Need a depth NHLer?

[Lee]

I'd like to call up Miele, but all of my center slots are full. I'd move Rod Pelley or Brett Sutter for the best pick offered.

[Shep]

He played like 6 minutes last night. Why waste your time?

[Lee]

Because I'd had a stiffy for him for a long time. Phoenix has this rule where they can't have more than one offensively talented person in their lineup at once, so he is just biding his time.

[Shep]

Oh I agree, but I mean why not wait until he's getting ice time to be effective?

[Lee]

At worst, he is still more productive than the people I am trading away.


Damnit, now I won't get a first for them. Clever play, Shep. Clever play.

Yea, I'm with Shep here. If you're trying to win, a rookie centre like Miele on a Phoenix team shouldn't be in your line-up. Once he starts to produce, play him.

Possibly -- likely -- true. I'd have to look at the raw #s, but I think Pelley does a little bit more than Miele does right now. At least peripherally.
