Michael McCarron called up

[DonKay]

Long term I want him as no. 2 center.

I don't know if he's got enough offensive upside.

I sure hope he doesn but his all around game seems to be suited as a good two way center a la Jordan Staal pittsburgh era

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

He can steamroll Lars if he gets annoyed by his play.

what will he do when Larshole steals the puck off him?

 

[browniepoints]

I'd mount Winona too

Count would mount a snake if the game warden was not around.:smile(21)::smile(21):

 

[Sal_Butera]

From what I've seen of MMs play albeit limited, he depends on others for playmaking anyway.

 

[browniepoints]

Maybe they are bringing him up to showcase for the big trade

nah too risky

if he comes up and is terrible, lowers the value, better to leave him in the minors where he shines

 

[Krustchev]

You are always saying we are too small, which we are, but now you seem pissed that we called up a big boy.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I'm mad that a season that started so well is being flushed down the toilet because our GM didn't solve the right wing issue last summer, and that we are yoyoing guys up and down in a desperate attempt to make up for Bergevin's failure.

 

[Krustchev]

Fair enough.

?????

 

[GrandWazoo]

Eric Engels suggests McCarron will centre Eller & Andrighetto, with Chucky staying with Pacioretty & Plekanec.

Was he playing with Andrighetto in St-John's?

 

[GEEMAN]

I'd love to see him send DD packing

Me too

 

[Habs4Life]

Looking forward to see him play

But it is only Decemner. MB will acquire someone.

Will it be the right someone?

He should of been brought up sooner , we keep bringing up clowns like Thomas and Holloway that were useless with no future , give Mac a legit shot and utilize his size and crease presence on the pp . We can't score on a soccer net right now but doubt this knob behind the bench will utilize his strengths.

 

[Habs-25]

I am Ok to see Big Mac with Eller and Ghetto, as long as he plays at center i am Ok with, i guess there is reason he won't play(at least for now) with 27 is they didn't want put too much pressure on kid, let him play as 3rd line pivot and against 3rd line of opponent and slowly move him up if he does well.

 

[wiseguy1]

Would have never expected this heading into the season, but he's earned the call up.

The only concern is he's been much better as a centre and we don't really have a need for one (unless Chucky stays at RW on the top line for the time being).

Well, there was nobody else they havent tried already, he is the last of the Mohicans.

 

[Krustchev]

Hopefully. BTW, Xpo, you owe me an apology re McCarron after telling me here that he wouldn't be called up this season and I told u that outside of my city's NBA team, pro teams do what it takes to try and win.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

We shall name him Chingachgook
