Vesey is an NHL'er in the defensive zone, for starters

He's definitely still puck watching & not moving his feet when he is out there. It's like the kid is brain locked.

You just jinxed the hell out of him.

WAAAAAAA!!!
What's impressive is of late he's been the driver on that offense he's been a part of. If I hadn't been watching games, I would had a snarky "automatic points from playing with Fox" comment.
Chytil and Kakko are so far ahead of Laf at this point and look like players that we dare I say didn't ruin. Is it possible Laf is just a bust?

Im not the biggest Ben Harpur fan but his play has really enabled Braden Schnieder to be himself
Oh, thought the game was over...
Thought the Habs were tanking.

I think I figured out why I like Krav so much
He's very fundamentally sound. With his stick, body, positioning, he's always opting for the smart and efficient play. He doesn't really take risks but he also really really rarely makes a dumb decision. Being smart and efficient (along with his stickplay, which is def one of the better ones on the team) he just naturally causes good things to happen whether he has a point or not.
i.e. his entry and forecheck made Schneider's goal happen. him screening kochetkov made trochek's goal happen.
it's not that impressive and he's not as flashy or put together as I wish he was, but he's good at lots of little, basic things that this whole roster likes to overcomplicate.

The problem is, neither the organization or the player has figured out what he needs to do on the ice. With many of our forwards, we can easily pinpoint their strengths and styles, be they successful with it or not. I still haven't figured out what Laf's is. His shot? Then why doesn't he use it even when he has a chance.

There's always a chance. Look at Drouin. But I think he will pull through. It's just taking longer

I get what you're saying but honestly, this is just so wrong after that dumb penalty he took lol.

I think just like those other two, he should maybe have a stint in the A to regain his confidence. But hes not a bust. Lets stop calling 21yo kids busts. Give him some time.

Blais is done. His skating speed is just not at NHL level, and it makes his style of game useless. There is no reason to keep dressing him. I'd rather dress Hajek as a forward. Blais is that bad.
Need to cut our losses.
