A vow of silence in regards to a media is an interesting approach. Especially for a personable guy like LaRose.

That's very unusual. But hey, he was burned out. Maybe during his year of soul searching, he decided that part of his problem was from feeling obligated to talk to the media? Maybe he sees it as an unnecessary distraction. He seems like the kind of guy who can put on a good face through something he hates. Who knows. Whatever works for him.

Or maybe he secretly hates Tripp and wants to set a precedent that allows him to avoid talking to him if he ever makes it back. :sarcasm:

Brendan Woods recalled. Another guy not named Chad LaRose. I have to think he's not gonna be in Carolina this year.

It looks like they're really going through the prospect pool, allowing the kids to show what they got. Which makes a lot of sense given the situation in Carolina.

14-15 is now just a really long preseason for 15-16.

I wonder if they are going to give every prospect a quick look and then give Chad a farewell tour in the last week or two of the year. If he's not good enough to play for this team he's gotta know he's done, right?

He's second on the Checkers in points, and he's been involved in some big goals for them. I don't think its that he's not good enough to play for this team. It's likely just RF going through the prospect pool and seeing what JR has left him.

Plus, he'd be a bit redundant right now with Dwyer and Gerbe on the roster.

I think the reason he hasn't been recalled is because the guys being called up are actual prospects. There's no reason to call him up over these guys, woods is a legit role player prospect. If we were playoff bound it wouldn't surpise me if Larose got a shot. Sop to take a shot on a kid in a season like this.

He’s just being ‘Rosey.

"He's one of those guys that everybody likes to play with," coach Paul Maurice said. "He's excited about playing. He's going to go work his butt off, so he's going to make you look good. He gives you chances to score. He's going to compete and say a few funny things on the bench. ... As we're moving the lines around, 'Guys, you're playing with Chad today,' (the reaction is), 'All right, I'm playing with Chad today - that's a good thing."'
