Agreed. If he stays out of trouble and gets some goals we'll all be happy. Judge throws out his case if it happens, too. So maybe that will keep him in line.

To answer my edit above, Nylander has 2-3-5 in 10 games. Not exactly lighting it up but for a professional rookie I'll definitely take it.

Considering there's 0 centers there that are worth a damn, that's not too shabby.

Brodin is having a nice start to the season

Its entirely possible that this was for another forward. Just with a different style of play.

They can afford to take their time with him. Make sure hes learning all the little things as well. ELC slide with time in the AHL could prove to be really valuable long term.

Agreed. I'm in no rush with him right now. Just sucks that we don't have a center that's developing there with him. All our young centers are already with the team.

That has been the issue with that team for some time now. I get that we have Reinhart and Eichel up but I would like to have someone down there who can help the wingers develop. Although I guess the other end of that is it makes them learn to produce without relying on an elite center, right?

5 points in 10 games for him is pretty good for me. He'll only get better as he plays more. I wouldn't call him up this year unless he plays so well that you can't say no. Keep going with the Baileys and the Carriers and that'll give Nylander the chance for more ice time in Rochester.

This may be better in the long run. If he can learn to create these chances by himself, think of how much better it will feel when hes playing with good centres.

sorta like the ankle weight theory i guess

Has anyone watched Kasdorf play? I don't recall seeing him at d-camp. Is he any good? Only played one game this year

That is true I guess. Sometimes I wonder if at least initially it causes a delay in development though. When Cal O'Reilly is your best option, it's not exactly a wonderful situation.

He looked bad in the Prospect tournament and looked awful in the preseason game against Toronto.

His career has turned into a very good one. On it's way to a great one even. Don't know why he has to be such a punk ass along the way.

He was good last season too. Got himself a pretty decent payday in the offseason, I think it kicks in next year.

That said, I still hate the little weasel.

I bet if we looked back far enough we could find the player who was linked in rumours with the sens during those years.

They'd call a guy up. Not to mention people get hurt in games and you play with 5. Obviously not ideal but it can work. It's a risk but I guess they're saying it not that likely.

Not like they're in California, right?

It's a stupid risk
