Wasn't Leier already sent to the AHL
- ob18


Yeah, but there's nothing keeping him from being recalled. Just repeating what Sam said Berube said

Carchidi just tweeted Berube says all jobs are locked up except 4C & one 4W spot.

Look like Laughton, Akeson, Jones, Leier, Bellemare in fight to be Zac's linemates

- Jsaquella

Any chance we get Akeson, Laughton and Leier instead?

Akeson is ready for the big show IMO. Working a regular shift I think we'll only watch the kid blossom and grow.

I don't see him as a top-6 LW anymore, and with the addition of Umberger and Akeson, not sure he's a fit.

I think he is better than Akeson even at this stage of his career.

Sounds doubtful. Berube's pairs seem to be Claude & Jake, Couts & Read and Vinny & RJ. I'd love a Raffl -Laughton-Akeson line

Next time pack yourself a nice peanut butter sandwich out of two chocolate fudge pop tarts.

I'd like to see Leier on a line with Laughton, would really be a nice.

I think Alt or Manning get first shot, would not be amazed if Ghost was a late season recall. I think Morin might get his 9 games. Not sold either is ready
- Jsaquella

Me either but we have several defensemen that are wince worthy on to regular a basis and I much prefer wincing at developing kids than guys staggering into oblivion. I got enough of that last season.

It's buggy and boring. Every kid here hits like Michael Martinez

Me too... I'm completely with you on that. They've been using them together for a reason in preseason and they have a good feel.

I think the idea is for the kids to avoid bad habits under the NHL glare. I'm fine with waiting on them, even if it's a lost season

Softball is a school sport in the fall? Since when?

Who could put up points which is exactly what this team needs on the fourth line. We aren't getting it this season though.

Think it will Jones and Akeson, with Bellemare getting a little work in the AHL like Raffl did at the start of last season. Bellemare, if he plays well enough, will be back soon, and I bet Laughton gets called up midseason

Not school. They do fall ball as part of the township rec league.

As long as hockeystreams exists I can't justify Center Ice.

I still like these:

10-28-93
24-14-17
12-40-42
18-49-41/Bellemare

With those lines, you could give equal ice time to lines 2-4

Yeah but Rinaldo is a lock apparently. Is Umberger wearing 12 - who's 41?
