Stortini is likely the best of the 3, but also has to be better. I think he has a chance of recovering what he once was though. He’s a hard worker… just in a big funk.

As for Reddox.. I’d love to see Reddox with Jones and Stortini. Why the fuck not, right? “Make it happen, Renney”

I would like to see some call ups too though. Either Belle or Plante would be good. And yah, I’d like to see Reddox here to push Fraser for a job.

Call up Plante and Reddox, play Omark and O’Marra and give them real time opportunities to learn and develop, and give team management time to assess what they have in these players. Pääjärvi might need some time on the farm to play big minutes on the first line and power play and just completely get used to playing the North American style of hockey. In a nutshell, players on the cusp must be given opportunity to play, in order to evaluate what they have to offer given the injuries and where we now place in the standings. It’s a rebuild afterall

Failed experiment, unfortunately. The thing is, I had at least hope that he would be good offensively. He’s average offensively, at best so far, from what I’ve seen. Good shot though, but it just isn’t working. Defensively.. well that’s where it gets bad. Ugly… horrid. Certainly not worth the risk defensively to keep him for gain on offense.

It’s too bad Whitney got hurt, as that crushes our powerplay. That leaves it now to Gilbert and Petry as the blueliners with ability to work a powerplay.
