I think Dom gave the team a fair shake but more importantly, he came off as knowledgeable enough that I can respect how he came to form an opinion that I didn’t agree with, even if I didn’t agree. For example, I felt like Jumbo actually came on stronger in the second half of the season, and I started to raise an eyebrow when Dom said he fell off in the second half. But Dom explained that he did see a bump in scoring, but that was mostly due to a jump in oiSH%, and his xGF% dropped heavily.
I think he should’ve gone into better detail regarding Heed and Prout, but from what I can tell, he probably pulled the roster directly from Kevin Kurz’s opening night projected roster, so it makes sense why he set up the group the way that he did. I still would’ve liked to see him at least add something along the lines of “SJ has Dalton Prout in their projected lineup, but they’ve also got Tim Heed waiting in the ranks, and he’s an underrated player who’s shown over a decent sample that he’s above replacement level, unlike Prout.”, but compared to the other previews, this one is pretty good.
