Isn’t Weegar playing the left side?

Barrie is fine as a sheltered bottom pairing guy getting PP time.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Good for him
Closer to home and gets to play for his coach from Jr

The poster is asking how Barrie will get PP time as most PPs, not sure about Calgary's use 1 dman and that would be Weegar, or Andersson

Weegar plays LD and Barrie has also been playing some LD in camp.

Barrie will likely either be the 2/3LD or the 4RD. Depends on how they feel about Bahl and Bean, the former has been injured most of camp and just got in his first game, and is still young and it might be best to let him play on teh 3rd pairing and slide up to the 2nd on nights he's playing well.

And between the 2 PP units, we usually use 3 defensemen. With no Tanev or Hanifin, weegar and Andersson are going to need to up their PK minutes, so they may play PP2 together.

Here's to hoping for a 4th at the deadline

[DJJones]

He deserved it even if I wished they'd hand it to a prospect

Bean and Barrie actually looked alright together

 

[LTIR]

Good for him.. will be rooting for the guy even though he is a Flamer.

 

[Phrasing]

Is he playing his off side?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Overpaid by 1.5.

 

[KodakGinger]

Would prefer the young guys get some reps in the A until the deadline. Then Brew or Poirier can step in and take his role.

 

[Lunatik]

Is he playing his off side?

He doesn't have an on side any more, so yes

Andersson not that great on the PP. He had 0 goals on the PP last sesaon

One year is OK. Our second line RD and later needs a little more seasoning in general.

I don't think seasoning is the problem. Just one D under 25. Need to find some guys that are actually good.

Age =/= Experience. Miromanov and Pachal might be 25+ but they have very limited NHL experience (about 110GP combined) and are still developing. Hell, Bahl has more experience than the 2 of them put together. Even old man Hanley has fewer than 200 games in the NHL

More than that. Pachal and Miromanov need more reps (low NHL GP) and kids like Brewski, Parekh etc. needs more seasoning before graduation.

A second pairing RD isn't falling into our lap before season starts, there's worse than Barrie as a stop gap on third pairing.

Yeah, they don't have much experience because they are scrubs.

More experience won't fix lack of talent.
