That Cappy wouldn't play him suggests to me that Barzal could very well be a top 6 forward. - Wildschwein
Probably.
I just refuse to call somebody not ready, or ready, for the NHL after they play 2 NHL games 11 days apart and average 9:45 TOI with crappy linemates. |

I believe the point is that nobody ever really got the chance to see if Barzal was truly NHL ready or not. He got limited minutes in 2 games. - eichiefs9
They blew it with Barzal like so many before him and many more to come if this GM isn't canned. Player development with this crew is non-developmental unfortunately. |

In a perfect world, I'd love to see this forward lineup for next year assuming Barzal is ready.
BLT line
Beauvillier - Strome - Ho-Sang
Ladd - Barzal - Chimera
Kul - Cizikas - Clutterbuck |

Alright lets not blow this out of proportion. They undoubtedly did a bad job with the whole situation but it's not like Barzal's life is ending here. |

Nelson?
Are we assuming he was lost to the expansion draft?

Does that include the 4 mins in penalty time? BUST move on. |

Nah lets encourage this and allow it to fester. It shall be much like the Arab Spring with Snow playing the part of Gaddafi. |

If that's the first line next season, I would expect JT to test free agency. |

I agree that Cappy shouldn't have made him sit in the press box. I'm simply saying Barzal shouldn't have made the team yet and gotten more playing time in the juniors followed by AHL. When did I defend Cappy here? lol
Ho-Sang was brought up to the NHL when he was ready was he not? - bgainesDM
OK he can't play in the NHL because he's too young. If they wanted to keep him for 10 games then he should have gotten a fair shot and the time to go along with it. Weight played jhs because he said he earned it and I think he would have given barzal the same opportunity. Cappy is on here because he's the (frank)ing idiot that sat him and the same guy who played Brian strait because he played a heavy game. Winnipeg gave the same guy 1 game and said see ya so this gives me reason to believe that barzal was never given a fair shake by a guy know for making moronic lineup decisions |

There's about five posts on this thread I'm trying not to respond to. You responded to one of them the other four are just as ridiculous. Restraint, restraint. - Cptmjl

Truthfully, I think that lineup sucks. Not because you put together a bad lineup but because it's featuring 3 rookies that will be relied upon in big roles (and because some of the supporting cast blows).
If Strome is our second line center again next year we have major problems. |

Why? A guy that gets to the dirty spots in the crease and scores, Tavares(assuming he rebounds next year), and the guy who is in 4th right now in 5 on 5 primary assists.
This line is top 5 in 5 vs 5 points per 60 min. Imagine if JT rebounded next year. |

How about a top 5 pick that played 64 games with Pandolfo and reasoner? Or was it matteau? |

Hopefully he is lost to trade. |

I'd settle for deposing him, but whatever happens after that I leave to the locals. |
