Slafkovsky Barron RHP in the minors

RHP and Slaf are NHL guys though. They deserve a spot, especially RHP

You have Armia on the lineup over both Slaf and RHP, that's just a baffling decision.

Armia been a bit pissy over in Finland. Might be something cooking..

Im fine with Slaf and Barron in the minors to start but HP sauce absolutely deserves his shot right away after that performance last season. You can't NOT reward him.

If Slaf gets top line minutes in the AHL I'd be more than happy, I think he's going to come back strong and have a solid year indicative of the progress he has made and the player he will become, but also I'd rather he get 1st line minutes in Laval rather than a 4 or 3rd line role in the NHL.

For RHP (Or RHB as I have heard him be called), he has absolutely earned a spot, if he can keep the chemistry he had last year with just Suzuki, and then build that up with Caufield, he should be the first line winger the second Monahan gets traded.

If you don't mind explaining what's going on in Finland with Army?

truth is hoffman will get traded and armia has to win a job in camp else he goes to laval. And that is fair.. So if harvey or farrell outshine armia then he goes down... but hoffman produce at a 42 pt pace last year and at 50% retention someone will bite during camp or montreal will add a fourth rounder and then someone will bite. At 2.25 mil a 42 pt player is a bargain and the pick is just gravy... I can see him in chic or SJ or Ana or Ari.

Hoffman gone and armia in minors leaves room for Harvey and ylonen in the lineup the way it should be.
