Good. Like to see if Grans' performance was an Adrenalin fluke or they have something there.
Carolina will be a good test for him.

Andrae "seized the day" before he got hurt.
Now it's Grans turn.

They could have been doing this the entire time but instead these guys only get opportunities out of injuries.

Grans sucked last year, which you agreed, where did you rank him on the prospects list?

Like Andrae, he must have committed himself over the summer b/c both raised their game substantially from last season.

Grans was on the 1st pair with LHV and his performance in that role got him a shot.
He still has to run with it, we'll see tonight if there's more there.

I want to know why rebuild means not dealing with youth making mistakes and giving them a chance trying to adjust to the NHL rather than making them marinate in the AHL? They sold the fans on a rebuild. Fans will understand kids making errors and losses happening.

If a kid fails, next kid up.

And yes I truly believe they want to be the wayward home for aging vets.... Yandle and Johnson get game 1000 here.... Johnson should be fired into the sun but they can't because then another kid would be playing in their minds

I don't care where I had him on a prospects list (I didn't fill one out). It's the idea that they could be getting these shots because the team is supposedly rebuilding.

Instead they have slop that plays above them and even if they flash it won't matter because once the players return from injury they'll be shuttled right back to LHV which will lead to the conversations around here to go round and round.

My two core tenants are: Making the playoffs isn't an accomplishment and that i'd prefer the player that might be shit but we don't know yet over the player that we know is shit.

The AHL is a better environment than the NHL for player development for a number of reasons:

1) schedule, game are concentrated on weekends, so it allows for more practice and teaching
2) TOI, a top prospect can play 20-25 minutes a night in all roles in the AHL
3) less pressure, it's not just coaches, teammates don't want to babysit for a player who's clearly not ready.

Show me an example of a player whose career was ruined by staying in the AHL for an extra season.
Lots of players have been ruined by being rushed to the NHL before they were ready.
