Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

I think it probable Mitch signs before Christmas. JT I’m not sure, I might wait it out a bit, he’s taking a big haircut but might not be receptive to what looks logical.

Marner effort every night? Come on, he takes as many days off as anyone else.

Nah, the effort is always there. He slumps, but always tries. Robertson for example was dog shit last night, but he was trying. Guys with motors have motors, they just misfire.

More productive every year and there are two ends of the ice that you and your hero often overlook.
Nylander had made strides to catch Marner but since signing seems to have reverted back to his part time self.

Try and be objective.

Very marginally more productive (in assists at least), which was only half my point.

But I agree that you should try to be objective.

Trying is hard to define sometimes. Nylander is such a smooth and powerful skater, sometimes he may look disengaged and I’m sure he is at times. They are all guilty of it to an extent which is fine, they are mostly human

Sure, but if you want me to quantify who tries harder, I’d take Mitch all day long. His problem is he tries too hard sometimes imo, his head tightens him up and he tries to do too much. That’s a criticism, but I never question his heart. Nylander did a lot to change my perception of him last couple years, but he still is indifferent at times, that’s just who he is…

So when Mitch pulls the chute going into the corner when he’s got a step on the D man that’s just him trying too hard?

Robertson spent 30% of his total ice time - laying on the ice.

Never seen a guy off his skates so much.

Yes he was bad, no question.

He and Marner must have been soaked by the end of the game.

Nylander had 1 good shift last night, it was his 1st or 2nd shift into the second period, he hit a post and was going full gas on his shift, I think he made 2 zone entries on the shift as well. He vanished for the rest of the game. Went from sports car mode to limp mode. The center experiment is good proof of Nylander not interested in doing anything extra. Playing C is alot more work than winger, alot more responsibilities, Nylander could easily do it if he wanted too but isnt interested in doing all the extra things a C does.
