I dunno yave. Ive seen plenty of Gambrell and he gets physically pushed around at NHL level and isn't particularly good at anything except occasional PK. They gave him chances in the top 9, even top 6 a bunch of times during the last 2 years. He always got pushed to the 4th or bench. At this point Dahlin, Eklund, barbanov are all far superior and there are only so many spots for kids
Not sure why his AHL success doesn't translate to the NHL as I don't see many barracuda games
If anything this means Weatherby has claimed that 4th line C spot for good and Wilson likes Gambrell enough to want to put him somewhere to have a chance. Ottawa has injuries to their 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 5th line centers lol. This is a warm body to get them through a crisis
