he saw quite a bit of time with okposo and ROR. So did carrier, neither of them made it work.

LAST YEAR

Now obviously I’m talking about an EXTREMELY small sample size from this year

But my OVERALL POINT (not just w Bailey),
is that prospects need to be played in the top9 when they’re called up

Putting them on the 4th line in a grinding role isn’t gonna show us if they can develop into scorers for us

And specifically to Bailey...
I’m not ready to give up on him
He was good this year with ROR
I’d like to see more of him on that line

He certainly got more of a chance, but I'm not sure if it was enough of one.

he was never in that fight, started limping right after the leg on leg hit with lazar.

That fight probably could've been even between those two

The only word to describe him is clunky. the skating, the hands...I dunno it looks like he has the talent but just never happening

They usually stop it when someone gets in a bad spot like that, but it just happened too fast.

Probably, but honestly, what do they have to lose wasting another 10 games giving a guy a good look?

I honestly think for this year botts is reverse GMTMing this. He couldn't give less of a poop about the NHL team, hes fully committed to whatever is going on in Roch to make sure those guys win and produce some kind of high end talent a la guentzel.

Budweiser's hamfisted attempt to meme

Manager: Jenkins, come up with a way to make our product a meme
Jenkins: How about a nonsense phrase that we can shoehorn in to our commercials, hoping for social media to carry it?
Manager: That's a hell of an idea, what do you suggest?
Jenkins: poop, I don't know, uhh... dilly dilly?
