Most high IQ strategy to allow Kucherov all the time and space. They did the same shit with McDavid and paid for it. If the most dangerous man is in the corner you push him rather than give him time. Stupid f***ing Pk

They should f***ing adjust their system if their system allows superstars free rein in the corner. That low percentage becomes a very high percentage play in the hands of a lethal player.

So f***ing stupid. They did the same shit with McDavid and he just roofed it in the playoffs since he had the space and no pressure.

don't think it's in character for this org

same as player development, they have their way and they won't break it for nothin even if its obviously not working. insolent rigidity like that always ends up failing horribly

The fact that you think that was high percentage says a lot

Should have traded him at the deadline for some help. Instead, Blake dithered and now the value has declined so he will keep him around until we lose him on waivers for nothing.

What value did he have? Would've it been for a mid round pick, say a 3rd or 4th or like the Carl Hagelin trade when we moved Pearson who was also under performing and fell out of favor?

Idk for me this take is a miss. They have the top PK in the league with the system, which is explicitly a different system than the one mcdavid exploited. In fact, what you're asking for is actually more like the one they deployed vs the oilers.

There wasn't much skill involved on that pp goal, 2 whiffs and a lucky bounce, Kuch didn't just walk in a pick the top corner like mcdavid.

and that system is KILLER for 99% of situations

the 1% being kucherov/mcdavid sitting in kucherov/mcdavid's spot with time and space to let the gears turn

give them a different look, make them work
