a chance.

No it doesnt....doesnt at all.
Krug was young talent with playoff experience in other leagues...his skillsets were what Boston needed at that time. They didnt need what little Exelby brought.

So again.....nonsense....no nail...nothing.

wasnt.

Im forgetting a couple of key letters today.

But he had no experience, you couldn't possibly put him into the lineup and expect to win with no experience.


So yeah.

wasnt.

welcome to my world

But EXPERIENCE!!

B's added Wade Redden at the deadline for that experience. They chose to put Hamilton in the pressbox and Krug in the minors. Redden got hurt and they moved down the list to Bartkowski ...Krug ...and Hamilton.

- The Law

Agreed.

Or they could do what Dozzer suggested....Bring the kid up and play him the rest of the year to at least get him some more NHL experience.

But who knows what Nonis has planned. we will see.

so it's possible that a player with no experience can perform well? Agreed.

Depth has been the argument all along. If you can get better depth ..sure. But I'd rather Holland, Ashton, McLaren and Orr as the 4th line wingers and press box guys with Leivo being a potential call up.

Of course.

Edit: And it's wise not to expect it.
