Suzuki Poehling IN

I don’t think will see them in montreal this year. Montreal won’t have to protect them against Seattle if they don’t have 2 years of nhl experience

What are you sayin ? Even if they both play next year MTL doesnt need to protect them. I think it's impossible both make the team, but IF they do, that's my line up

If both play more than a number i think its 40 games a year to burn a year of eligibility. So basically if both ryan and nick play two season in nhl they would have too be protected for the expension draft

Yup!

they're Pro regardless of if they play NHL there is no more entry level slide they will burn 1 year off their ELC whether its AHL or NHL .

if only NHL games counted then Evans would still have 2 years on his ELC and Fleury would have 3 years
neither do

there is no upside to Poehling and Suzuki in the AHL.
Suzuki only goes to the AHL if we plan on developing him as a Center
but with Shaw's void left unfilled its more logical to play Suzuki top RW then push Byron or Lehkonen to top 6 RW
