In the immortal words of Dennis Green "They are who we thought they were! And we let them off the hook!"

The team isn't good. It's has 5-ish forwards, 4 defenseman, and 1 goalie. Bringing kids into a dumpster fire won't help. Run the vets out there until you get Byfield (i'm still torn between Byfield and LaFreniere, but it could just be a matter of who's available at that time, I lean Byfield).

Also, it's not like the kids are lighting up GR. Veleno has no points in 6 games, Zadina has 1 goal (and is still snakebitten), Seider has looked good, but has 1 point and is a plus 3 in 6 games (his only 6 games on NHL ice). Kaski has 1 goal and is a -3.

Svech and Rass look really good, but Rass is still learning to be a C at the pro level. I think Svech should be playing in the NHL. He just needed some confidence and to make sure he can trust his knee.

Until March, leave the kids in GR as much as possible. Give them some auditions if they are doing well, but let them gel in GR.


With Glendening out (at least for a bit), and Erne on IR, don't call up another forward just yet. Run the lines below, and if necessary, play 11F/7D. Let the kids gel.
