To be fair they looked like hot garbage for most of the game. They were buried in their own zone for most of it hahah

What’s with the lines? Brass taking everyone’s spot on the top line.

Just trade the kid if he’s not allowed to make mistakes.

Apparently Johnson could tune out and allow a goal without getting benched.

He’s not doing anything out there. Regardless of his line he’s just not doing anything.

So, since he's totally useless on the 4th line, he should be given a spot on the top line.... because?

How about the kid earns his spot. It's not like he's showing any flashes that would suggest he's capable of more. He's just not a hard worker. You can get away with being a 1 trick pony in the CHL or the AHL, but that aint gonna fly in the NHL

Nice goal but Ryan Strome is a pile of poop on skates.

When a team is in "win now" mode, rarely will you see a coach simply hand a position to a young player in an effort to develop him. IMO, other than a few flashes, I think he's been mostly awful and hasn't earned even a sliver of faith.

He shouldn’t be handed anything, but you also need to play a player to their strengths. Starting an offensive-minded player in mostly defensive-zone starts doesn’t help.

Sprong may never be a player who creates on his own, but like Guentzel, he could produce well next to high-end talent.
