Noah Dobson is not getting ten million for this many defensive mistakes, it happened last season, and here we go again. This is about bad decisions, pinching, him being so readable on a powerplay as he plays catch with a forward and other team easily sees it. He's struggling, and it goes back to last season. He's not a RFA, so he can wait all season for his next contract. This is not NHL defense.
#NYC #NYI #isles Everyone knows Pageau, Palmieri, Cizikas, Engvall, Mayfield are the biggest problem players on this roster. Not Wahlstrom who's now healthy. It's time to eject these veterans. Theising, Foudy prospects outskate them every game.

They have to move on from these players any way possible. I like the younger players. Foudy has an extra gear, Gauthier can skate very well, Tsyplakov looked better with Gauthier, then those slow veterans who get beat in all three zones. Wahlstrom needs to be in the lineup. Martin needs to retire, Fasching is hurt, and is not going to do much with those veterans. Cholowski looked bigger/noticable in his games, and steady. Mayfield's not hurt, he looks thinner/faster, and we see the mistakes everywhere with a seven year contract.
Roy looks like a five hundred coach, he already leaked by mistake Sorokin's injury who won't be ready for the regular season. Hogberg has been very good, but the ceiling will cave in on Varlamov. Bolduc needs to play or move on, they picked him over Aho, who will help Pens. Odelius had a few good moments. Hutton (now wearing #34) has looked good.
