Batherson looked very good first 2 games. Very confident with puck and made some beauty passes.
Hi All,
So after competing for two straight years, I've decided to go young and I think I have the beginnings of a good team in a year or two (that still seems to be competing now).
I picked up Domi at around the 12th round mark of the draft for some scoring and some grit. I know its only been two games but I am already worried about his deployment and trajectory under Torts (But it may just be Torts being Torts).
I don't think Batherson will stay on the FA list for long, and I suspect it's too early in the season for a trade (which would take a few days to get done anyway). Is it a really bad idea to drop Domi and pick up Batherson?
Reasons against doing so include that Columbus > Ottawa and would leave me with a bit of a gap at Centre positions and of course who knows if Batherson won't degrade his impressive work so far.
Or cool my jets and monitor?
