According to twitter, he might be back as soon as next week. *fingers crossed*

I think he'll be back by the 3D week of January..

The stat line is impressive, for sure, but let's see him in camp and pre-season before we start heralding him as an upper end prospect.

I dunno, you can't really call PAP a "fringe NHLer" when he's right up there with Gaborik in points per game this year and he's a decent guy on the PP. He's going to be around for awhile.

Dumb question of the Day;

Will the AHL all star game be televised/streamed somewhere?

He has 7 goals and 25 assists feeding John Tavares, and to a lesser extent Matt Moulson.

And that's all he does. He's a top 6 talent only on a bad team.

[Glennsoe]

Zuke was interview by Norwegian media about the game and said;

- It was fun to be chosen

- the game is the highest praise to get when playing in AHL and it shows you've done good so far..

- he wasn't sure if the game meant anything regarding his future..

totally agree. wolski or zuccarello could probably get points on a top line with the isles. on a good team, those guys are fringe. they actually couldn't handle a bottom-six role.

[Vitto79]

so JAM made the All Start team , that will get him a 2 way deal for sure...........Zuke is getting himself traded so he can play in the NHL......good for them

As per ctwhale.com :

The 2012 AHL All-Star Classic will feature the top young talent in the American Hockey League competing in an internationally televised showcase from historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City

Right. That really doesn't happen by accident though. None of you guys give PAP any credit at all. First it was that he never got a chance. Now he's getting that chance and he's producing. Sure, Tavares and Moulson help, but it isn't automatic.

Cheechoo won the Richard with Thornton.

Sometimes sub-par players can play way above their head.

[Jarkko Immonen]

Yeah, and he's had a backwards career. When Parenteau stops producing, we'll talk.

When the Isles make the playoffs with PAP on the top line, THEN we'll talk.

Cheechoo wasn't sub-par. Hell, he scored 28 goals & 19 assists in one season playing with the California equivalent of Boyle & Prust on the Sharks prior to playing later with Thornton. He was never the same player after his knee injury.

Glad to hear it........

[YoungD4]

It's good zucc is playing well can be our good chip in a trade

[sankaa]

Would be awesome if Zucc had made it in nyr, but i think he will get traded to a team like columbus, edmonton, devils or islanders.

Really hope so, he has shown he can play at an nhl level.

[NYR Boyler87]

I was just thinking about the Whale as the season progresses and everyone (Hopefully gets healthy) and how absolutely stacked they will be by playoff time:

Offense:
MZA
Newbury
Deveaux
JAM
Christensen/Hagelin/Mitchell (Someone needs to be sent down eventually)
Kolarik (Hopefully he will be healthy)

Coming from Juniors:
St. Croix
McColgan
Yogan
Thomas

Coming from NCAA:
Kreider

Defense:
Bell
Redden
Nightingale
Valentenko
Parlett
Erixon
Woywitka
Bickel

Coming from Juniors:
Noreau
Ceresnak

We never trade with the Islanders or Devils.

[Glennsoe]

I think Edmonton could be good for him, playing with Hall..

Well, it looks pretty well stacked if you ask me!
