Try to stay out of the penalty box, ok?

So I forgot to report back, and it's a simple analysis.

Kerins was never out of position, plays a solid 200-foot game, very smart, a bit crafty but won't blow you away offensively. His intelligence compensates for a lack of elite speed.

Reminds me a bit of Daymond Langkow.

I've said before I wanted them to leave Kerins alone in the AHL this year so he could have that stability to develop as a key piece, but with his play not dipping at all in December and the contract coming up will be a nice chance to reward him and see what you've got in him before signing that next deal.

Excited to see him play, Congrats Rory well deserved.

Uncertain that he will be iced tomorrow...Why? Just play him as 3rd C. Not that difficult Ryan.

There is a massive, MASSIVE adjustment for playing in the show. Kerins himself may tell you he’d like to get comfortable before his first NHL game, the pace difference is incredible even compared to the AHL.

We and him have nothing to lose really...

I always got Jamie Lundmark vibes. AAAA guy but hopefully he proves me wrong
