Der Jaeger
Generational EBUG
Thoughts from watching since there's no post-game thread:
- Power play just needs to make the simple passes. There are far too many low percentage passes on the power play, which end up going back the other way 200 feet. Make easy passes. Don't go for the bar-down shot from the side (since it rings right out of the zone if you miss). And Skinner needs to be off any future power play #1 units. He's dynamic but also causes chaos when order is needed.
- Put Cozens at wing and let him take faceoffs. Dylan needs to simplify his game and just play fast. His strength has never been playmaking and driving a line 200 feet. Just let him play a bit more free at wing.
- Sabres need just one guy to be a net front presence. Doesn't even need to be a big name. Grundstrom from the Kings is someone who I've wanted to trade for seemingly forever, just for this reason.
