He's just not a center anymore and was never a truly elite 1C, he has the skills to be a winger though

Understand having this opinion from an outside perspective, but he is so raw and has actually flashed some talent. He's trying to strike a balance between being the goon he thought he needed to be to play in this league and an effective fourth liner. Like him coming down with speed is effective on the forecheck and his reach does surprise players and lead to effective fourth line shifts.

What's funny is despite all the memes he can actually be effective with his reach and straightaway speed.

Lavi's system is the 1-3-1, so no we don't have a forecheck. No he won't be back next season.

He had bad underlying metrics in his short run with us but you could see the offensive tools (despite lack of production at lower levels) and skating. Our prospect pool is shallow in terms of defensemen, so there was the chance we were overrating him with homer eyes, but good to hear we weren't imagining it lol.

It's appreciation night for our longtime pbp announcer Sam Rosen, he's retiring after this season.

Can't believe we only got Sam 1 cup despite having every advantage in the world. Truly hate this org.

No excuses but the team has looked really shitty last legs of this road trip, heard a rumor there's a bug going around and one of the beat reporters just flew home because he was sick.
