I hope this isn't a distraction.

That may be mentioned to them by Berube. Whatever they do they can't make this into a distraction. Alex needs to prove himself and perform and earn a spot if he wants it, and I hope he does. I am all for some miracle taking place and they perform like the Sedins eventually.

Not holding my breath but I hope it works out.

He's a journeyman that nobody wanted, even saying Sedins is preposterous. He's only up because we're decimated with injuries now, my expectations are "anything is a bonus". Hopefully the adrenaline gives him a short term boost and it helps the team, but long term I don't see him in the mix at all.

Who can’t he play over?

Im just saying here's a guy nobody wanted and suddenly we're pencilling him as a given. When everyone is healthy, he will have a tough time sticking unless he shows well. He needs to play high in the lineup too. It's all gravy with that guy for me, expected nothing when we signed him and his contract is a reflection of desperation really.

I thought he had broken out last year and assumed the CBJ’s would have resigned him. He scored at a 20g pace albeit with an inflated shooting percentage. I was surprised to see him go.

Likely he’s an AHL journeyman but hopefully he makes the best of this shot and winds up on waivers to a team with room for him to play in the NHL.

I don’t think it will be, they aren’t on the same line and if you watch the blueprint video. These guys are pros. They’ve been in rinks their entire lives. Nothing is going to change. It’s just something they’ve both wanted to do, they’ve wanted to play together in the NHL on the same team. I expect it to provide energy. Greb - Minten - Nylander has been one of the best lines in the AHL. I expect them to have another great night tonight.
