We can't disagree in here now? I got to write the team a letter about my opinion? What?
Its a dumb ass plan. Strength and Conditioning during a hockey season? That is what the offseason is for.
Yeah I'm not seeing it with this one. Leo has had several days off now and a day off between this game and the next Boston game. I'm all for giving him rest on back to backs but this feels silly and gets in the way of Leo fostering chemistry wiry Terry and Zegras.
The best swedish players has always skipped AHL right to NHL.
Those buried in AHL has rarely recovered. Erik Karlsson might be the only exception to the rule.

18-19 year olds do not need rest days. Resting 20-30 games isn’t going to be the reason he keeps on weight long term. 20-30 extra workouts over the course of a near calendar year won’t do much for an 18-19 year old’s strength and weight either, especially one as active as him.
I’d really like to hear the rationale/plan in full because it makes zero sense to me from where I sit.

load managing him is absolutely ridiculous if he's not injured
It's a joke.
Teams take different paths with developing their players. If you take this at face value that this is to avoid overworking him then I have no issue with this.
I have said it previously but he has played like 8-10 games a month as a pro in the SHL. The Ducks play 14 games in November. Even if he sits 4 games next month he is still playing games at a higher rate then he ever has.
I personally disagree with him sitting 2 in a row, but I have no issue with them sitting him if they think it is best for his longterm development. This is a development year.
I’m fine with the development plan, as I’ll trust Verbeek. This just feels like a really odd game to do it. Play him today and then rest him vs Boston if you want to scratch him again so soon

I realize you didn't mean literally write a letter but it comes off condescending when all I was doing was giving my opinion on their plan, not even directly at you. Maybe I'm being emotional.
Anyway, I can understand the difficulties of the NHL schedule, especially coming from SHL, but then have him on a pitch count. Have him play 12-15 a night. I'm not sure how he is developing by not playing but that is really just my opinion. It feels like smartest guy in the room type shit. Maybe Verbeek is the smartest guy ever. I disagree with his plan.
Cronin's going to remove his turban and Dallas Eakins face will be living on the back of his head issuing these decrees, mark my words
It’s gonna be sick when Carlsson is a horse the second half of the year though when the ducks have a solid 13 wins

Ah yes, perfect for the Duck's playoff push
Ya my bad. Didn't mean to be. Youre not alone in disagreeing with this.
But, you admit there are difficulties with the schedule and reducing minutes is reasonable. This is basically all they are doing.
Last year he played an average 14:40 a game and 8-10 games a month. Thats 132 minutes a month on average. If he played every game in the NHL he would be playing more then double that every month. 20 minutes a night 14 games a month.
I would rather they sit him 1/3 of the time then play him every game at a reduced role.
That's giving them a lot more credit than they've earned. It's like people saying hockey players are the toughest guys around.. Na, the toughest guys around are at work at 7am slinging drywall for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Aww cmon i have waited since the first game to see him play. Maybe next game..
We've seen way too many bad mistakes from teams over the years to have this sort of regard for any management team.
When you do something different you're going to get pushback, it'll always be the case. If this shows results I would expect more teams to adopt it in the coming years.
Anaheim is not a playoff team, the development of the kid is first and foremost. If this is what they think is best, then execute it.

They need to make a calendar announcing the days Leo is going to sit just like they do with our 30th Anniversary jerseys

Obviously many posters on here are not familiar with the phrase "too much of a good thing."
Leo Carlsson is like the McRib. If he was available every day, it wouldn't be special anymore.

Generating false scarcity to build up demand - gives the fans something to talk about other than the standings.
