Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Hasn't produced as much lately.
Has the NHL grind gotten to him or just snake-bitten?
Neither. He's just plain not playing well. Doesn't feel like either of those things is an explanation for it.

He will not shoot the puck when he has an opening so the defenses just back off and play the pass. He has a good shot if he would just use it, and if he would shoot more it would open things up as well as create rebounds for others to score more.
Broken clock.I don't often agree with CR. But he does have Wennie the Pooh nailed on his continuing and illogical refusal to shoot the puck.
So, worst case scenario, he ends up a better Brassard? I'm ok with that, especially if you take Foligno off his line put Cam or Bjork up there with him.
Wennberg...0-2-2 in his last 11 games. Guess he doesn't want to get paid this summer.
I suppose I agree with the idea of him shooting more, but I tend to think that about everyone. I'm of the older school camp where any shot is a good shot, but I do understand how goalies have changed.
I've no problem if he continues to play this way for a long time. I don't really understand any burning desire to get more goals out him. I don't feel like the team lacks in goal scoring and I imagine he'll develop into the type of guy that is simply more of a playmaker. Seems to have worked out for guys like Backstrom and Thornton.
Syndrom of late Johansen?He looks so passive sometimes and it's annoying. That shootout attempt last night just looked so lazy.
How about this? He is a good but not great player. He is NOT worth the $ 6 million dollar a year contract as some on here have discussed. He is a good complementary player who needs other, very good to excellent good players on his team to support him. Kind of a Ryan Murray among forwards.
I'd agree.. His play has really slowed down over the last couple of months in my opinion with the powerplay. He seems slightly more willing to shoot the puck this year, but i'm still not greatly impressed. He's a good skater, finds some good lanes... But, I don't think of him as a "driver" of a line.
That shootout attempt against Washington was just WEAK.
Of course, he gets signed to a contract.. But, I don't think he gets a long-term deal or near as much as many of us on here had previously speculated earlier this year. Much more affordable contract now.
