I think the only guy we need to upgrade on is Highmore & I wouldn't mind seeing Halliday for a few games to see if he could contribute more towards this team. Halliday has been playing really well in Belleville & leads the team in scoring, he deserves a callup soon.

Ostapchuk - Halliday - Gaudette

Highmore probably brings more in his role than Halliday would at the moment.

I've liked Highmore, fit in well,

I worry about Halliday's ability to step into a depth role, he's not quick on the forcheck (from my very limited viewings) and I think the reason our depth guys have succeeded is due to that high pace get in there and disrupt, then get off mentality.

No way can Halliday come in a do what highmore has done. Very different players and we need high mores profile right now

i think ostapchuk has played well, also with cousins coming off a knee injury i would lock him into a higher role personally. Ideally he comes back and is his usual self but considering the type of injury he maybe a step or two slower.

bjugstad would be a good fit for the team, i personally want to aim a tier better

Not even a question.

Halliday will likely never be able to play his role in the NHL, I'd put the odds extemely, extremely low

I don't see Halliday playing anything but a scoring role. I think the odds are stacked against him ever being that in the NHL but you never know.

To me he doesn't have the speed, motor or defensive awareness to do what Highmore (or Jenik or Ostapchuk) can do on the 4th line.

I'd honestly just ride the current team and not make any additions. We just can't afford to bleed any more assets unfortunately.

As much as I'd like to see Staios make a depth move for cheap (4th or something like that for Donato), I'm fine with Staios showing restraint. We don't have the assets to acquire anyone that is helping us go past the 2nd round and there's value in waiting and seeing what this team can do in a playoff environment.

We'll have the summer to make some more moves with a bit of cap flexibility and have a better idea of our cupboards based off what we do with our first rounder.

Halliday may not be the perfect fit for the bottom 6, but he shouldn't need to be. There's a hole in our top 6 beside Norris and Batherson that Perron clearly is not capable of filling at his age.

It would be smart for Green to give Halliday a tryout in that kind of role before pulling the trigger on a deadline acquisition like Donato.

Not sure what more Halliday needs to do to get a callup. He's been one of the best offensive players in the AHL in the last 20+ games.

Can't see him having much success at the NHL in any role with the way hisn .

Doesn't fit a bottom 6 role, and I can't see his slow down the play game panning out in the NHL.

He's not going to be getting 4 minutes of PP time, and I don't think he's able to keep up with play in the top 6. He is making plays in the AHL happen by controling the play, slowing things down, and dictating the plays himself. He can't do that in the Sens top 6.

Would love, LOVE, to be wrong

Yep, he has improved his consistency a lot. Halliday had 5 points after 14 games with 2 stretches of 4 games going pointless.

Since then, he has 26 points in 23 games and hasn't gone more than a single contest without getting at least a point. It seems since he decided to start using his shot, he has seen his production even out.

He has a nice balance with 11 goals and 20 assists.

That said, I am not in a rush for him to play in Ottawa. They seem to have a good thing going in Belleville and if he is getting more and more ice time, I am fine with him continuing to blossom. There was hype for him to shine in training camp this year and he wasn't up to the challenge. If he finishes strong, has a good off season and can show something next year, there will always be room for a big, rangy playmaker.

It would be nice to see how he looks though, and maybe a nice little boost for him.

That's about how I see it as well. He does have less than 50 pro games under his belt though, so I'll hold out a bit of hope that he figures it out enough to be an NHL player at some point.

I don't see it as is though. Like you I'd love to be wrong.

Deserves an opportunity to show what he can do:

Halliday's stats:
GP 37 G 11 A 21 PTS 31 PIM 21 +/- -13
I don't like his +/-.
6'4" 212 lbs. Age 22 (23 in July)

He doesn't need to do what Highmore does which is not that much anyway, this is a problem with people they have ONE expectation of what the 4th line should be & do & can't seem to imagine something different.

Halliday brings a different game, a more offensive game, Gaudette played on the 4th line & brought some goals & he's not some kind of forechecking dynamo. Ostapchuk is that determined forechecker on that line, but it wouldn't hurt to get Halliday to play more of an up tempo game & playing him on a 4th line with controlled minutes would be a way to start improving his game, his stamina & his conditioning. Ostapchuk also scored goals in the AHL & with Halliday as his centre maybe he gets a few more chances or Gaudette starts to score more again.

What is gained by not bringing up the highest scoring player in Belleville simply because Ott fans on this board don't think he can play here? He needs to show the coaching staff he can be trusted & does all the little things the coaches expect. If he shows that on a bottom line where it doesn't hurt them, then they can decide to give him more responsibility & a chance higher up in the lineup.
