No, I don't think he's tracking for the HHOF right now. Could change rather quickly, but without an 100-point year or a Cup win, he'll be Hall of Very Good.

demotion

2:53

Resigning AA in Chicago apparently was a mistake. Do you think they would acknowledge that and send him to the AHL (would get through waivers due to excessive salary) at some point this season ? They can use the $1.15 mill in cap savings to promote either Nazar, Dach or Guttman.

Josh Erickson

If any of those guys force their way up, I would certainly do it. But Chicago's not in any rush and will err on the side of overbaking those guys, not under-baking them, in Rockford.

surprise

2:54

I was surprised that Bedard's BC buddy Cristall almost made the Capitals roster. Did he improve his skating which was supposed to be an issue at higher levels ?

Josh Erickson

2:55

I wasn't at all. He was close to a top-10 talent for me. Never thought his skating was going to be the issue most thought, and the offensive upside there is just simply tantalizing.

opinion

2:57

As you follow Russian prospects closely, do you have any opinion on Roman Kantserov who just returned from his shoulder injury in the KHL ?

Josh Erickson

2:58

He only has one game under his belt since returning, but he looked confident. That's what'll keep your will going in a KHL that won't hesitate to bury you in the lineup. He was money on a championship team last year. I'm excited for him to come over for sure.

Do you expect Daccord to be given more starts than Grubauer going forward given their respective performances to this point?

Josh Erickson

3:00

Oh, it would be downright irrational at this point to act like there's a tandem in Seattle. I don't care what they're getting paid – Daccord is the starter, Grubauer is the backup. At least if they're serious about winning games.

Alright folks, that's the top of the hour. Awesome questions today. See everyone next week!
