Thing about Bailey is what is his ceiling statswise? His highest stats from any season are last year's 20-25-45 in Rochester. Do we see him being a 20 goal scorer in the NHL? Does he get 50 points? What does he project to be?

Rookie season Where he absolutely dominated the second half of the season. He'll compete for full nhl or continue to dominate Rochester until call up

Projects as top six power forward with speed. His first full nhl season I see him getting 40, maxing out at maybe 55-60 in a few years. He's a very good player that's developing very well

I would say he is a 15-25 goal guy in the NHL. Maybe 20-30 asissts. I'd consider him a low end 2nd winger or an upper end 3rd line winger.

A Jamie McGinn type guy who can move up and down and plays HIS game that is effective. I've seen some compare him to a Jakob Silfverberg type player as well.

In the OHL he only had highs of 43 and 41 points, so that's why I question it. Obviously he could grow into that, I'm just trying to temper my expectations

In a nutshell... possibly...

Rochester looks like:

BUSTlander - BUSTnel - BUSTley
KaraBUST - BUSTant - BUSTiste
BUSTier - BUSTacci/RodriBUST - BUSTneider

BUSThle - BUSTdan
BUSTlk - BUSTin
BUSTin - BUSTha?

BUSTmark
KasBUST


THAT... is.. a pretty darn good kid system right there IMO.

He had 69 pts in 57 games in his final season, a 26 point improvement from the year prior.

He's one of those prospects you slow cook Detroit style then comes into the league to become a great second liner.

So what you're saying is rush him right now and demand that he scores 20 while we put him next to John Scott and Zenon Konopka?

I hate how bad he is in NHL 16 because he is so much better than that. Hard to call up a guy who is a 58 overall. haha.

TECHNICALLY... we just elected to keep Vanek instead of them two.

Not the smartest choice in the world but...

Just messing with ya guys, but its funny how the media train is pumping this barrie leaving story.

Media cant even get his UFA years right when they go nuclear with their Avs hate pieces. They think this is ROR and hes 2 years to UFA so arbitration is a death sentence.

Barrie is 3 years out to UFA status, so whatever 2 years arb if they go that way, they still have another year of him as a RFA to deal with. Unless the Avs are blown away in a trade offer, he isnt going anywhere
