I think that’s just it. He’s not flashy or overly skilled in one particular area, he’s just overall an effective dmen that brings a good two way game and can put up 30+ points from the backend.
Tom Gilbert had a 46pt season here on a team that didn't have anything like Draisaitl or McD on it. 30 pts is chopped chicken feed on a team with generational talents on it.
Sekera is absolutely useless, just terrible on the PP and a large reason why our PP doesn't work. He's not a PMD or our top scorers would get more points.
He's not a particularly good pk.
What is he good at, what does he do well?
Whenever I ask something like that its "whoa he was great last year, best D on the team'' Except if the thread was titled Klefbom the comments would be as identical, and as vague, and that he's just injured this season and not himself.
Again I don't speak Sekera but 2/3 seasons here he has been pretty meh. I don't think he was anything great last season either.
It just seems odd that all the comments in appraisal of this player is that he's "effective" and without denoting anything that he is effective at.
Its like saying a player is "really good" without delineating at what.
I don't get the "he's too skilled to be defined" either. Ethan Bear has shown me more skill and talent in a brief stint than Sekera has ever shown here. Almost every game Bear makes an exciting play. What skill is evident in Sekera's game? Overhandling the puck and getting caught? Its all I got.
