Different players + different situations + different weaknesses + different strengths = different training needs and development needs.It's just weird to watch lot of NA guys skate during summers and praise it, hire skating coaches and then listen to a hf poster basically say it's pointless.
When those guys are training with the best in the business and guys who are professionals.
Canada/USA have the CV in this World, they keep producing elite players with elite skaters year after year, not Finland or Rautala.
I could be completely wrong here but I don't think the Jets were perfectly happy in the shape Laine was at the start of pre season/regular season.
And to make point clear, no one has said here stop the off ice training, I've defended Rautala in the past, but dammit add skating practises into the mix.
But this is just going to drive people crazy here so I'll stop with this skating argument.
This is what you just don’t seem to realize here. I will leave this skating debate also from my part to this comment.
