Well let's say you put Byron back at Center, do you think any of those scoring plays happen with Seto on that wing instead?

Honestly yes, Sven hasn't been the one scoring, he's been the set up guy assisting on the plays. He's been the one creating, his production has had nothing to do with positional play IMO.

Not at all. Take that last goal, for example. The play is made because Byron is able to use his speed on the wing. If Seto is up on the wing, even if Byron does everything exactly the same as Jooris did, there is no burst in behind the defence, and instead at best the Flames come in on a 3-on-2 with Byron trailing.

This seems like more ******** to blame Seto to be quite honest. The guy makes next to nothing and gets more **** than any other player on the roster. He's been snake bitten but he is working hard and creating chances.

It's also not a case of someone being better. It's a case of guys being a better fit together.

He gets more **** because he's been our worst forward. Thats just reality of it. It's nothing to do with how much he makes.

There's a reason he's in the press box pretty often.

I don't think Setoguchi pots those goals though is my point. we will have to agree to disagree I suppose.

Byron has been the one scoring though, being set up from Sven.

Trust me I'm with you, Jooris in and Seto out is a massive upgrade. His presence is a huge positive on the chemistry that line is having and I completely acknowledge that. But f were talking exclusively about the 3 plays Sven has assisted on Byrons goals, I don't think Jooris being in at Center on those specific plays would of changed the outcome much.

He plays as a filler player when guys are hurt. What do you expect? I mean christ, he is doing what should be expected of anyone in that position.

I see what you're saying, yes Sven made some great passes to create the plays especially on tonight's goal.

woooooo! Granny!
