If they’re going to suck, I’d at least like them to have some kind of quality that has a chance if impacting the game. Physicality, speed, just…something.
Z doesn't have physicality or much speed but he helps where it counts most: possession, scoring chance generation, and sound defense. There's no way he's not better than a few of these guys.
Hinostroza can bring speed, and he generally scores at a pretty decent rate in this league. Worth a shot.
Nylander played well here last year and has hands.
Puustinen looks capable enough to contribute more than our crap.
Poulin looked really good in pre-season.
Pitlick scores at the best clip of all our bottom-sixer caliber players.
We have options. Dubas said he's not gonna hesitate to sacrifice guys to waivers if they're not playing well. Now we'll see how much he meant it.
