I just want them to give prospects that are performing at a elite level in the AHL an actual shot with the team.

Phillips, Pelletier, and Zary have all earned a look this year. Wolf too but tougher to find room for a goalie.

Also I just want some actual honestly from the coach and organization. I'm sick of Sutter blaming everything on "young players" when guys like Lewis or Lucic also have a terrible game.

Sutter is a great coach, but he needs to be open to evolving a bit if this organization is going to take a step this year. A 4th line of grinders can work, but it's not a sin to maybe dress something like Pelletier-Ruzicka-Lewis for a game to see if the young guys can provide a spark and some offense.

The whole organization IMO is too afraid of risk when it comes to on-ice decisions. Too safe.
