I do think Geekie really needs some AHL conditioning but at the same time I know Joel Bouchard is going to drain every ounce of creativity from his game and he will come back as a bottom 6 forechecker so I don't really like this.

i dont see him being there long, just get his confidence back and be back in maybe 2-4 weeks if that

Definitely for the best, he's shown flashes but has been struggling a lot of late - definitely think it's better for him to spend some time as the #1 guy down there as opposed to getting incredibly sheltered minutes up here.

AYOOOOOOO

Good. He needs it

 

[ccman68]

Good for his development, but does not help our playoff chances. Hopefully there is a trade coming

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Probably the right time to do it.

AHL is playing during the break right? Might as well send him down to get more reps in.

 

[JTBF81]

I could see this for during the 4 nations break, but not now. Who exactly is better that they are replacing him with in the top 9? He's still the 7th or 8th best F on the team atm. With these next 4 games before the break being rather important, the timing seems very poor unless a trade is happening very soon.

Good move for the time being

He hasn't been producing at all lately, might as well lump the 7-12 forwards all in the same group right now. Playing Atkinson over him while he gets some solid minutes in the AHL isn't going to hurt us any less.
