The guy’s whole game is predicated in scoring goal. I don’t expect him to be more than just OK everywhere else. That includes his defensive chores. Aside from the other leaders, Slaf and Xhekaj have a strong presence in the dressing room, are as big as Laine and will put him in his place if he’s being a problem.Lots of chatter about no downsides but I have 2 possible risks:
- him not buying into the team first mentality and possibly souring the culture our young players have created
- his defensive incapability's hanging our young D out to dry
Maybe those things are minor or may not even happen, but I still think they're possible downsides. And I realize those things do not even closely outweigh the possible positives, so Im ok with the trade.
