I mean, this is a team that's so obviously incomplete. Trouba can't be on the top pair, Johnson needs to not be on the team, and Strome is not a 2C. You replace those 3 with a developed D in our system, a legitimate 2C, and I unno, like Bietto or DeAngelo and we're in a tied game at worst.

I was so excited about Trouba’s play last game but that’s long gone.

I really don’t like Strome and want him gone.

And wtf happened to Georgiev?

I’d say Buch and Z looked better. CK showed great speed too. Miller was confident and entered the zone with ease. KK has been good for a third liner and acceptable as a second liner on a team with mediocre depth, but that’s it, at least from a talent / merit perspective.
Kzb is the first line for a reason and millers defense.
Kakko isnt given a chance to do anything and in terms of merrit when he was given a chance this game and the last hes been one of our best players (im pretty sure he had the best advanced stats on the team last game)

Bullshit. Kakko has been ahead of Dach every single year since they're in diapers.

And Kakko has been very good tonight when he's actually in the ice. I don't know what you're looking at.

Hughes has one of his points on the powerplay. You won't see Kakko there.
If KK is a first line forward, or even a second line forward, he’d be on the PP. That’s where top six forwards play. No?

Kakko outside the top-6, Strome constantly out there fumbling, shooting wide, not hitting anybody, not winning any draws, but he’s out there. Johnson over DeAngelo should, alone, be a fireable offense. Yea, because this team is so ELITE defensively that we can’t find a spot in the lineup for the fourth or whatever highest scoring d in hockey last year. This coach is so overmatched it’s painful watching this.

What really irks me about Quinn is that he's team is never consistently ready to play. They come out one game, and I'm like how does this team not make the playoffs. Then they come out like tonight and I'm wonder what our odd are for another 1st over all. Christ!

Am I the only one who thinks Miller doesn’t handle the puck well and isn’t being strong enough when he’s defending one on one. He has the size and strength to pin people when he can. I’m not talking about crunching people but leaning on them and finishing the play.
I don’t think he’s all that strong yet, he’s very fit but he’s still pretty lanky and obviously growing into his body
