Was waiting for Beau to rocket one right into Carter's eye and have him be out for 3 months

I am still rattle that Zamula is a healthy scratch and not on the Phantoms !!
Seelsy , Risto and Braun over a kid that everyone screamed from the mountain tops that we would play is infuriating.

Meltzer said he asked Torts what was going on, and Torts said: Zamula will play when I decide to put him back in. No elaboration.

Such an arrogant POS. Also his comment about not speaking to Tanner as well, he's such an arrogant clown.
And some think this team is developing the kids, its a trainwreck,
This is worse than AV regime.

The situation here gets worse each and every year. Can't wait to see who replaces Torts. Who is even deeper down at the bottom of the barrel? Pierre Maguire as HC with Chiarelli as the next GM?

If he fails as a center, will they blame it on him?

We know who is replacing Torts. It’s Lappy because we will continue to play dinosaur hockey while everyone else laps the Flyers several times

Holy.
When faced with the choice of “Best for Player” or “Position of Weakness,” Chuck Fletcher goes for the latter. Truly, this is developmental malpractice of the highest order. Not only is he a LW, but this “development” is as a top 9 center. And they’re telling you what they think of Frost’s future as well. I don’t even think they know what a center does; Cates just gives off hard to play against responsible vibes, so f*** it. Fletcher is so bad at his job, so desperate to fill self-created holes, so unimaginative, it’s scary.

The fact Zamula is still with the team and not LHV tells you Torts likes him.
If he didn't think Zamula could play, he'd push to send Zamula down and bring up someone like Connauton, who he had in CBJ.
Problem is they have to try and fix Risto (the contract is what it is, Torts is stuck with it), and if you're trying to coach up Risto, you want to partner him with someone safe like Seeler, not a rookie.
But if Zamula is still up, it suggests Torts feels he's NHL ready and by practicing with the team will be better prepared to step into the lineup.
If you think a guy can play center, you try to develop him as such until he proves you wrong.
Centers are harder to find than wings, and even if a guy isn't a long-run starter, the ability to step in at center to fill in when injuries occur makes a player more valuable.
We're rebuilding, the next couple years are when you do things like this, not when you're actually competing for a playoff spot.

“If you think” — who thinks? This confederacy of dunces managing this disaster team? I don’t give a flying shit what they think. They’ve proven to not know their ass from the elbow in evaluating.
Stepping in at center is fine. I don’t really care if Cates is tried at center now and again. But flat out saying he’s a long term center (read: top 9) is not realistic and bad for him and bad for the team and doubling down on bad process. Between Cates, Farabee, Gauthier……their thought process is painfully obvious. They’re so desperate for centers they’re working backward instead of forward. How dare they try Frost with Cates’ usage though! No, this is more sensible. Give me a break.

just like hak with wright...nice little indication that whoever we draft (if we do end up drafting top 5-10) might also be going that route.What is the point of having Zamula up if he’s not playing?
