@VladDrag loving Rizzo right now. Not sure there's much I even dislike? I guess I've seen him try to force some passes that were covered but I'm fine with it because most of them have been good. I'd sign him yesterday. Surprised the Canes moved him. Buium is balling though. He's already one of my favorites.
They almost combined for the GWG in OT. King picked up the rebound after a nasty save.
I only have two real viewings of Rizzo from ESPN+. One of those games about 1/2 his time was on the PP. I will be watching these two at some point, probably later this week. I know they have games on CBS Network in the new year too.
I get concerned too that the canes moved him. To me the most likely thing is that he is planning on going to FA.
In terms of his actual play, lot of his highlights come from strengths other than 5v5. Not a bad thing, just want to make sure he’s consistently threatening at 5v5. I love that he wants the puck ALL THE TIME, but I feel like he could be a touch better off the puck in the o-zone. He’s okay defensively, so I wonder what he looks like against larger competition, but his defensive stick work is good.
Again this is going off two viewings and highlights. I hope to evolve my thoughts after more viewings
