    Funny how Duher didn’t have to sit and watch first 🤷‍♂️

    At this rate if we tank for Bedard and manage to get him, Darryl is still gonna make him sit for 4 years because he’s not bulky enough

    And by box, he means the press box, where Pelletier will be watching the games

    Not gonna lie guys he’s 84 overall in my Franchise mode. And he starts off like 78. Lol

  5. He deserves to play a game but I completely think this Darryl hates rookies thing is overblown. The guy doesn’t want to rush players, it’s good, as long as guys understand the process and trust that they will get a shot it’s not a problem.

    We do have alot of smallish guys, I think that’s Sutter leans heavy with the call ups

    In a league where size and success has less correlation than ever before.

    This team is painful to watch. Just so far behind the times. They’ll play lucic in a scoring role before giving an undersized prospect a shot… for reasons.

    The entire system Sutter runs is dependent on everyone being strong on the puck. Small young guys have a place in todays NHL no doubt, but our current system does not. They would likely not succeed and if anything create a weakness in the lineup. Having them come up to watch how the pros train and prep and playing a game to understand the speed is exactly what they need, a full time spot in this current system would likely be bad for their development and we would end up with a Sam Bennett situation all over again. At least that’s how I understand the decision.

    …because there’s aren’t any large players in the ahl right?
