I can see Marty wanting to reward Montembault for having a good game with another start but poor emotional Dobes deserves a chance at redemption No matter…Just win

It goes back to the McCarron argument though. Scoring goals in the AHL isnt going to show that he is a top 6er in the NHL. But it shows a level of skill in a league that is slower than the NHL. As fast as the NHL is, this level of skill is needed, even for fourth liners. The skill is needed to make passes, maintain possession, clear pucks, everything that needs to be done with the puck in an NHL game even if its not scoring goals, cause just everything is so fast. Again, I bet he gets there. I just think he isnt as close as some thought.

The goals Florian scored last year were a nice bonus and probably unexpected. It was nice he showed a bit of a scoring touch but I don't think anybody expects him to be a top 6 player in the NHL so he needs to work on his 200 foot game and his discipline to get there. I expect that's what he is working on this year plus always trying to be improve skating should always be a goal.
