You don't huh ?
I can't believe how blind some people's hockey knowledge is.
lol... you're posting on a Montréal Canadiens message bored and you thought people would be sane and rational ?

Do you guys think that Subban will be called up for the playoffs (with or without an injury to a roster player) or do you think the team will stick with the veterans?
I personally think that they should call him up to give him experience and get him ready for next season, besides, he would play well with Markov on the power play I think.
Discuss!
Why do people care more about the Calder Cup than the Stanley Cup? The window of opportunity to win a stanley cup is small. When it's there, you take all your best players and go. Maybe next year we're out of the playoffs, and the year after other players are gone/injured. Right now, we're peaking, we're almost at full strength. If Subban helps the club, then bring him up. If not, keep him down. That should be the only criteria in this case.
Every player develops at a different pace, but some players are born superstars and when they make the jump, they make it for good. There are several players in the nhl that skipped the ahl development process. Crosby, Ovechkin, Doughty, etc/ The guy is NHL-ready, stop wasting time and let's make a cup run. There comes a time when all the chips are in place and you go for it. Don't see what the big deal is. The fans will be patient with a rookie.....right?

True...I guess as an MTL fan I am just tired of bringing up a SURE-FIRE prospect...just to ruin his development down the line...You know what I mean
When you say "development" what exactly are you talking about?will
P.K be a faster skater in the future if he stays behind at the AHL level?how exactly will Hamilton make his progression any better than the NHL? i'd understand if it was a 18 year old guy still learning to shoot hard or a guy like Lapierre with no real potential...
Physical tools have nothing to do with development.................................................................................................................................................................................

Its how your able to translate those physical tools to the NHL by using your noggin...this is what makes the most talented players bust...they are physically gifted but they lack that mental aspect where they cant adapt to higher skill level, think faster, act faster etc.
Do I need to point out obvious prospects...look at carey right now lmao we have four threads dedicated to him...look at lats...look at ribs...they had the skill but their heads did not follow in time...pressure...expectations etc. can really ruin a kids development
edit: physical tools obviously have something to do with it lol...but everyone's scouting is based on their physical tools when they are younger so it is of the least concern...
You're right.But don't P.K have his own Agenda...? he will play his way and be told not to, ex.the spins on the blue line.So how do you want him to adopt to the NHL with AHL experience?why can't he just learn at the highest level from the start and learn to think faster and better in the NHL.

Let him go deep in the AHL playoffs, it'll be better for his development than to play limited minutes for a round over here.
