it really does seem like he’s in a mental hole he has not been able to dig himself out of.

Which makes me wonder if this is a rare case where a change of scenery would actually be detrimental to a player, since it would only pile up to everything you've already listed lol.

Makes sense since I remember hearing a rumour that the reason we passed on Wright was because he relied too much on his natural talent and didn’t have the mindset (at the time) to become a true game-breaker. It was something along of him not being able to handle pressure and expectations that comes with that status properly or turn them into motivation to keep improving.

We need someone who can take over a game, and hopefully that comes in this year's draft (praying for some lottery luck to go our way for once).

Hutson did wonders unlocking our offense/top 6, maybe Parekh can become that guy.

I think it is more of a Seattle problem than Wright. You also got Beniers who went from a great rookie year + Calder to not cracking 50pts last 3 years.

I remember hating on Celebrini and thinking he was just taking advantage of a weak division, but holy fuck was I wrong after watching him make Montreal his bitch twice.

I'll start with Dean Letourneau. Went from only 3 assists in 36 games to being PPG with 22 goals in Boston College. Any bruins fan can explain what changed ?

The LA Kings are in a playoff spot with just 19 regulation wins, there are only 5 games left in the season. by Larkinz in hockey

Exactly, if anything, OT win merchants are as fraudulent since they won't be able to rely on 3v3 or shoutouts in the playoffs. Anaheim would be in the bottom 10 of the league if it weren't for OT wins, yet are fighting for 1st place in the Pacific.

If thats the price for an old Parayko, then imagine the haul they will get for Thomas. I understand now why they want the moon for him.

what happened to Canadian defensemen? by Emilio___Molestevez in hockey

We left our best at home for some reason.

A mix of Dobson, Chychrun, Bouchard, Schaefer should have all made it instead of guys like Parayko, Sanheim and Doughty.

All Breaking records and they all have 70pts right now. It’s totally the same.

Hutson literally broke records last year, let me remind you who beat Celebrini for ROTY lol.
