Sure he's undersized but we need a playmaking defenseman more than anything else right now and he's the only guy in our entire system that can put up good points from the backend. I know he is a bit of a risk on the defensive side, but if we put him with Tanev or someone that is very responsible back there, we can finally have someone to move the puck around and score some goals from the blue line! Give him a chance JB, for the love of Wayne. In the spring, JB did say that Subban is in line for a call-up this year. But that was before signing Stecher and the Gudbranson trade, which have changed the landscape on the right side more than a bit. At the rate our D get injured, though, it could still happen. The main thing is for Subban to keep progressing on the defensive side of his game. There's going to be major competition between Larsen, Stecher and Subban for a PMD role on the right side. Whoever can defend best while still playing that role gets a leg up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
