Hunt suspended?

I’m guessing this is triggered by Goodrow? I guess he’ll miss a few games. I assume they also feel Barron is ready and this is good timing to get him in the lineup and regular minutes. I assume he’ll center the fourth line.

I have no problem with a prospect like Barron developing on our fourth line. Our fourth line is awesome. Not to mention Barron is probably a bottom sixer anyhow - at least for now.

fingers crossed Goodrow is back soon either way and hopefully Goodrow carves out a role going forward. Might be time Reaves starts getting occasional nights off too. We want to keep him fresh I think. He has looked a bit banged up lately too.

Hunt suspended?

Nah. That call was ridiculous- if anything the league owes him some time
But I suppose anything is possible with the clown Parros.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Hunt suspended?

Nope. If anything maybe Goodrow's eye is too swollen to play.

Looking forward to Barron getting some time with the big boys. Well deserved imo.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he looks solid coming in.
I doubt they recall Barron as an extra fwd, or to sit.
I’m hoping he adjusts quickly

I think Gallant and Parros are super close, doubt we will have any problems with suspensions in the future.

That’s exactly why Parros is a clown though. It’s a movable feast.
(I totally get that it’s the NHL and not Parros operating independently, Parros is just the proxy).

...I doubt they recall Barron as an extra fwd, or to sit...

but that's probably precisely why, they need a spare guy while McKegg off-limits,
you prefer they recall Greco or Rueschhoff?
unless Goodrow needs a day or 2 to heal, who do you sit?

 

[rangers1314]

Hartfords game tomorrow has already been postponed, I believe.

He's here as a 13th forward while we have back to backs and McKegg is locked away.

Gettinger if they just need a body

That makes sense with the postponement

The last report I saw from a few days ago had Hartford with double-digit players in the protocol. Who knows who is even available from Hartford.

I would assume then that while Barron has been recalled the team will be very careful to limit his exposure to others unless they are absolutely sure he is clean.

With all the cap space the team has this year, I wonder if this is more of a "You're doing well down there, kid, so we're going to give you a weekend of NHL salary" kind of thing. Little moves like that are great for player morale.

 

[Chytilmania]

Could have sworn when he played before the break there were many posters saying he doesn't belong in the NHL. He looks fine to me.

just needs consistent playing time. He’s good on draws too . The team needs that

 

[LeetchisGod]

This guy needs to play.

 

[LORDE]

This guy needs to play.

Came here to post this

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Definitely deserves an extended look.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Kid needs to play

I thought he was excellent. Defensively, physically. Playing the system to a T. Threw a well timed hit after Jones got clocked. He needs to be in the lineup.

 

[Lgrsean]

There's no way there are 12 forwards who should be playing over Barron. With Kakko out, there might not be 6 forwards who should be playing over him. But McKegg, Hunt, Gauthier, Reaves, Rooney, Chytil can all have a seat over Barron until he shows he isn't as good as they are.

 

[jay from jersey]

This has been a long time coming. I’ve been a huge proponent of Barron and that he should have taken over the 3C duties months ago.
He’s wasted on the taxi squad.
He has to be in the line up and be an everyday player..... full stop

 

[FireGerardGallant]

If Gallant decides to play Gregg f***ing Mckegg over this guy again serious questions will need to be raised about his talent evaluation.

 

[Raspewtin]

I've always liked Barron a lot. He's a very stiff player, we don't have many (probably any) like him. He needs to play every game imo.
