Shagged Yer Nan
Tom Filthson
Here's the deal with the kid in my opinion using three phrases; Fast, high-skill, low confidence. When on top of his game, he's a solid 2LW, maybe 1st given the team. When he's not, I don't want him on the ice. He has struggled mightily finding consistency, showing glimpses of brilliance one night and not knowing which was is up the next. He's a bit of a mental midget in terms of confidence and it's known he's been seeing sports psychiatrists for years. He gets in his own head and can't find a way out. I think a change of scenery would be great for his game by moving him to a team that needs speed and skill. It's clear the Caps don't trust him and I believe this might be the cause of his low confidence.
The Caps really have no spot him on the roster as he doesn't fit into the top 9 and he doesn't play the 4th line role well. He was scratched last night and I have to believe the Caps will be looking to move him before the deadline since he'll become a RFA at the end of the season.
What do you think his value is? For teams in need of a LW, what would you offer?
