Player Discussion: Jake Guentzel

[Sky04]

PPG and hasn't really even hit his stride. Still feels like he gets on the board every game though.

Also he's the top producing UFA this year...?

 

[Stammertime91]

Man, I don't know what you guys want. Guentzel's been a PPG player for us so far.

We should fire Cooper because Guentzel is only a PPG player. He should be at least at 2ppg right now and in the running for the Vezina with a 20-0 record. This is ridiculous.

 

[Maelmoor]

Guentzel is definitely an upgrade over Stamkos in the 5vs5 game, so I'm really pleased with him so far!

I was pretty honest when I said I haven't had a chance to watch the games more closely. I didn't even say my opinion was right. It was more me asking what people who have paid better attention thought.

He's been very good, IMO. As advertised, if not a little better.

I don't like how we always put all of our best players together even when some of them show chemistry elsewhere. I wish we would be willing to play a guy a little lower now and again to create more depth.

I'd like to see us use Guentzel on a lower line. Might hurt his numbers, but I think it would help the team.

Like you said, I'd like to see him with Paul again. It was a miniscule sample size but there seemed to be something there.

Right. I mean, i know Guentzel is great on the top line, but Point and Kucherov don't need much help. Hagel looks like he may have taken yet another step, and Cirelli has either gotten a little better or Stamkos really was dragging down his numbers.

Hagel-Cirelli-X

OR, if we must load the top six...

Hagel-Point-Kucherov
Guentzel-Cirelli-Paul
