Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
No one is complaining that Anderson isn't centering the top line. We complain because guys like Nyquist and Tatar who have more than proven themselves in the AHL are not given a chance to strut in the big leagues.
Lashoff has never really shown anything other than being a bottom pairing kind of guy. Yet was given significant time with Kronwall.
That's the difference. We are talking about expectations based on past performance.
What about expectations based on past performance when it comes to Kindl? Lashoff in 2 dozen games has shown more than Kindl. Sorry if that hurts some feelings. Protip: your pet prospect doesn't always live up to the hype.
