Nope, I want to see Knies with top talent, like I said. Nice try though.man you really think Tavares needs propping up eh
i tried a few ways of reading those lines then i gave up.
but given how well both Gregor and Lafferty have played maybe this opens up the possibility of a Gregor-Kampf-Lafferty 4th line, with Reaves a part timer.
what if Klingberg is on LTIR?but again, none of these combos are worth talking about. roster doesn't make sense unless they move jarnkrok or lafferty.
Even Timmins to the LTIR leaves room for only one of Robertson/Gregor/Holmberg/Minten/McMann, and even that's only temporary.
Why shouldn't he make it though? He's proven he can hang, and how much better could Laff possibly be that we need to shove him ahead. I'd rather we risk failing with Minten than "succeeding" with Laff.I'm not too horny yet. If Minten is gonna make the team it's gonna be as the 3C. So Keefe is giving it a look because you sorta have to. If he stands out in a big way, maybe he makes it but I would imagine it's against the odds. Glad he's getting a shot though for sure.

He's only 19 and just came off a season/playoff where he put up just 1.06 PPG in the WHL.Why shouldn't he make it though? He's proven he can hang, and how much better could Laff possibly be that we need to shove him ahead. I'd rather we risk failing with Minten than "succeeding" with Laff.

TLDR: Young + not quite putting up dominant numbers in junior vs having an amazing preseason. Not a simple decision IMO. I agree it would be way more fun if he makes it tho and I hope he does.
I know it’s likely better for him, but I’m so tempted by the idea of what if he’s ready…For me he has a lot to gain by going back to junior. Want to see him build on this camp and put up some real numbers down there this year. He'll probably never be a top line caliber player but developing some extra offense has never hurt anyone.
