100% agree. Guys like Kakko and Lafreniere are being held back in New York and under that system. Everyone who says they're busts is mistaken, these guys just haven't been given the opportunity or trust to thrive.
@@curtismartin9054he wasn’t. Team was a bottom 5 even strength offense in the NHL this year and got caved most nights. If not for the maybe best season by goalie ever, we get embarrassed in 4 games in round 1. Kid line was our best line all playoffs and they were competing for ice time with cones like Reaves and Goodrow. Then the coach broke them up and scratched Kakko in our final game for a dude with a broken pelvis… Igor brought us there in spite of the dog shit GM/coach
chytil stepped up big but everyone sleeping on laf, which is cool w me. y'all sleeping on laf while he's significantly improving whilst staying under the radar
We lost Andrew Copp and Ryan Strom. Those are two players who are playing the face-off circle. We needed somebody to come in and fill-in. I don’t necessarily see this as a knock on Filip Chytil
@@manofthehills5001 chytil wont be this teams 1st or 2nd line center. Theyre not playing him over trocheck whi they just signed for lots of money. Thats the point. Also copp was a winger for us
@@jfleming6870 Chytil isn’t a 2C yet, he’s not good enough defensively, i still think he will do great next year. Blais-Chytil-Kravtsov is still a very solid line brother
@@mrm6923 fair enough. He probably isnt. But by signing trocheck for 7 years youre saying he'll never be ready. Thats why they shouldve signed someone short term like stastny and gone from there. Now if chytil makes the giant leaps i think we all know hes capable of theyll have no flexibility.
what i'd really like is a supercut of kid line (bust line as i call em) o zone shifts. so much promising possession that didn't end up in a goal but was fantastic to watch
Here we are 27 games into the new season and all 3 have combined for 12 goals. Words can't describe how disappointing these guys have been considering where they were drafted.
Kakko gifted Lafreniere and Chytil both a goal with his puck handling behind the net. While he had the lowest point totals on the line, everyone played their part well.
