Maybe just looking ahead to 2021-22.  Lets see what the kid has got.

[Brawndo]

 

Live look at Rob Ray realizing he is going to have to attempt to pronounce  Ruotsalainen and Ristolainen on the same broadcast someday

Makes you wonder if they might sit Hall.  I would.

Let's go "kid".  Here's your shot, I hope you make some people's heads explode.

I think it’s just throwing the kid a bone to see if he can make the most of it. I’ll expect very little from him if he plays. Well, the only expectation would be to not look too out of place and to not drag his line down. We have enough underperforming veterans dragging down lines. We don’t need any help in that area 😂

Low expectations. No disappointments.😬

Good for R2, hope he draws in.

I predict he'll surprise if he gets in a game.

[DarthEbriate]

Luke Eichwalker: R2! Where are you?

Arttu: beeping <I'm on the taxi squad, not in some swampy mudhole pond on Dagobah>

UPL: Rochester? Swampy? Mudhole? My AHL home this is!

 

Finally, my dreams are coming true of the possibility of an on-ice combination of :

Rasmus Asplund, Arttu Ruotsalainen at forward and Rasmus Dahlin and the ultimate crossover Rasmus Ristolainen on defense. Perhaps a "final 5 seconds of a PK with draw in our offensive zone" kind of thing.

He really needs to get into some games.  He is 23, was a star in Liiga and has been good in Rochester.  He needs a taste, if for no other reason than to show him what the NHL is like.

I agree. He's been playing all phases in Rochester and he adds alot to the lineup every time I've seen him.

I read he skated with Reinhart and Olofsson so Okposo could rest.

I wonder how they looked together?

Hoping we get to see him for more than a game or 2.

But he won't care.  How long did he unapologetically say "She-Han"?

[Mustache of God]

I'm guessing we'll see him in soon after we unload during the trade deadline.

Same for Szczechura.  He called him Sahara.  It was peak “I don’t give a *****” moment for RJ.
