The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

This is actually extremely impressive. If they bring a great effort into Pittsburgh it’ll be more consistency than they had all last season.

Agreed. At this point I'd say they've had 2 good games (FLA, LAK) 1 ok game (NJ) and 1 bad game (NJ). Add another good game to the mix, and I'll have a bit of confidence that the record will look a bit better in a month

That is interesting.

The rest of that was "i can give you examples". It does kill plays. That extra move to the forehand is a killer, and the D is turning their back to the pressure and losing visibility.

It can definitely be a problem, there are players who are comfortable playing on the wrong side, like Dahlin, although it seems like it would be harder for you to play on the wrong side in defense. Sometimes you have to do everything in a split second, and you are not comfortable getting the puck out, passing the puck, or defending in a certain situation.

Any interest in Liljegren who seems to be on the block? Feels like he's too much of "Jokiharju+" for my taste but he is a right shot who has had more success than our current guys

My guess is that there would be no real difference if there was a change of scenery Jokiharju for TL swap.

Sure - people can do it - they are. But it is a higher risk play for a lefty than a righty.
