good news!
I think the bottom 6 will look like this

Cousins - Thompson - Suzuki
Lek- Poehling - Byron

That's a pretty gnarly bottom six

Looks like they'll be APoehling him out of the AHL...

1 or 2 games, maybe, but he's not ready.

He ain't that good in the A, he's not ready for long term N.

You could wait a very long time before he "dominates" in the AHL, might not even happen lol... That doesn't necessarily imply that he won't do a good job in the NHL.

I don't want him to dominate, I want him to be good.

3G 2A in 13 AHL games, I agree those aren't amazing numbers, but it's not disastrous either imo. Do you watch the Rocket games?

I watched two, Belzile is by far their best player

could be another interesting call-up

It will hurt his 3 goals per game average in the NHL.

He'd surely deserve it.

Scored twice in shootouts this weekend to give them two wins

I don't watch any game anymore, they are waaaay too late for me.

It's not disastrous, which is why I'm fine with giving him 1-2 games, but I'd also give Vejdemo a try, after Belzile.
