He has earned a roster spot. Didn’t say he had to be in the lineup. Do you disagree he hasn’t earned a longer look?

Though take your pick who comes out as many have underperformed.

Would also save a a few hundred K on the cap by waiving ND I believe.

The fact is that he IS out of the lineup. What’s the point of him sitting if he can play in the AHL? They don’t have to wave anyone. I can’t find anyone on yesterday’s roster that I’d take out in favor of him. So, why not send him back down? I think folks are getting worked up over nothing.

But in this case it's not about the GM, it's about the coach's handling of the player. Which makes it so much more of a head-scratcher on an offensive starved team. Torts also has a track record of neutering offensive players who later left his clutches of control to go on and break out offensively with different teams.

but it's also been multiple coaches with Frost all saying the same things.

When Frost becomes the next William Karlsson or Mats Zuccarello then we can talk. that's not much of a track record IMO.

I will say though that Tort's strength (and to some, his weakness) is that he coaches teams and not players.

If you can’t find anyone get your eyes checked would be my advice.

Who is getting worked up? He earned a longer look. Do you disagree with that?
