So we throw Stone in onto first line during playoffs where he plays very well, gets a GwG and now we won't give him a shot at the lineup? Latendresse is slow putting him top 6 would be a mistake.

But if they start the season like that it won't take long to figure it out. I think Latendresse would be a solid 3rd liner. Unless he's in shape which would surprise me

Stone didn't get a GwG ? He had a nice assist on the Spezza goal, but that's pretty much the only thing he did the entire game. Also, it was evident that his minute were sheltered so he would look good, playing with Spezza the majority of the time and playing only in good situation for him ( iirc he only played 9 minutes or so that game ). Stone will get a shot at the lineup, but I think he will not impress enought in the preseason and will be sent down. I think he might be called up a few time during the season if there are injuries though. And I like how you say Latendresse is slow when Stone biggest problem is his skating. Latendresse is definately faster than Stone. Stone skating was average against junior players, could you imagine against NHL players ?

If he shows great chemistry with Spezza in the offseason, we never know though

Sorry meant helped gets GwG.

Stone is slow as well, but has more scoring upside than Latendresse, and tbh playing with Spezza you don't have to be too fast. Look what Heatley did lol

Anyways idc, as long as we win games. I just wouldn't mind giving Stone his 9 games to see how he does

this m akes sense, except i'd swap Greening and Latendresse... and Regin? wtf? hes made of glass brooo

Yeah same, I just can't see Latendresse playing in the top 6, and Regin will be injured again soon

Of course he have more upside than Latendrese, he's only 20 years old Stone has more upside than players like Smith, Neil, Greening, ect.. it doesn't means he should be in the lineup over them. Worst thing we can do with a prospect is to rush them to the NHL if their not ready.



Like I said, it's to start the year. Regin when not injured is easily capable of player in a top 9 role with the Sens, and maybe even top 6 for some games.

As for Greening vs Latendresse I think they are in a similar position. Both fringe top 6 players looking to prove themself. I think Latendresse will get a better chance to succeed than Greening because he is new to the organization and they know what to expect from Greening, but not from Latendresse. I think if both are on their A game, Latendresse is a much better player than Greening. Let's not forget he had 25 goals in 55 games for the Wild in 2009. If he finds chemistry with Spezza and doesn't get injured he could very well get even more. I've never been a fan of Greening in the top 6 tbh, very little hockey sense and he's much better suited to play in a bottom 6 role imo. I'd love to see a Greening - Smith - Neil eventually.

apparently crosby is working out at queen street goodlife
