What I hope with Raymond is to see him just 5 on 5 for now, we have to many capable bodies that slot ahead of him for PP time but seems like he is always on the 2nd unit when he dresses. I think the PP is a huge key to what will seperate us from being middle of the pack vs elite and with Johnny/Mony/Huds already a lock on the top unit it makes slotting the three guys for the 2nd unit a huge decision. Hoping to see Bennett with guys like Frolik, Ferland, Backlund even Jooris or Jones before ever seeing Raymond on the PP.
Not trying to take anything away from Raymond here, he did play a great then quite, solid 60 mins in Van on Saturday, he handeled the waiver placement well, but lets see him truly earn his keep when he plays.
