I'm still very confused about sending Richard down. Should he have performed better than..

2 goals, 4 assists, +4 in his 7 games?

It was always minimally designed and didn't seem to pay any attention to on-ice situations, but it didn't get really bad until he decided a 1-4 forecheck was the best way to soothe the likely management demands that he be more defensive. One man puck pursuits against 2 or 3 players were routine. Zero support entries. What a bum. Pure laziness. I've made my anti-Tortorella bent clear for close to 15 years, AV is worse.

And the secret hidden Worst Of All option remains disturbingly available: Dallas Eakins. The final boss of suffering.

Why didn't you post 24-25?

He's not a 70 point player. He got lucky with a few of his points, but the fact does remain -- he played very well in his 7 games with the flyers. He should still be on the roster IMO.

It was more about AV, just seeing if he impacted possession.
Seems talent matters more than coaching?

Talent is the ultimate driver 100%. I've never said anything to refute that.
