eager on the 1st line, no mps up there seems a bit stupid
also this is why you name ppl all stars then replace them a few days before if they can't go due to injury, even if you have to use the best rookies if vets are unavailable...just makes the nhl all-star game look even more like a popularity contest
I'm going to assume its because Eager has 5 more goals in only 5 more GP, playing with even worse line mates or the same as PRV, this after coming off concussion and back issues

Eager goes hard in the paint, and creates room for his line mates. I have no problem with Renney tossing him a carrot. Paajarvi had a good game against the BJs, let him build on that and get some chemistry with someone besides Belanger for once.

Its all about what have you done for me lately. If Eberle wasnt suiting up Eager wouldve been our top goal scorer since the end of November.
Paajarvi needs to show a lot more before getting a promotion.

Yeah.
As much as I've ragged Eager the guy has 5 goals on very limited minutes and opportunity. Less, even, then Paajarvi has had.
Eager brings a little bit of the Ryan Jones type random around the net. Plus good speed and not shy like Paajarvi in taking it to the net.
Seems specious reasoning if anything critiquing Eager getting some primo minutes and arguing to put Paajarvi's goose egg there instead.
I really think Renney has overplayed Belanger and underplayed Eager this season. Eager should be a 10-12 minute per game player. Same goes for Belanger.
upon further reflection.. there is probably a modecom of stratagy involved.. to ensure a good show, you would line up the "skinny" Christians first so that the lions would still be hungry for the 3rd and 4th lines...??!!??
