Just because Sonny Milano used alot of backhand shots in his first development camp doesn't mean that he only uses the backhand and its a flaw in his game.

Milano, add PaLiotta

in my eyes, when watching him play his positioning and skills are good, he was up with an injured lineup getting no defensive support...

with Milano, we have identified a fairly important flaw with his game that would hinder an NHL career

hopefully that makes sense...

and in the end, there are few "right" answers, its up for discussion...

My take on the sonny issue is that I don't think the backhand problem is a big as some make it out to be. Yeah he goes backhand a lot, but he's still a speedy, (now)big and strong playmaker. He's gonna create a lot of chances using his speed and size alone and I don't think it's gonna matter which side of his stick he's using.

I'll have to see this "strong Milano" to believe it. Yes, I've read that he's put on a lot of muscle, but last time I checked he was getting thrown around by 19 year olds. It has to be a huge improvement.
