And I’m going to say he hit a wall because of his linemates. Obviously he needs to play better, but at the age of 19 and being a project, they need to put him in more ideal situations. The only thing he’s learning right now is “don’t pass it to Anderson, he won’t do anything” and “get out of Newhook’s way since even Newhook doesn’t know where he’s going”.
I’ve seen a lot of bad lines as a Habs fan, and the lack of chemistry between those three is glaring. You can’t put three guys who have no idea how to play their positions together.
I really like MSL, but no one has worked with Caufield and Suzuki, and Slaf clearly needs a good C to play with, yet MSL won't even try Slaf with them for a bit. Even Armia got some time with them.
