He's just not that smart a player. Makes bad reads, misses assignments.

 

There's going to be some physical awkwardness at his size or just generally errors with the puck (everyone makes them) but ultimately just lacking IQ. 

More than likely, but it's no excuse. He is getting 6 mil a year??? Geez. What a fricken' joke.  

 

His ability to think on his skates, literally, is a cluster puck.

Foote is playing the D by committee.  Myers was the low minute man with 13:06.  Hronek and Hughes both over 25


Thank god they came to their senses and put Hughes and Hronek together.

 

I was getting really worried when they were still trying McWard with Hughes late in preseason.

 

Cole just needs a solid partner. Nothing flashy just an efficient low event player that can move the puck. 
 

Myers is a third pair guy. Hopefully they stop trying to force him into the top 4.

I'm just amazed at Petey, the guy is a points machine yet I feel like he is still not playing at his best.

As he gets older and fills out more he's gonna be insane, as his strength goes up he's gonna be a beast. He's got more will than most two guys put together

I don't think they wanted anybody to be logging 25 minutes and separating Hughes and Hronek gives them better balance but with the group they've got it's the best way to keep them together.

It goes back to the nature of free agency, supply and demand.  It's  not a good way to build a team.

Nice to see a road victory against a quality team - though the point(s) were looking kind of precarious after the tying goal by the Panthers.


Even last year, always found PDG hardworking so it was great to see him get rewarded with that fantastic helper.against two players.
Kuz also made a nice play by delaying his shot, otherwise, Brobovsky probably makes the save.

 

I also liked how Hronek and Hughes were playing some of the heavier minutes and attempted to stabilize the D at certain times.

 

Happy with the result - now onto Music City - a Trotz type team that has very balanced scoring.- different style than Florida but an important 4 pointer no doubt.

 

Enjoy this one for tonight.

I really like Hughes/Hronek. Fil is more offensive than Tanev but I think that's a positive, they work well off each other on the line.

 

Once Bear comes back to play 2nd pair with Cole we might look a little better beyond the top pair.

Fingers crossed
