The crazy thing about this JG discussion is he's playing on the third line tonight, following a couple of games where he's played well. His ice time has gone up a little. Basically proving both sides of the isle correct
Jesus Christ, TJ. What is that expect them to do for this kid??
Is Kakko a 4th liner? Is Buch? Is Quinn supposed to put him above those guys just 'cause he's 6 foot f#cking 4??????????
HE HAS TO EARN IT AND HE HASN'T YET!!!!! - Tonybere
Well I’ve seen every player under the sun move up and down lines except him. Tonight he’s playing a top 9 role. Hopefully he stays there for more then 2 shifts.

Like you said, Quinn has moved other youngsters to the top of the lineup. Just maybe Gaut hasn't showed him that he deserves it Kreider is a physical specimen, as well, but even he goes missing for multiple games on end. Physical prowess doesn't automatically equate to success.

Agreed.
Sorry for losing my cool. But, I think we've analyzed this about as much as possible!
Gauthier has tremendous size and strength, he protects the puck well and how are these kids supposed to get better or show they belong? - KreiderBomb
Bingo. He was a first rd pick for a reason, and it wasn’t to be a 4th liner. If he showed nothing I’d get the other side, but he shows enough flashes for me. This is not Brett Howden we’re talking about, he may be able to score 20 a season if he gets a fair chance
These sports reporters are practically speaking Eichel on the Rangers to existance. Every hockey site I go to today its literally front page news about the game tonight and the rumors.
