you need your defenders to be able to hold there own and defend. I agree with KD about wanting defenders that can skate and have some size. small defenders that are good in the O zone put up points and get $$ but do they really effect wins.

Not an ex-Hawk, but this isn't a good sign for Kanes eventual return. I believe this is the same surgery Kane just had done, Backstrom only played 47 games after the surgery before calling it.

Dang. Debrincat is down from a hilarious 39% sh% to a still crazy 25%.

Like they play a similar type of perimeter hockey. Difference is one is a very good skater that plays wing with defensive instincts and the other is a center that can't skate and is poor defensively. And Strome is a player in the right circumstance I'm not saying this just to shit on him.

I firmly believe the Coyotes have a collection of talent that gets zero recognition because they're on the Coyotes. That top six is pretty f***ing good.

Absolutely.
The small guys, who play small and can't defend....oh they tend to entertain fans in the RS well enough but typically their ice time is reduced and they fade into the shadows at crunch time.
 
I'm here watching the Knights, and was wondering.......is Lehner ever going to play again or is he LTIRetired?

Buyer beware. Zadorov is such a frustrating player. All tools, no tool box.

He doesn't have all the tools. He was awful with passing... but can skate with the puck good.

But like that hit, he was a liability because he always took 2 seconds to readjust and check where the play or puck was at after he went for the big hit. It put him out of position too much

Because of the poor track record of the surgery Kane had, it seems like every fanbase thinks that if their team signs him they get worse.

I followed Tompkins as he was a Blackhawks draft pick, he eventually wasn’t signed, but went the route of AHL tryout with Rockford, represented Canada internationally, similar to Justin Holl, and it’s nice to see him carve out a career
