I just don’t agree with that. Center is too complex of a position for that to work in a role he’s needed in. If he was a 100 point guy, you live with it. As a 65 point guy… you need him to actually play defense in a team with aspirations.

I hate that this made me think of Mikko..

Wait, are you saying Dach is similar to Strome, because they had both of them right?

Not exactly the same, but same cloth. Big rangy centers with a lot of skill, but little motor and defensive ability.

I'll be honest, I'm not even postive Mikko is a 100pt guy on another team without Nate and Cale feeding him. And I wonder how much his floating would be tolerated by another coach then.

Rants would be a 90-100 pt player on most contenders and coaches would be just as tolerant. When you have that much talent, you just accept a player's flaw.

But I do think you'd see a different Mikko if he was expected to play 18 minutes a night instead of 23 minutes.

I'd really like to see that Mikko... playing either on our second line or for a team in the east this spring.

Yes, I think he would be. Big, rangy wingers with elite passing and shooting skills don't grow on trees. Put him on a team with a legit #1 center and a legit #1 blueliner and he'd thrive regardless.

But that's not an issue because Mikko's not a center. Probably reason #1 as to why he didn't work out as a center.
