Interesting comment from Berube today saying Max moves his feet more at C. Perhaps this experiment sticks. It's a nice option anyways, suddenly we look deep at C if he's viable there.
Interesting now that two separate coaches have picked Benoit ahead of Lil. Keefe in the playoffs, Berube now.
Benoit plays a simple game and when hes on, he can make easy outlets and keep things low event
He has been piss poor tbh last 2 games with dumb penalties and being beaten a few times by offensive pressure.
Lilijgren has low IQ and is soft, he doesnt like having pressure applied to him and gets rattled when the open/easy brrakput option is denied, he also seems to have little puck rushing/carrying skills even though his skating and puck saviness was supposed to be a strength in his 16-19 year player profile reports
I want lilijgren to succeed, and Berube will give him his chance now, but at 25 going to his D+8 year he is running out of time and patience to show he can be an impact two-way RHD
He wont get another 3M contract if he cant prove to be morw than a bottom pairing passable guy in 2 years from now
He should be motivated to earn the coaches trust, the fans support, and a future big pay day if he can be a 20-22min RHD who is unphaseable and gets 30-40 pts for us.
