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.

It’s either Kuz or KK at this point. You’d sit Drury?

No, probably not at this point. Sucks, because you can see the player KK can potentially be. I’m just optimistic on Kuz. He has a lot of proving to do.

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

    • I'm left with two possible conclusions here. One, Reich just saw a sucker in Tepper and hit him up for a check to ride into retirement on. Two, Reich took the job expecting a different QB to be the pick probably through his influence of the draft process. He and Bryce seemed like a major mismatch from the get go. Unless he was just looking for one last payday I really don't think he would've taken the job if he felt like Bryce would ultimately be the pick. There was a lot of talk about Reich always preferring QBs with good size and big arms. Now granted, all else being equal who doesn't? But it was always talked about that Bryce was basically the physical antithesis of what Reich had historically preferred at QB. Hell, maybe it was a little bit of both. I can get this newbie owner to give me a pile of money based on my experience because his woefully inexperienced coach flopped horribly and then hopefully I can influence the draft process to get the QB I want. If not, oh well. At least I got paid! LOL
    • I don't think it's very accurate at all overall IMO. I just think back to the Cam era. Madden had to incorporate read option in order to even begin to replicate the Panthers' offense but there were only a handful of read option plays in the playbook. Realistically, I bet at a third of our passing plays in those days involved some aspect of read option and a third might be conservative.
    • Well that's the problem. What's "good enough" at this juncture? Have we not learned anything from our Carolina Panthers in this area? I don't see us getting a proper return value right now with the rest of the NBA knowing our predicament. Look at what the Pelicans have dealt with in relation to Zion. The best path is to revisit this next year where there is a high probability his value will increase with improvement under Charles Lee. The biggest variable is the question of how much he will actually play. We just have to wait and see. I know one thing. The NBA better give us minimum another top 3 pick.
