When I said that, it was with the intention he looks good enough for an extended look. Trust me the longer he stays away from Sully the more at ease I am about any prospect.
Yager starting at wing isn't a bad thing either. You see where he is at with face offs and rotate him in with his right handed shot but otherwise why rush a lad right? Sullivan has him pencilled in to learn as a 4c to add some juice and jam to his sticktoitiveness sammich.
If Yager makes the team, I expect it will be as Sid’s LW…possibly 3C but I doubt they want him to be used in tough defensive spots initially and they already have more than enough bottom six center options….if Yager is good enough and uses his shot well, shows some offensive instincts, AND Sid likes playing with him, he should make the team and it will be there…imo, it’s there or bust…he will not be playing center in the next year or so…I pray he makes the team and that other prospects make the team and Dubas has the foresight to waive/trade vets to make that happen…because god knows the coach will be trying to make a vet-heavy lineup lol
