Hopefully he gets to play some this season. With Bowness gone he might actually get to show some potential.
Kid played an extensive period of time on the right side against the strongest possible competition. He's one of the few that could hold his head up high after that ECF debacle. Sergy'd better be permanently moved to the right side, he looks even more comfortable on the breakout and it completely unlocks his offense potential. Let him flourish at this position, so we can pair him with the top 4 instead of Girardi.If Sergachev is moved to the right, that could free up some ice time for SK, even with Coburn still on the books. I think training camp is going to be very interesting with regards to how our defense pairs look next season. Hopefully new coaching will help a whole lot and, like y'all said, give guys like Koekkoek a chance. There were a few times where he had a "deer in the headlights" look in the defensive zone, so hopefully he works hard this summer and in training camp.
I was very impressed with SKK last season. I am probably more lenient with this coaching staff than most, and I understand that Koekkoek had very favorable matchups last season, but his deployment and playing time last season really bothered me. Hopefully Bowness was the reason and he gets a real shot to show his capabilities

It's not like he doesn't still possess the raw skills. It's just weird how those skills never seem to, you know, get cooked.
I would trade Girardi before Coburn. Coburn is much more versatile and steps up come playoff time. Unfortunately Girardi has a full NTC while Coburn is limited so easier to move.
I don’t believe Girardi has any NTC.I would trade Girardi before Coburn. Coburn is much more versatile and steps up come playoff time. Unfortunately Girardi has a full NTC while Coburn is limited so easier to move.

Strange, Spotrac suggests otherwise, who knows.According to Cap Friendly he does have one.
10-4 good buddyOne more year of me defending koekoek as an advanced stats darling that never got the opportunities that players with half his natural ability were gifted.
Quote this if you want to get drunk and argue with me next season.
