Lol, what are you talking about? I never said you can't have opinions, I simply challenged regarding how important which wing a player is on, and called out when you clearly misrepresentated how upfront Tarasenko has been about his preference.I mean... sure? But the point of this board is to discuss the combinations we've seen to date, and talk about what we as fans like/don't like. Isn't it?
I don't like Tarasenko at LW. I understand that by game 1, he may not be at LW.
If your thinking is that we shouldn't have opinions because nothing is ever certain and everything can change tomorrow... then I guess I can't argue with that. You're right.
Why has he always started on the left? From what I've seen based on practice tweets, he's primarily played on the left in drills, as well. It seems like they're really trying to make him work on the left. Maybe I'm wrong...
My opinion is that we should just give him all his reps at RW. Maybe starting today that's what happens.
Are we trying to show horn him into his opposite wing, well it seems not based on seemingly trying him on both sides, presumably to see what works. If you don't think it has worked so far, and prefer him to go to RW, that's fine, I don't think he's looked bad at LW, he just looks like a typical vet that's out there to shake off the rust rather than make impressions with the coach.
