Weight asked if Barzal has done enough at this point to make the team: "Yes."

Of course but I bet he's at wing and it won't be in BP. His 30% FO stat is not going to cut it against real NHL centers.
His goal as well was from a pass to him at the Wall and he took it and made it happen.
Just my opinion but with his offensive abilities you can't send him down if he's a bit questionable at the dot and the d zone. Again just my opinion. Also just to lay this out there he has come to camp ripped and in greAt shape there isn't an once of fat on this guy he has come to camp on a mission to make the team.

I agree.. he cannot be sent down

I know this is addressed to Dan but it's beau, he doesn't need waivers and is called up if there's an injury and 86 is gone after the season. Also Dan and Noel congrats on 100 episodes and good luck tomorrow hope some of you guys go and figure out who the hell each other are, should be entertaining

I think analytically, Brock belongs as a 3rd line center. Barzal should take the no. 2 spot. Kid looks very patient. Very aware defensively. Yes, he stunk at faceoffs but he'll work on that during the season. I really just don't see lazy Brock as the 2C

losing Kulemin to waivers wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Not that anyone would take him at that salary.

If we're looking at small sample sizes, I'm not gonna lose sleep on Barzal's bad faceoff day. He had 46.2% in his 2 games with the Isles last year. He'll be fine by regular season and most likely be above that percentage.

So far, so good. Still a lot we need to see from him. I'm liking him too.

A full season and all the pressure that comes along with it is a lot different than taking the reigns from a stooge and having a little more freedom to make mistakes.

I could see a call not going his way towards the end of the season....

Agreed. He appears to be more realistic and straight forward with his answers to the media. Unlike that bumbling idiot. Couldn't watch the game, but watched the recap. Man, Barzal can fly. That goal looked like he'd been in the league for 5 years. Calm, cool, collected and top shelfed it. I went to the Coyotes-Ducks game here in Tucson. It was good to get back to the barn and watch some hockey. The game had good flow to it. Weren't a lot of calls that interrupted that flow.

I just see a confidence in him when he addresses issues or questions. I feel like the players have been responding to him.
