alfredoh2009 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 How has McCarron been playing? any hope he can be a solid 4th line center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1st round bust seems more likely, dela Rose would be better option, as he can skate well and seems pretty good on the PK. I wonder if could even get a 7th round pick for McCarron?

Just my opinion, I would defer to dlbalr or Commandant more knowledgeable take on McCarron, but as a 1st rounder becoming a 4th line checker, still should be considered a bust. 6g in 39games in AHL also isn't encouraging or improvement we are hoping to see from him. At least Scherbak was productive most games in Laval and has shown he is too good for AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It is disappointing. If at least he could be a productive AHLer, he could do something there. But you are right, he looks like a bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We reached on the draft pick from Day 1. He never should have been a first rounder. It was a bad pick from the start and easily predictable that this would happen. If a kid isn't a scorer at 16, and isnt a scorer at 17 and isn't a scorer at 18, all while playing against his own age group (I can forgive kids rushed to men's leagues), but in his own age grou he can't score? he's not going to score in the NHL.

Probably not. A serviceable one? Sure. A centre? Maybe - he's not that good at that spot currently. McCarron should be able to play eight minutes a night and hit people but his style of play is probably better suited to the wing than down the middle.

alfredoh2009 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks dlbalr and Commandant, I was hoping for a glimmer of hope but there are less and less positives to get from this team's roster time for a re- build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
