If Perfetti puts up a couple of PPG seasons, then he's earned the right to float around the blueline in the D zone too lolHeh heh... Seriously? He said that? I guess that doesn't apply to all centers. The last time Scheifele was deep in his zone was when he tried to take Evans' head off.
I’d guess Fleury. That’s why they signed him to be their LHD depth. He is probably better than Stanley as is.
If only we could've hired the Dallas coach who helped forwards like Robertson or Hintz break into the NHL. Shucks!
Who says Fleury was signed for the Moose? He has been mostly a 6/7 in the NHL with very little time in the AHL. I think he saw a team with a weak left side after the top 2 players and took his chance he could carve out a role.Fleury was signed mainly for Moose. But he also provides a depth we didn't have on that side. Lucky that we have him now.
Not day to day, but week to week, or even month to month. We all know how dat to day works.
I won't count on either of them at least until they are skating with the boys in a no contact jersey.
I'd say it was a chance to stay in the NHL. I would have had him #8 on the depth chart to start. But he signed before Stan, Heinola or Lundmark re-signed.
Johnston, Stankoven as well…Harley on the back end. They certainly didn’t let all these guys slow cook in Iowa until they were 22-23.
It does sound like Brad is still in the coach's mind a potential opening day player. I have a hard time seeing him playing in Edmonton, just based on the quality of centers they have...That's a tough first test, but having him back in the home stretch for some games would be interesting. Going into Minnesota against their veteran lineup is a chance for him to make an impression. Because they are on the calendar early. If Arny didn't think he was capable he wouldn't even give him the chance. It's a measuring stick for sure. I think Lambert makes that decision harder if he keeps playing well on the PP too. I do get the sense that Arniel wants legitimate special teams improvement this year, in both ends of the ice. And it's seeming like that battle for the final cut might come down to two guys on opposite ends of special teams, Lambert and JAD. Especially if Stan isn't good to go. Because the defensemen on the cut line are still uncertain with 3 games left to play.
It was a Tongue in cheek comment, bc Bowness gets shit on since he allegedly ruins young players.
