@YzermanSZN Baby steps but he look likes he is refreshed. Just needs to play with a bit more grit and he will@be ok. Only prob is now we have KUB which is a better version of Z
@YzermanSZN I agree he did look better offensively but saying you would put him on our PK is scary sorry. He was one of our worst defensive players all last year.
@GrindLinePod@RPumplin The D on that side went chasing and left that whole side with hrs of time. That shouldn’t happen very often and most guys won’t make that play with pressure.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing Vrana is a point per game guy not enough mins on 3rd for that. I think SY kept him for one reason only cause fabs is hurt till Feb. he’s gotta do something here we got too@many guys now suter is basically a 4th line for us. We saw him with Z last year that was bad.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing I’m just saying his style is better then Z’s already and suits the NHL more. He will go to those tough spots drive the net and make stuff happen. Z ain’t that guy.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing In all honesty If it was up to me right now I’d put Soderblom on that 3rd line over Z in a heart beat that’s just my honest opinion. He’s a grinder with hands and can score. He will go to the net and cause problems. And he’s good in his own zone. Then what do we do on our 4th ??
@YzermanSZN @reginawing So this is why I have concerns here I don’t talk to be a dick but look at our roster look at our players there really is only one spot for a guy like Z on this team. That’s 3W
And Steve has designed it to be fabs There now. And we got guys like berg sodd at the door.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing And takes terrible shots from bad places on the ice and can’t score. He has to change his style and get to the tough spots in the ice like he did for a few weeks at the end last year. That’s the only way he will be successful he ain’t Ovy his shot ain’t even close to that.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing Nobody’s giving up on him but he’s 23 it’s time to drop the diaper and do what Ur suppose to. No more lame excuses for the guy. I’ve heard them all year after year. He’s soo unlucky he’s a driver of this driver of that. Nope he’s a defensive liability that has confidence issues.
@YzermanSZN @reginawing That being said he has a clean slate kinda and a fresh start but I think a short leash. I hope he does well for the sake of everyone that smokes the Z pipe but people need to relax it gets annoying seeing ya I’d put Z on our first line blah blah blah 🤦🏼♂️
@YzermanSZN @reginawing He is in year 5 now and a top first round pick. He needs to step it up on both sides of the puck or he will be on the next trade out of here. Way too many guys now that can take his spot and prob put up better numbers. Berg,sodd just to name 2
