I saw an interview on Swedish TV with Jonathan Ericsson a couple of weeks ago during a Red Wings game. He talked about his last seasons as a Wing and mentioned how some of the young players had bad attitudes, noting that some of them would still be really happy after scoring 1+1, even if the team lost. His analysis was that teams today place more focus on scouting for attitude issues than before. This made me think about the difference between the Holland guys (AA, Mantha, Svech, Smith, Mrazek, and Zadina) and the SY guys (Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson, Kasper, Cossa, and Augustine). It feels like the prevalence of bad attitudes among young players has dropped in recent years, and I don’t think it’s just because of drafting higher. For example, SY asking Kirby Dach if he smokes w$$d shows the increased level of scrutiny in the mental due diligence now being done.
