Is he going to stick? I picked him in a keeper league rookie draft last year and I'm wondering if I should get him for my active roster. You guys have a really nice pipeline going, by the way. Impressive stuff.
mr 10 i think could really help brown. richie is a great playmaker but he has such a simple approach he likes putting pucks in dangerous areas (slot) where brown should be when he is in the offensive zone... when brown plays with kopitar he gets comfortable handling the puck on the perimeter (king is just as effective if not more than brown on the boards). brown needs to be in the muck of things causing havoc in front of the net not trying to play a possession game on the perimeter.
1st line of king kopi williams could still be a top possession line while our 1b line of brown richards TT/JC have a more direct approach in the O zone. the two way play would not be compromised either with a king and brown switch
Pearson was bad in the Devils game though. Turned or gave the puck away numerous times.
His response time is snail slow. Games a little fast for the kid. I assume he'll be sent down and that might do him well.

I know this isn't a popular opinion but I think both Vey and Pearson will be a yo-yo this year. As needed due to injury they will be called up. Which will be great for their development. Both seem very good in the offensive zone but on the defensive side they seem to be having some problems. And that is expected, the learning curve is steep. But if they can get the D side down they will cause some great problems to have.
Sutter's been giving Vey both pk and pp time so, he must like what he sees in his game.
So far he looks like a very responsible player.
He was probably fatigued. And he's only played realistically 2 games. You're over analyzing too early.
It's not over analyzing. It's a fair observation that is shared by Jim Fox.
More like a Ve(r)y responsible player... hohoho...
