Trizzak Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 McCarron sent to the AHL. Great camp from him though. Almost assuredly the first call-up unless Carr somehow also gets sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Stamboulieh Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 If the roster must be down to 23 by tomorrow at noon and only Condon is on waivers, how can that possibly work? Unless Petry goes on IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs rule Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 3 hours ago, DON said: See...the kindly ol coach loves the youngsters. (from Stu Cowen-Gazette piece) Artturi Lehkonen appears to have won a job on left wing on the second line with Tomas Plekanec and Radulov, and the injury defenceman Jeff Petry suffered against the Maple Leafs looks like it could open a spot for 18-year-old Mikhail Sergachev, the Canadiens’ first-round draft pick this year. If they both make the club, it would mark the first time since 2012-13 that two rookies are on the Canadiens’ opening-night roster. Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk were the ones who did it four years ago. “First of all, you want to give opportunities to young players to see if they’re capable to play in the NHL,” coach Michel Therrien said after Sunday’s practice. “We got some young kids we’re really satisfied (with). Lehkonen, we put him in a position to see if he was capable to follow the game in the NHL. He had a really good camp. Sergachev had a really good camp. He’s only 18 years old and he showed a lot of good things on the ice. (Mike) McCarron had a good camp. “We had some young guys and even young veterans who really stepped up,” the coach added. “Today we got meetings and we’ll decide on our final lineups, and I’m going to have more news for you guys tomorrow.” Sergachev admitted he’s nervous as he awaits the final cuts, adding he doesn’t want to go back to the junior Windsor Spitfires, where he was named the OHL’s outstanding defenceman last season as a rookie Oh but you forgot, when the rookie makes a mistake, which every rookie does, you staple his ass to the bench. then you send him down.

He will be a regular soon enough, let him work on his speed and skating ability a bit more. There is no reason to rush him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I will play along. Do you have any examples "at all" of any kid being unfairly dealt with in the past 4 yrs? Beaulieu, Tinordi, Pateryn, maybe McCarron? Or do you mean Subban having to sit, missing all of 3 shifts, for a selfish play/gaff in a game? Again, I can think of any significant examples, please refresh my memory.

I wouldn't rule out Carr if they're really worried about waivers. If Petry were to miss a few games and Sergachev struggled, it could also be him. Flynn also makes some sense, especially if they want to add some cap space. 14 minutes ago, JGC21 said: Too bad.

This was a no-brainer, send a waiver exempt guy down to play instead of being a healthy scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrien has been accused blamed for "NOT" stapling Pacioretty to the bench, when he has been in a slump. Subban has sat for 3 shifts and I cant recall him not playing 20+minutes and for damn sure he nor Pacioretty have never been sent to the minors during Bergevin's time. Another myth busted.

Subban has sat for 3 shifts and I cant recall him not playing 20+minutes and for damn sure he nor Pacioretty have never been sent to the minors during Bergevin's time. Another myth busted. Therrien is...conservative when it comes to kids. In fact he seems hyper risk-averse in all aspects of the game, from systems to handling of young guys. While his handling of Galchenyuk has at times seemed to border on neurotic, there's a difference between 'conservative' and destructive; and there's little to indicate that he has been destructive or even particularly 'unfair' towards young players. I'd be inclined to agree that if you want your team to get maximum performance from players in (say) the first three years of their contracts, you don't hire Therrien; and whether or not his conservative methods yield a better overall player in the end is much harder to determine. But either way, I don't think player development per se has been a problem. A lot of the complaining has to do with the mediocrity of guys Tinordi or Lars Eller, about whom many fans harboured all sorts of unrealistic fantasies and who consequently blamed Therrien when the results disappointed. In fact, Tin Man just sucks arse, while L'il Baby Lars was never, and will never be, more than a solid bottom-6 C. These facts are not Therrien's fault. If we lose a player on waivers or the trade market who goes on to explode away from Therrien's tutelage, then that might be some hard evidence of a problem. Until then, the criticism is, at best, not proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Agree, cept the risk-adverse thing and I would go with conservative. He has gone out on limb more than a few times, often to the uproar of the fancy stat crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCPetit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 As expected Sergachev made the team. The captain believes, like I do, that he deserves it because of his work in training camp. JJ Daigneault said today that he has never seen a defenseman as good as this one at 18 years old. I don't recall either, with the Habs, of course. Nobody knows how long this experiment will last. The pressure is on the youngster. Let's wish him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty kind words of McCarron I hated the draft pick of McCarron and thought he would be a fringe grinder at best (which still may be) but he does seem to be doing all he can to improve and I hope he proves me wrong. But, he needs to produce and be an impact player in AHL first, so still wait and see if last fall was just a flukey scoring streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Time will tell for sure. All that you can ask for with a prospect like McCarron is consistent improvement each year and he's done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
