I forget - I think Friedman on a pod from last year (?) - basically said around Kakko was that it isn't that he's isn't good, it was that feeling from the team was that he was "difficult to play with".

Specifically, he would often slow the pace of play down, and try to be methodical, maintain possession and look to set up plays slowly and carefully, while his line mates, whoever they put with him, wanted to play differently and more up-tempo, etc. and he just couldn't ever get in sync and guys just didn't like playing with him.

That stuck with me. If that's really the case: 1) he sounds like Patrick Kane (hah), which we already have a hard time accommodating and 2) what linemates could work best with that kind of player? Copp comes to mind honestly..

What chance has Berggern earned? He is Top 5 for % of shifts starting in the ozone, getting consistent PP usage and has generated 6 points. His most common linemates are Kasper and Tarasenko

Dude hasn't earned shit.

Wings are also playing like shit, if i were coach i would try all kinds of changes. For example Berggren with Larkin and Ray. I don't think that Berggren has much future in Detroit but someone might want to give him a chance.
