Is he modeling his game after Armia? That's who he looks like. Slow, unwilling to get in the play physically, misses the net,

Armia is an elite sniper who refuses to shoot

If anything he's doing what Laine does but without the good shot

it's ok for big guys to float sometimes if they're opportunistic, that's just normal, but sadly he's not that opportunistic partially because his brain appears to be the size of a walnut

It’s very frustrating seeing him not using his feet indeed. I would love to see him play a strong north south simple game, good things would happen because he can dish the puck when he has it.

Not even sure he need power skating lessons, because he can have jump at times it seems…

He’s just gliding out there just waving his stick all over the place

He’s never going to fill the net, but if he can score 25 it’s better than 15 or 20. We’ll need those extra goals. For that, he needs to hustle, use his body to drive the net, and, yes he can’t get around this: shoot the puck.

and yet they signed him for big coin
will he pick it up and change before his big check comes?

You forgot to add an LOL

You don't just magically turn it around. it would be different if he was engaged and getting chances, ringing things off the post, making rushes up the ice. The kid is not interested at all

 

[Kennerback]

Ideally, he takes the puck from the board powers himself into a scoring position and shoots. That’s the whole f***ing point of being a power forward. IDK what he’s doing, what management is doing, what the skill development squad is doing. No progress. Hire a shooting coach: doesn’t even ever use his shot. No progress. What’s the point?

He's a playmaker dude not a sniper.
When did his shot didn't suck?
A few games in the olympics in 22?
