dudacek Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Perhaps. But in looking at his results from the 2009 combine, he wasn't doing what Eichel is doing at that age. I don't know if Kane can now clean as much or do as many pull-ups at 198 pounds, but there is no doubt he's a far better boxer. All I know is they are both explosive and fast as hell on their skates. Throw in Ennis and we finally have a line that is actually difficult to defend. http://www.topendsports.com/sport/icehockey/nhl-combine-results-2009.htm GO SABRES!!!

It's the Frenchman thing no? I think it's great that Bylsma is already breaking down information like this. Going to get started right off the bat. I'm sure this pleases GMTM. And Nikita too.

LGR4GM Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 Bylsma likes Zemgus and didn't rule out starting the season with him as the #1 center. Said something along the lines of protecting Eichel and Samson and not expecting them to play against Crosby or Giroux, or Ovechkin right away. Quote

Said something along the lines of protecting Eichel and Samson and not expecting them to play against Crosby or Giroux, or Ovechkin right away. Stamkos averaged 14:56 his rookie season. The first half of the season he was held to 10 minutes of ice time. Stamkos was eased into the NHL. I have no problem w/ Bylsma doing the same thing w/ Eichel and Samson. As the season progresses, changes can be made. Increase their ice time when they seem ready. I'm not talking about earning ice time. There is a difference between the two. I would be very disappointed if Bylsma went w/ Nolan's approach. Edited June 3, 2015 by GoPre Quote

Of course, Barry Mellrose quickly got fired after limiting Stamkos' ice time for the first dozen or so games that year. Quote

Doohicksie Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 Of course, Barry Mellrose quickly got fired after limiting Stamkos' ice time for the first dozen or so games that year. DDB isn't Barry. And he was just hired. Quote
shrader Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 DDB isn't Barry. And he was just hired. So was Melrose. All I'm trying to suggest here is that heavily limiting the minutes of the so called franchise Messiah isn't always all that welcomed. Bylsma won't throw Eichel to the wolves, but he won't be giving him the Stamkos treatment either. If Reinhart also sticks with the big club, there's only so much ice time limiting you can do with the young centers. Someone needs to be out there. And yes, they can always give them time on the wing to get their feet wet, but that last point still remains the same, someone needs to be out there at center. Quote
