True, but my point is because Vanek is signed, if Goldobin plays better then him, he will still be the one sent down if Boeser and Virtanen show better then him. The big issue i had last camp was Larsen over Stecher, and stecher was waaay better,if the injuries didnt happen he would of been in the AHL longer while Larsen was playing terrible.

I think Brock is well ahead of a lot of the forwards. JV, another season in Utica. Call ups and when spots open up end of the year. Its Goldy who is the question mark for me. Has the skill but effort level to play both ways and battle. Boucher is another. Show up in better shape and improved skating. Maybe he gets to stick around.

Both Brock and JV can be moved up/down without waivers though right?
I think that will be a deciding factor when making cuts (similar to Stetcher last year).

To me, Goldoblin is similar to too many other forwards on the roster.
Brock is clearly the most dynamic scorer and JV brings a physical edge that is lacking.
Goldoblin can score but seems weak on D and a bit soft...we got plenty of those...

Stecher should have been playing on the team right out of camp. How did Larssen make out?

All good other than call ups if Utica is on a PO push & run.

Larssen did not work out obviously.
But i don't have any problem with the way things played out.

They gave Larssen a shot, knowing they could park Stetcher temporarily in the AHL where he would play.

I have no problem if that scenario is repeated with JV and/or Brock, while allowing a more veteran fella a chance to get going.
If it doesn't work out, bring up the kids who will remain hungry.

Well I did have a problem with the way it played out. Don't proclaim if one player out plays another that they will make room for him and when it happens send him down

I haven't read the whole thread, but you've been on point as far as I can tell. It's draft and develop, not draft and developed.

When people lie to me I very seldom ever give them trust after that. Maybe that's the way you and your circle of friends roll but not me .

I will get over what ever I chose to get over and not what some stranger thousands of kilometer away that I never met tells me to get over , but thanks
