Player Discussion Justin Brazeau

[LSCII]

That's what you thought he was saying?

Can't even find that conclusion between the lines.



Only if he has to be.

I do think he's a first unit power play player.

I asked him for clarification because I wasn't sure what his point was? He's saying that Brazeau wasn't playing in the top 6, but he's spent a lot of time with Marchand and Lindholm, which would be top 6, no? He also dismissed the PPTOI but then turned around and drew a parallel between Bergeron and Krejci's PP production, which would again indicate that he views Brazeau as more than a bottom 6 guy, no? So given those conflicting takes, I figured I'd ask rather than make my own conclusions on what his point was.

As for the bolded, we agree completely. Which was my point all along. If he's a top 6 player on your team, it means there are no better options, which means your team is short of top 6 guys and you're elevating bottom 6 players and hoping they produce.
