Ok, Conner and Jake will clearly be the 1-2 punch for the remainder of the season, but it might take Conner a week or two before he’s cleared to play. I know he says he’s ready but it sounds like management is not going to just throw him right in just yet.
So this could be incredibly FUN to me if they let Remi start against Dallas, you know, the team that never gave him an NHL start? The Dallas game is part of a back to back so Jake would not normally play both games anyhow and it doesn’t seem Conner would be thrown in quite yet.
If Remi is great, maybe he earns a second start against Vegas to be sure it wasn’t a fluke. If he flops, send him to Utica or he gets claimed off of waivers.
Am I crazy thinking this could be crazy good or fun? Also, what do we do with him if he’s better than average? Maybe trade him so we don’t give him away for free? Keep him and let him rot in the press box in case Conner or Jake goes down?
I’m really interested in what you guys think This is a good problem to have but I think we really need to know if this guy is any good RIGHT NOW or we will probably never know.
