Moving Laf up is accountability? 4 penalties in the last 8 games. 0 points in the last 5. That's accountability? That's moving a guy up based on his age and draft status.
I think the one today was a cheap call. Atleast he skated in on the forecheck and tried to get physical. Hard to get points playing bottom 6 in a role yur skillset doesn't fit with 0 PP time.
 
Too many not so good forwards on the team. Vesey, Laf, Kakko, Gauthier, Blais, Kravtsov. At least half of them have to be replaced with better players. Trades have to happen.

The problem is Lafreniere is probably so down on himself right now that if you bust out the accountability now after a game like this it's completely possible he breaks and is lost to this coaching staff/team forever and becomes someone you need to trade under bad conditions.
 
I agree he's not an invisible man.........he's far far worse. The worst kind of poison you can have on a team. Yeah he can score points once in a while but he also floats a ton and is just a drag on the whole team.

Being 14th in league scoring is scoring "once in a while."? Is every player expected to be Connor McDavid?
 
The 11 million dollar invisible man has two assists tonight, leads the team in points, and has more points than Laf, Kakko, and Chytil have combined.
So insanely underrated by this board. Tbh I think it’s largely a cope to shift blame from our 1st & 2nd pick busts. If they were putting on Panarin numbers our fans would be boasting about how everyone was wrong and they’re not busts.
 
He can't make a play because he's terrible. If he could make a play he would, but he hasn't since about game 3 of the season.

He's shit. You can only blame the coaching staff so much for a player that can't make a pass on a 3 v 2. At some point, the actual player has to have some accountability. And yes, that also includes taking a penalty in the damn O-zone.

add our #9 pick to the mix and I might start agreeing with you

It is not hard. Plenty of players score at a reasonable rate in a bottom six role. Look it up. I'm not going to do it again. I already did yesterday. Not to mention his two most common linemates this year are Trocheck and Panarin anyway.

Isn’t that what 90% of this fanbase has wanted though?
 
I'm streaming this now as we watch a different show, so my feed is delayed. This is a positive so I am not one of the first to see more of this nightmare.

Better than our top guys gliding and being overfancy and doing nothing other than turning pucks over and ditching on backchecking or any defensive prowess be ause you want to glide and conserve your energy until you need to turn the puck over again or skate to the bench on the next backcheck
 
Just turned the game on
