Curious to see if this is a "see what we have for the future" thing or a trade-piece thing.

Somewhat hope he plays second line with Schenn and Buch (or Neighbours) just to get plenty of ice time and see what he's capable of

I'm actually really surprised their doing this I didn't think he was close to ready, and no I'm not talking just points wise.

the real question is...how does this affect Parayko to the TMLs?

He started really slow, but has played pretty well since early November. Having struggling linemates for most of that time didn't help. I'm not surprised they're giving him some seasoning. Would have been nice if they did it before this crap weekend.

Me too but hes taken alot of steps forward defensively and his production is finally picking up, I hope he gets some decent time becasue i doubt hell be up for long

Hopefully Steeves/Abruzesse stop getting added to proposals as having legitimate value
