This is why he should continue to play sheltered minutes. He has a pretty effective shot, but often has trouble using it. Seeing that he's 22, that should improve over time.
The passing stunts between Kessel, Kadri, etc isn't working. Those other than Kessel need to be scoring.
This is where Morgan Rielly would really make a difference on this team, no one can do what he does in the entire Organization.
Replacing Gunnars, of course. If he's going to be Phaneuf's partner ( quite possible), he'd have to be much stronger.
There were suggestions that he isn't strong without the puck. That has to change. I think with his skating and positional game, he doesn't have to be physical. Lidstrom wasn't, but his game without the puck was phenomenal.
