I am hoping that either some kind of update or McLeod is playing happens. They have said it's a minor thing and they are just being cautious but he hasn't played a single game and I felt he was a guy that needed camp. They are counting on him to do a pretty important role. I think he is capable of doing it but they need all guys firing on all cylinders to start the year so missing pretty much all of camp isn't ideal.
|
Ekholm hasn't played either. It's pre-season. The games mean nothing and they're filled with over-excited minor leaguers trying to make a name for themselves. I think it's pretty reasonable for the team to hold anyone out of game action who isn't 100%.
Pre-season is twice as long as it needs to be and actually decides very little. This isn't the 1970s when it would be the first exercise players had done all summer. Everyone is generally pretty ready to play, so no one should lose a wink of sleep over any of our guys not playing much.

I am all for letting these guys get healthy. So I am not complaining about that.
Given the style of game and his experience, I am not as concerned about Ekholm missing time. I don't see his game revolving around high skill and needing puck touches to get the hands going as much as other guys. Please don't bite my head off because I said his game isn't all about high skill. The NHL games is of course a higher skill game than it used to be so Ekhlom of course needs skill. My comment is more based on the fact that his bread and butter and what makes him so effective is a lot different than say a Bouchard who's bread and butter is high end offensive skill. So in my opinion, I think Ekholm can probably step in without as much puck touches in game action and not have it impact his game as much as a more offensive Dman.
McLeod on the other hand, given he's a center I think could have a harder time getting going with a lack of game action. He needs to make plays with the puck, take faceoffs, pass, shoot. All of which might be impacted with a lack of games.
