The knee jerk reaction of rushing a young player into the top 4 to play 18-20 minutes isn’t always the answer either


Nurse was putting up 35-45 points a year when he was doing those brain farts and playing bad defence.

What other points did we need from him?
They haven’t rushed him. It’s been the opposite actually.

Skinner probably signed here for 1 year for 2 reasons: 1) play on a contender in the playoffs and 2) rack up a ton of goals playing with McDrai to earn a big contract elsewhere. If #2 is more important to him, he will waive so he can get top line minutes elsewhere and pad his stats for a new contract. He hasn't shown enough here for top minutes.

Start him on a popcorn diet right now?

Yep he was given a chance in camp, didn’t look ready. Was part of the rotation of guys getting light minutes and has over the course of the season earned more and more playing time.
He’s done what this org and fanbase has begged young players to do. Do whatever you can with whatever ice time you get and earn more time.
