CK game is to be the last guy to touch the puck , Torts wants him first in on forecheck . It's a matter of out system not meshing with the kids talent . If he was in Detroit or Chi he'd be lighting it up .
I still think he played timid and ride t deserve minutes but its because he is being utilized wrong
To be fair he has gotten more of a legit chance. kreider hasnt gotten good icetime and he has played with some pretty bad lines. Look im not saying he has been great and i actually agreed with him going to the ahl( he has 5 pts in 5 games so far) but i just wish Torts can give the kid a legit chance because it could do wonders IMO
Why is it Gaborik always in behind the net on the forecheck? If he's going to float... can we let him float out front where maybe Cally or Step can get a puck to him in a shooting position?

I agree. Its very tough to ask a kid who is an offensive talent to totally change into a defensive grinder. Miller is a grinder but he will never be a bigtime scorer he just doesnt seem to have that shot like kreider doesCK game is to be the last guy to touch the puck , Torts wants him first in on forecheck .
