At the most you get a brief glimpse of a player and you certainly don't get enough views of every player to compare to how gassed they get compared to Michkov during a televised game. Honestly, why do fans do this? I wouldn't believe Tortorella if he told me the sun was coming up tomorrow.

What you're posting isn't just your opinion. Tell me that you're getting enough views of all the players as well as Michkov shift after shift to form the conclusion and the opinion that Michkov looks more gassed than the rest of the players do? You know you aren't and what you're saying is just conjecture and confirmation bias.

This is a zero win argument that I don't wish to continue. Although I will leave this here.

Every player goes through that in a season. Michkov is just trying to fit in with the team and not rock the boat with the lunatic head coach. Normal adjustments for any young player. Michkov is not tired.
Nobody's arguing that there is a lack of high end talent on the roster we're just disagreeing on timelines and how to get it. You want to tank I get that. I disagree.

If Michkov is gassed then you sit him a game here and there, not play him every game but only 8 minutes a night.
I think there have been some games where he was not handled correctly but overall, Michkov is 2nd in the league in TOI/GP among all rookie forwards. Second only to Celebrini

How much of that is weighted to earlier in the season when Michkov was actually getting decent playing minutes? Plus, Michkov is a year older than CelebriniI think there have been some games where he was not handled correctly but overall, Michkov is 2nd in the league in TOI/GP among all rookie forwards.

They have picks. They will have cap space. The rebuild is happening, just not exactly the way you want.

They've always had picks and cap space. When those things are used stupidly by stupid people, then the team goes nowhere. They're affirmed this many, many times for many, many years.
Yes, it won't happen the way I want. 1) because they aren't rebuilding, and 2) because they're going to do stupid things, and I want the team to try doing smart things.

Reads more to me that Michkov is receiving better coaching off the ice for media responses (this is such a canned, expected response - he is not going to speak out against anything Torts says or coaches) than he is receiving on the ice, considering how much his game has cratered due to a defensive dinosaur coach who has no idea how to use a player like Michkov.
No we wan them to unload the players who aren't useful when the rebuild is complete and not trading players who may be useful. Because who's to say Torts would still be here as coach.
