@FO17GNOS He did this all playoffs, he has never tried to fight through contact. Now with the new rule changes, he doesn’t need to flop because it will be called back anyways
@syllloo@TBL_Hockey Oh I definitely think Guentzel is better at this point in their careers but the Kucherov effect is a real thing. Most cerebral player in the world and I’m not a bolts fan
@Silasmonadu@JohnCarlsongang When did they ever win? They haven’t won a best on best tournament in decades and the World Championship doesn’t count. Assuming you are counting those, he won Gold in 2008.
@bobbyfinnerty2@rmnb I don’t think they want him as a third line center on a playoff contender. I like Sgarbossa but he’s a career AHLer, he’s not a legitimate 3C in the NHL
@Hmartin1015@rmnb Most caps fans will disagree, but Lapi needs to get stronger and learn the defensive side of the game a bit more, especially if he’s going to play center.
@jaymills22@sammisilber It would be nice but he’s on a really friendly deal, in terms of AAV with one year left. His next deal is most likely going to be north of 8 million AAV.
@sports_god1@sammisilber Give the kid another year to put on some muscle and get a big stronger. He’s going to be really good, just isn’t ready physically
