Players Play
Not when he's playing with Larkin. It really nullifies Larkin's speed when his 2 wingers can't even come close to keeping up.
Svech is just a fill in until the other prospects are ready. I don't see any long term potential unless he make a miraculous improvement in his skating. I leave open the possibility that anything can happen considering Erne looks like a legit NHL player this season.
You don't need to skate at Larkin's level. That's crazy.
Differences in skating can actually help create openings and lanes.
Erne was always a decent depth guy.
I don't expect he'll keep scoring 9 goals every 48 shots.
I sure hope Yzerman understands that during contract negotiations.
