I'm just saying Fehr's 50 goal seasons weren't all that impressive and it shouldn't dissuade you from looking at junior production as a barometer for NHL success as long as the proper adjustments are made.

I've been an NHL draftnik since '89. You know how man high point production high drafted players I've seen never make it?

So confirmed Leonard is on the top PP unit. He's agitating out there pretty clear not making friends with RPI players.
 
Leonard is definitely the most physical player on the ice for both teams.

I'm pretty clueless. Why would juniors be preferable to South Carolina

The ECHL is really only a feeder league for the NHL for goalies. Not much star power has gone through the ECHL and becomes impactful in the NHL. There are a few exceptions of guys who got a cup of coffee and moved on like Mike Ryder got 30 or so games over two seasons, Ruslan Fedotenko got 8 games, Mike Hoffman played 4 games...most tenured to become impactful is Alex Burrows who got about 130 games. Suzdalev would have been better served playing 20 minutes a night on the first line, top PP and relied upon in a leadership role in juniors than getting 8 minutes a night beaten around on South Carolinas 4th line in a league the celebrates physical play and goonery.

Makes sense. I wonder why they decided to keep him in Hershey if they aren't playing him. Maybe they expect injuries to start opening up some spots? Would he be unavailable for the entire year if he went back down to juniors?
