I hope Zharkov develops into a nice 2nd line winger who can add size and pot 25 goals.
Would be very nice, but probably unlikely. Of all the forward prospects in the system he along with Martindale probably has the biggest bust potential.
How long before we see Cornet and Rajala up with the Barons? The Barons could use some potential secondary scoring, and considering Cornet scored 24 goals last year, he seems like the logical choice.

Agreed. May as well send Hamilton down for some extra minutes and bring one of them up
Time for the Barons to move a player down and Cornet up.
It was my understanding that there is no roster limit. Just bring him up for a set of weekend games and sit someone. If Cornet does well keep him up and send someone down after that. If he does poorly send him back and hope it's a wake up call to someone.

IMO it'd be one or the other, but not both. I'd give the Hamilton-Arcobello-Pitlick line one or two more games before making that move. Also of note is that when Green returns, he'll be in a top 9 spot. IMO House would be the logical guy to bench right now. He hasn't been going full throttle as much as he was earlier in the year IMO.

Hamilton had a very good game against Abbotsford, give him a chance to build on that first IMO. Sit House and see what either guy could do playing on the 4th line/2nd PP unit.

First time I saw him live, and he didn't leave me disappointed. Only thing holding him back is his size. But I think he can work around that.
My take as well, if he can be strong enough to play in the NHL we are talking about a massive draft steal.

I think he will be too small for the NHL especially as a dman
Brian Campbell is 5'10 and less than 200 if I remember correctly. If he was bigger with the same skill-set then obviously it would be easier for him but then we also wouldn't have been able to get him that late. He will be fine as long as his development goes well.
Point being that I don't think his size will be a problem for him if he develops the skills we expect him to.

Strength > size, if he has a very strong core or can develop a very strong core then he should be fine at the pro level. His skills are very high end, so those are the least of my worries.

Yeah completely agree, with those high end skills he will do well unless he is made of glass. I don't think he will have a problem with strength, I'm sure already he's been talked to about it and is working on that as well.
