Don't like Taormina. I think those 5 points or whatever were just lightning in a bottle. He's small, isn't a particularly good skater and is pretty much useless in the d-zone.
Call up Urbom. Pair him with Volchenkov.
Tallinder - Fayne
Salvador - Larsson
Urbom - Volchenkov
Just replace Sal with Greene when he's good to go.
I can't argue about your other statements on Tao but his offensive ability is something I don't question. There is no doubt he has puck skills as he's displayed them on multiple levels already. The question is whether he can take the next step defensively or whether we(or anyone else) use him as a situational player. I do think there are area's where his abilities would certainly help our club.
I mostly don't like him because he reminds me of the Maclean "era", no matter how brief. Yeccccch.
I don't know why Noreau didn't hang around for a shot... Seems to be doing fairly well in Switzerland.
Probably took one look at the excess amount of dmen we had and wondered where he fit in. Also probably slightly more money over in Switzerland.
Plus Swiss girls are hot.Originally Posted by devilzrule27
Fraser's playing? ALRIGHT!
I would prefer to call up Urbom over Taormina if we had to call someone up. Urbom has been playing well in Albany and can play on both sides of the puck.
I like Urbom, but he's got work to do.
Oh there is no doubt he has work to do. I would just be more comfortable with him than Taormina. I think I would be more comfortable with him than Fraser too. From what I've read he has made a nice improvement this season.
I think he's a mid-season call up tbh.
