He's not Canadian nor does he play for a Canadian team. Poor kid never had a chance.

Well that doesn’t make sense because it is his UFA year and also it’s not like he’s not trying to score. Slumps happen and it feels like you’ll never get out of it….. until you do.

Harkins doesn't have the skill to play up that high. I would swap him and Vatrano.

I don’t get it either. Plenty of talk about how snakebit Cutter was but it’s been a similar story for Frank this year. I get that he didn’t have that first NHL goal storyline going but still

Maybe so but I actually think his physicality would mesh with McT’s and I think his puck retrieval would go well turn Terry’s.
His role wouldn’t really be skill-based, it would be a wrecking ball puck hound that wins battles and gets the puck to one of the other two goal scorers

Kind of amusing to see Vatrano and Strome in the top 5 given how they are absolutely despised
It will come for Vatrano, he's snakebitten to hell right now. Main thing is he's getting the chances, I'd be more worried if he wasn't producing and not getting the chances to do so.

It’s funny everyone ripping on Cronin (I’m not a fan either) and yet say our highest expected goals forward who plays gritty and works hard “can’t play hockey”. He missed some wide open chances but anyone who has played the game knows how quick that can happen out there and a slump being hard to break out of.
Cronin sucks. So does Vatrano when he's not scoring. He's not particularly good at anything except scoring, so when he's not scoring people are gonna rip on him. Also, expected goals don't win games.

If he truly wants to stay, this down season will help him stay. We might actually be able to get a nice value contract from him if he’s truly embarrassed with his play once contract extension talks happen.

I am actually curious if Vatrano’s eye is still messed up.
Can somebody text him and ask for me? Thanks.

Continuing on from the (prematurely) closed Buf@Ana thread:
I'm tired of making excuses for our young guys, they just need to f***ing produce. Seeing Michkov going crazy is absolutely frustrating.

Yeah I made that decision. They are not playing till Monday and with a practice coming up this weekend like to move the discussion here. Normally I’d keep it open if there was a game the following day they play. Sorry.

“Going crazy” is extremely generous. Michkov has helped Philly’s PP, but he has not had a big impact at even strength. Leo has more even strength points than him.
