Kucherov or prospect
Do we really want Cooper guys like Condra, Morrow and Kunitz? None of them have done anything worthwhile except take minutes from a kid. Guys like Panik, Connolly, Drouin or Marchessault should have been playing more not less but Coop needed his guys to get minutes. This year it's Verheaghe, Joseph and Volkov losing out to Maroon. Maroon hasn't been that bad compared to past Coop guys but he shouldn't be playing 12 a night while a promising prospect is getting 8.
He tried to ruin Kucherov but Kucherov was too good for that and Yzerman gutted the RW depth which forced Coopee to move Kucherov up. The only reason Johnson or Palat got a chance was because he coached them prior and we were so thin up front he had to play them. The only way a prospect gets minutes from him is if they are very defensive, it's why Paquette, Point and Cirelli have done well, he only plays you if you know about the two nets.
It’s a shame then I see players like jam, Connolly and miller leave and look very good!
