One thing is for sure now gents    There is no more excuses.  DW got us the snipper and center we needed. Now it’s up to Rod. Here we go!

You do realize Guentzel isn’t a sniper right? Most of his goals are between the dots and close to the net.

Check the goals and goals heat maps at the bottom. 
 

If you were referring to Kuz, same thing though he does spread out a bit more in the dots, not so much in his later years though.

Good. Needs to earn his worth and build chemistry with the 15 different line combinations he will inevitably be on. 

I think MDC laid it out pretty perfect

Jake - Aho - TT

Svech - Kuz - Jarvis

MSF

Noesen - Drury - Necas

Good balance and a scary 4th line that can handle second lines in away games in the playoffs.

Scratching KK? That’s a lot of pressure on Kuz. He’s looked pretty bad this year. It’s definitely a reclamation project.

Guentzel-Aho-Turbo

Svechnikov-Kuz-Necas 

Martinook-Staal-Jarvis

Noeson-Drury-Faast 

 

Feels more likely to me.

The more I think about this the more I like it, If anyone can help Kuz keep his head on strait and focused its RBA, I don't think he's washed he had a drug problem if he's legit clean.... this could be a huge boon sticking him between Svechnikov and Necas

 

Should also be noted that Orlov is his best friend

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
