Yes this deserve stuff kills me. He gets what he earns it is the pros after all.
So far he has gotten what he has earned nothing more.

Stecher has spunk & determination & injuries helped him get on the roster.

Subban & Stecher r similar sort of but til he is not a defensive liability no.
He needs to make a huge improvement to be a specialist on the PP at best.
Injuries though r his oppurtunity & if TG saw anything in him in Utica.

Pretty much agree here, the players have to earn it. Each one should have the same opportunities to prove their worth.

Man I didn't realize how many tap ins and soft goals he scored ...I could have put over half those in ...couple bullet shots though ...good on him
- Redmile247

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he will be our best player this season.

Is this your version of 'if a tree falls in a forest' question? Cause i have an answer.

Well to tell the truth it sounds like a bad porno title, but to have everyone of your posts mention pump and dump, well I just had to ask, must be a new to you (not you) catch phrase.

Markstrom deserves a chance for sure, no question, he was kinda screwed over last year.
Gaunce imo was given his chance for 20 games in 2015 and 57 last year, the kid is horrific, we have to move on, it literally cant be any worst. I'd rather see the same amount of games/chance given to Archibald, Rodin or Labate. hell even Chaput is better.
Cassels is terrible, he's never been the same player since his ab injury. He'll never make it, not with guys like McEwen, Gadjovich, Virtanen, comnig through, even Valk or Kunyk should get a shot before him.
With the addition of Weircoich, Holm and OJ I don't see where Subban will ever fit in. I think Stetcher turned the lights out on his chance. Unless he shows some massive development this year. He'll be an AHL lifer like Pedan.

Nobody deserves anything. Earn it. Steal games. Make the most of the games you're given. He hasn't done that.

My last comment on signing another UFA for a TDL deal....

Top 6 r pretty well known.
Bottom 6 is well not scaring anyone.
Chaput & Megna r pushed down to Utica.
Now who eg UFA can be had for the 3/4th line & standout & be wanted for a PO push? Its not the ancients Iggy Doan or Jagr playing bottom 6 8-10mins. Dank LE Sven BB r not bumped down for UFA trash. JV would be better off playing before some other hypothetical nobody & even he is prolly back to Utica. After Rodin & Boucher there is nothing to say giving up on them to showcase trash makes sense.

Thx. Being a sports junkie all my life & competitive in many sports in my lifetime this idea of deserve belongs only in T-Ball & early age sports for kids. I deserved nothing that i did not TAKE for myself & lived with it if bumped. If a Pro cannot compete & make it too bad join the big crowd before them. Thats the Pro life. If given the opportunity then sieze it or off to KHL as fodder.

Soooo.... guess what happens in GoT

Arya is such a (frank)ing badass
- Retinalz

and that little one from Bear Island.

Markstrom was given a fair chance and didn't seize the opportunity, he is a mediocre goalie at best, you will get to see Markstrom the average soon enough.

Stecher is overrated by fans that can't see his defensive liabilities, he is the quintessential Benny Hill theme song of defense, running around not knowing what to do in his own zone.

I hope they give Subban a real chance like they did Stecher, he can't be worse defensively. And then make the judgement.

no foaming at the mouth, maybe a little with the ole pump and dump tho

I'm not a lover or a hater, just give the players equal opportunities, let them fail or impress on equal footing.

Oh and if Markstrom comes out and posts 920+ or a 2.10GAA, I'll praise the Swedish ground he walks on

He was told him and Miller would split duties and that ended up being a pile of bulls&t, and it wasn't bcus he didn't cease the moment, he played as good as Miller, WD was just an idiot and kept going with Miller, even after Marstrom would win, he would go back to RM, it was stupid. You guys might be taking the word "deserves" a little too seriously, i just mean just give him a shot to earn a full time slot, otherwise why the f&*k we bring him here??

I think you may want to blame Luongo for that, and that's all I was getting at, he's not that good and Nilsson could beat him out, but let them prove who's the better goalie

Sutter wishes he had balls as big as them.

He is getting his shot. Payed back up money for a reason.
Never proved to be a starter. Playing 60 games is a starter not single games.
Miller proved he could do it through out his career.
You chose deserve so stand by it. Not in my vocabulary.

I hearya but i believe we have no room & must live with what we have.
The prospects have time to develop with our roster as it now stands.
- Nighthawk

That's fair enough ...who knows maybe adding one more placeholder could lead to a trade of another guy that helps the future

Subban is wayyyyyy worse than Stecher defensively

Really have you ever seen Subban play one NHL game, let alone 50+ of suspect defending.... didn't think so
