Re: Merrimack Offseason: ya, so that was fun.........
You may not see as much as you hoped. SDC logged 11+ minutes in his debut against Toronto, and only 6:47 in tonight's win over Philadelphia. I swear it seemed like he was benched for the entire second period, and was on the ice in the third for only a couple of shifts, one of which was after Ottawa had iced the game with an ENG. He did get one shot, but very late.
I sort of thought they'd be giving him more ice time than that, given where Ottawa is in the standings, but maybe the whole point of the offer was to put him in the NHL lineup now, burn a year of the contract, and then see what happens next year. To do that they don't really need to see what he can do now, they just need him to get his feet wet. Wonder if it would have been any different if that shot off the post last game had gone in...
