rmdevil313 is always right.

"I said from the start that Zacha is the one guy I wanted to avoid. I'll gladly eat crow in 5 years if I'm wrong. "
"But who's the best forward with subpar hockey sense? It could have been the small ice, playing center or whatever, but everytime I watched him he seemed to react to what was around him and not anticipate. Again, please rub it in my face when I'm wrong, but I'm going to be disappointed until he proves me wrong, especially if Prov becomes an all star."

idk if Zacha has subpar hockey sense. who am I kidding. he's minimally effective on office. woopdee-do.

I hate to beat this to death, but I like Zacha's game. He clearly has some skills but hasn't been successful as a 2C. Move the kid to RW. We're dying in that position and it's a lot easier to play. I can't believe we moved guys like Elias around (and a bunch of others like Henrique etc.) but Zacha is cemented at center.

It's (frank)ing crazy; but this is how our coaching staff is. Same poop all the time.

WHAT GAME?! There are endless career minor-leaguers that can play smart defensively but don't produce anything up front. Even Pan-freaking-dolfo produced some points. I keep hoping his confidence grows with time. Next year is really kind of it for him, IMO. He just finished his 3rd full season. Nows the time.
