Madwolf Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban will get a chance at some point this season, but as I said earlier, if camp was any indication, he needs to play better positionally to make the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a talented offensive D who needs a LOT more development time learning to play in his own end and against men. There's nothing wrong with him being sent down to get that development time you bunch of emos... I wouldn't say I was whining, but I would just like to see him get a longer look.

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban creates too much risk defensively. He takes him self out of position way too often. He also seems to have a bit if a personality issue he seems to think he is the bees knees and will create a lot of risk on the ice. He also gets angry to the point where he will get stup id penalties. I hate to say it but he almost seems Un coachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Subban is WD's style of player, but he'll get a bigger role in Utica this year and its up to him to round out his game and prove himself as a worthy call-up down the line. Its obvious management views Stecher as being ahead of him at this point, which shouldn't be a slight to Subban as Stecher is a year older, but it makes things a bit tougher for him competing for spots on the right side. Stewart got cut yesterday. I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised about Subban. Management made it pretty clear that he had a lot to work on defensively. Edit: Whoops, I got Mackenzie Stewart and Brett McKenzie mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nux4lyfe Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 From what I could hear last night, I thought Subs was probably on of the few bright spots on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that how we should look at it. Subban and Sautner will probably be top D in Utica, and play an important role for the team. Stewart and McEneny are staying only to fill hole for the preseason while we only dress 2-3 NHL defensemen every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Subban and I was hoping we'd get a longer look at him against NHLers. I can see the reasoning behind it, I just don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've been saying since he was drafted that subban is marc andre bergeron. he won't be a regular nhl player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Not seeing Subban get opportunities is kinda frustrating. But considering all the acquisitions on D I'm not really surprised. Hopefully Subban lights up the A and becomes defensively reaponsible. That's an Underdog story I can get behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwolf Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I really hope he tears it up and gets his shot as well. I've always kind of had low expectations for him, because I know it's a long shot given his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derr12 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Subban has a lot of great qualities, but one thing that stood out to me was that he makes poor decisions with the puck way too much. I think with another year or two of guidance he would make a decent option as a 7th dman. Unfortunately for him, im thinking stetcher might be that guy sooner.

Half of them perch on the edge of their keyboards ready to complain about anything. Subban imo is nowhere near ready for this team yet. He needs more work on his defence. If we were struggling for players back there, ok we might take a chance but just aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
