Player Discussion Brandon Montour

[slip]

Does anyone actually think this guy is all that good?

The guy with the checkbook does.

Be very afraid this off season.

He has been bad recently, majorly because the coaching staff is forcing him(and Dahlin) to play a game which does not cater to their great transition skills.

that’s been a recent adjustment. I’ve noticed none of the defensemen are green lighted ever.

I think they started telling the d to do that in the beginning of the season. I feel that its part of the reason why Dahlin had a rough-ish start.

Montour could benefit from a shift in zone deployment

Good article discussing Montour's stats/game/usage.

Brandon is that you?

Hey you just wait mr. scout. He's nowhere near a finished product.

And playing on his off hand*

So he's a defenseman who's good at transition but not at defense? The article makes mention of Hjalmarsson, but I wonder if he'd be like Chris Tanev in that he does the little things right and gets the puck out and moving in the right direction? Or am I out to lunch about Montour (Vancouver fan btw)
