Boils down to a guy that is immature, physically and mentally weak who makes too much money. Avoids contact and his shot is too much of a muffin
Problem is when you take too much of the pie you're gonna lack quality soldiers to help you.
It was always gonna take a bit of an overpay to get Tavares that wasn't an issue. Matthews got a bit too much too soon but he was always going to get what he is so again that has never been an issue. Guy almost scored 70 and is a 1OA franchise C. You pay that man
The issue has always been Marner and that contract. It's too bad because he's such a fantastic player in a regular season track meet but when you have Nylander and Marner making what they do there is just nothing left to build out the net and defense. 16 goals per 82 is his playoff production rate. At 20 min a night that is a big problem
Keefe is also an idiot. Nylander comes back and he's on a line with Jarnkrok and Holmberg? Your best playmaker Marner is not playing with your best goal scorer Matthews? Your basically in an elimination game and that's what you come up with? Had to laugh when Nylander burned around a Bruin defender and sent a pass out front to Holmberg who just shot it immediately (like a guy who scored 7 goals would) into Swaymans chest. His systems and decisions are definitely sub standard.
I thought this years team adding Domi Bertuzzi and Knies Robertson maturing could do some damage but that defense is so bad and something smells with that core. They just do not have the battle levels and mix that can get it done. Tough decisions coming
