Bringing in hanzal and white was a collasal mistake. It changed the rotation of lines completely and changed the third line from a fast quick line into a slow plodding line that couldn't defend up the middle.
-
But his contribution is still more important than what nino is giving us.

Fargo, I don’t think I have ever read a post of yours that was more accurate! You hit that square on the head.

After lemaire left it seems the wild try to let players play through slumps. Now it seems like you get more ice time and pp time if you are in a slump. A week of would probably do more good.

If you sent him down would he have to clear waivers? I hate it when guys get premium ice time when it's not deserved.

I think granlunds issues early in his career were due to his bad face-off technique. At wing he doesn't have to take as many and the rules are enforced better now. -

Not score, not defend, not forecheck.

You may be on to something about cl, however I think the issues of letting good players go while keeping players who flatten out or disappear has more to do with listening to bad scouting ta!ent and favoring a players sellability over production.
-
If the line that Nino is on scores, does it really matter if Nino doesn't? As long as he contributes let it ride, if not, either move him to a checking line or trade him. My biggest issue, unless he has changed recently is his total fear of contact.
-
If you really need to earn it, maybe they should send nino down to.
-
My point wasn’t that it never happens, just that it happens so rarely you don’t expect it.
-
I just watched a highlight reel on nhl.com. Not routine. Why is it I have the feeling I will never see a wild player make anything near what I just watched.

I'M going #1 Zucker #2 granlund#3 dumba #4 spurgion #5 Parise. A thought for a speed line. Granlund, Zucker, Parise. Staal, Nino, Coyle. Koivu, Ek, Greenway.

Well good for him. While I think he may be overrated at times, we do need him at center.
