He sucks. Whomever in the Caps brain trust keeps thinking he is an answer as an NHL d-man on a rainy day needs to be fired.
He is great in Hershey but should never be on the big roster.
Is Iorio injured?
Think you’re getting pretty worked up over the guy who is at best 10th on the organizational depth chart on defense. At this point McIlrath behind Carlson, Fever, Sandin, Jensen, HHA, TvR, Edmundson, Alexeyev, and Johansen. He’s only called up because three defensemen are on IR and Sandin may not play either. Not sure too many teams are pumped about their options if they’re missing four top six defensemen.
Does Iorio PK? TvR and Fever are two of their better penalty killers and Carlson is already pushing 29 minutes a game so I can see where they’d want McIlrath to come in for 10-12 minutes and eat pucks if necessary.
