Heino out 3-4 weeks; Who should be called up?

[Fandangle]

Who's your pick and why? For myself having watched more than a handful of AHL games this season, I'd go with Davidson. Forechecking sniper in the mold of Heino.

Why not. That being said, I wonder how Roy been playing since his assignment back to Laval??

 

[Tyson]

A big, fast and physically ready forward for the 4th line...Luke Tuch.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

I wanna see what Beck looks like in the NHL.

skating and speed are not there yet, I hope they don't rush him.

 

[montreal]

I hope it's ABB, can't really stand watching him in Laval, seems like he doesn't give much of a shit and he's been tied to the hip of Roy, so most games those 2 are frustrating as hell when you consider how skilled they are but can be most invisible for much of the game outside PP's. Roy seems much more engaged when people are overly physical with him but I just want them to split the pair up.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Beck Tuch Davidson Condotta Dauphin could all be good choices at this stage depending on the role they want this player to play.

 

[GrandBison]

Boring answer, Condotta

 

[EveryDay]

Beck or Tuch.

Guessing Condotta.

 

[montreal]

Beck Tuch Davidson Condotta Dauphin could all be good choices at this stage depending on the role they want this player to play.

Dauphin is only on an AHL contract and he's picked it up after a slow start so I would leave him in Laval. Tuch makes sense but since returning from injury he hasn't been as good, I wouldn't rush him just yet. I don't think Davidson is ready and I would be surprised if he's the pick but then again I haven't been too happy with how this team continues to rush kids to the NHL.

Beck can certainly play in the NHL now but he's also in a great spot on the top line and playing in all situations while being one of the main reasons why Laval will make the playoffs (goaltending and defense much improved from last year)

 

[the valiant effort]

what the ****

Of course this happened

 

[RationalExpectations]

Beck or Tuch.

Guessing Condotta.

It really depends if they just replace Heineman, with a guy like Pezzetta or Condotta or Dauphin and play them 6 minutes a night or if they want to test Tuch or Davidson at This Position still with limited ice time or if they want to fully Test Beck giving him Heineman ice time and role. There is even a world where They Shuffle the lines putting Newhook with Evans Armia and Roy of Beck play with Dach and Laine…

All those solutions can be interesting

 

[montreal]

I highly doubt they would do it but one player I would consider despite his size, skating, speed issues are Simoneau. Not because I think he can play in the NHL but the kid has been nothing but a warrior for Laval and it would be one hell of a thank you to him for his efforts as this dude can challenge Gallagher in the heart department.

RHP since he's been in the NHL but I would be surprised as he has not looked very good since returning, he's been ok at times but just doesn't seem to have it yet.

The Chosen One

I like the intensity that Beck brings in his game, I think he could help and be a good fit to replace Heino.

Beck is 100% a good choice to play on the 4th line he can help in that position while still developing, i dont see him going back down after this, unlike Roy who is inconsistant.

Tuch or Davidson would be good candidates......big and fast and deserving of a 4th line shot.

Beck could also be a great add.....

 

[waitin425]

I wanna see what Beck looks like, but I'd call up Roy in an attempt to increase his trade value and showcase him for a couple of weeks. Could backfire, but its worth the risk.

 

[Canadienna]

Tuch feels like the closest in play style to Heineman if they plan on just plugging him into that line and keeping the rest.

Not sure how he's been doing though, haven't heard much hype.

 

[viceroy]

Tuch or Davidson would be good candidates......big and fast and deserving of a 4th line shot.

I love Davidson but he's not big. He just plays BIG.

 

[BLONG7]

I love Davidson but he's not big. He just plays BIG.

Even better....

Tuch was injured earlier this season and haven't been quite the same since.

Roy is not an NHL player. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[vokiel]

Call up Tuch and hopefully he gets a spot till March 3rd

 

[Habs13]

I'd only want to call up somebody that has a future with this team going forward - not a stop-gap like Barry-Bullet or Harvey-Spinnach. Ideally somebody that can play a bottom 6 role : Tuch, Beck or Davidson. Since Beck is going to be called up when we ditch Dvorak (I can't wait for that to happen) maybe now would be a good time to try Tuch out.
