Kaliyev I agree with he gets way too much hate on here. Byfield gets a lot of praise for doing basic things right in my opinion. He makes a good play every other game and in the same breath can’t score a goal to save his life among trillion opportunities. Turcotte, man that kid is probably not going to see NHL ice so I don’t think there’s anything positive to say about him. I think Kupari and Kaliyev get too much criticism when supposedly better players don’t do much and get praise.
People love Moore way too much. People love Danault and Arvidsson too much. They dodge a lot of criticism imo.
Common sense indicates that a veteran is less likely to be rattled than a younger player , after a mistake is made.
TMac subscribes to this heavily.
When players face a persistent or lot of injuries in their career it stymies their development.
They can still breakthrough later ala Gabe.
There is no point in getting rid of them for peanuts.
No coincidence the Kopi line has been on a tear for weeks with QB.
Lizotte and Grunstrom should be traded to fix the issue you are talking about.
They would have been but are not worth enough to oposing GM's.
QB:
Needs to work on his shot.
Makes great passes.
Digs puck out along the boards with increasing efficiency.
Drives the middle and opens up space and causes problems in front of the opposition net, often not registering a point on goals.
Is deriving great benefit for his developmental curve playing there.
Moore and Grundy are both coming off injuries and Moore has not looked right.
Let's not forget they were two of the best in the playoffs last year.
as I said the playoffs are like final exams when you see how a player performs with it all on the line.
