Auvitu has been passed on the depth chart in Albany by Jacob freaking MacDonald.
The infatuation people have over him due to a brief 10-15 game stretch to start the season is mind boggling.
Because Coaches are incapable of making mistakes in player evaluation right? I mean it never happens. He was averaging a point every two games in the AHL while consistently getting the most shot attempts amongst our defenseman. If he was getting benched for that, I really have no idea what that's about.
Making a few plays means zip if the majority of your ice time is a disaster.
If you have some of the best corsi numbers of the team, there's statistical evidence the majority of your ice-time isn't a disaster. In Lovejoy's/Moore's case it has been, not in Auvitu. Auvitu simply doesn't have the NHL style of game that our coaches want. I think it's a mistake, but like everyone said there's not point in talking about it anymore so this will be my last time mentioning it. He doesn't have a spot on this team with this staff/regime. I think it will come back to hurt us and he'll turn into a very nice player on another team, but it simply won't get to happen here.
