Im gonna say yes considering who he was dealt for, they'll give him a longer leash and we know how that worked with Brett Howden
 
Seasons are long as hell so really nothing wrong imo with giving a scrapheap vet the first chance and starting a guy like this in Hartford, unless he absolutely kills it in camp/preseason
 
Probably best off if he misses the home opener and then they call him up after that. We don’t need to see him embarrass himself (in a similar style as Lias Andersson) by skating slow as molasses to center ice when they call his name to introduce him.

If he does, great. Otherwise, I don't see any problem with him following a similar plan as Gabe did last season considering Greentree will similarly be in his D+3 year.

It's way too early to be projecting this stuff before the draft and offseason moves even happen. We don't even know what Hartford's coaching staff will look like next year.

'Promote' David Quinn to HC of Hartford.

I just want new assistants.... I know Sully is not going anywhere. I just want another Muse type behind the bench

but yes. The prize from the Panarin deal will be given every opportunity to make the squad. He seems physically ready, so I can't see why he wouldn't. HE will be definitely getting 3rd line minutes and no PP time because Rongos. Ideally he's paired with some vet presence that plays a similar style, ( JTM or Tro ) but he'll get Laba and Sheary.

Quinn was terrible as an AHL head coach, and he's shown that his best skills are as an assistant coach. Two straight years of running essentially top-5 powerplays in the league. I'm not a fan either and hated bringing him back, but he got the results he was hired to do. Robertson became an NHL player against all odds and Gavrikov had a breakout offensive year.

Robertson is not a success story, he should have been in the nhl two years ago, they damn near fumbled him. The guy was central division dman of the year in the WHL and they basically buried him from the get go. Out of nothing but necessity did he get a chance and showed he was better than players ahead of him in NY. If he hadnt gotten that call up he'd still he in Hartford.

Going to say no bc Drury will sign someone from the scrap heap and sullivan will play him. Also connor sheary will be back.

I honestly don't know where this comes from.

Gabe played 16 minutes a game. Cuylle played nearly 17. Laba played 13:28.

Sheary only played 14 minutes. Brodzinski, Raddysh, and Carrick all played around 11.

Sullivan didn't play vets over young, top 9 players at all.

If he plays well like Laba...sure
It should be about Meritocracy and not some predetermined template
 
I believe he does.

He's got a great attitude towards the game, very competitive, great shot, good size, decent skating ability.

Knows what he needs to do to make the roster as he was one of the last cuts last year at the LA Kings camp.

Plus, I think Drury is going to want to see a quicker return on the Panarin Trade and if this kid comes in, makes the team and does well, that's a feather in Drury's cap, even if the masses don't think so.

I mean will cuylle played 2 full seasons prior. Not the same boat at all. He is a vet at this point not a rookie.


Laba i will give, but he is a center and we basically had nobody else.

Perreault got alot of minutes when the season was basically done and panarin was traded and even then he was removed from PP1 as soon as miller i believe was back in the lineup even though he was producing very well. So he played him bc he had to, and really but should have played him even more and not demoted him. Oh and as soon as he was demoted the PP went to shit for a while again.

We also played spencer martin over garand.

So yeah, sully isnt really known to let kids play unless forced. And injuries forced him to alot this year.
