That's why I keep lining them up with Schmaltz. Two guys who will hustle and use the middle with a skilled doodle bugs who won't. It's why Keller looked his best this year with Keller-Brassard-Pitlick. Put whoever-Hayton-Kessel together, too, though it'd be better if we lost one of the doodle bugs.
I thought he was pretty good. Better than I expected. Just keep rotating guys into the lineup. No more sitting a dozen games.
I like them with Crouse because you'd have 3 guys that will go to the net and three guys that will hustle. I get what you're saying but I'd love to see those three outworking the other team. If nothing else maybe it might shame the rest of the guys into working harder.
If they had shame, we'd have seen it in the last three years or playoffs.
Kessel has played very well this year.
I'm not as high on Hayton as some, but this is his first year of getting regular ice time, and has not embarrassed himself. RT made the big mistake of not playing him last year. Most players take the four to five years before they seem to get comfortable and meet their expectations. There are exceptions of course.
Another shitty contract by Chayka. You should never give an unproven player big money until proven.
He better not ever see Tucson. He needs NHL time. Has not been producing but has played steady.
Not sure what Hayton's upside is or if he will ever hit expectations but he needs regular ice time to develop. Has not produced so far, but has shown flashes of skill, which he did not last year.
He isn't paid big money. A few were though.Another shitty contract by Chayka. You should never give an unproven player big money until proven.
