I won’t say that I’m worried about PLD becoming another Ryan Johansen , but I think his consistency is pretty lacking . Some games he really appears to apply himself and is dominant , some games he’s really sloppy . Same could be said about Seth Jones . He has the physical tools and then some , super smart player , but I don’t think he’s near the level he should be at . Some players have that drive to be great every time they play the game. I wonder if this team misses Dubinsky and his leadership in the room . They certainly don’t miss his play, or his cap hit , but he’s a firey guy that would challenge his teammates . I guess what I’m saying is I think Jones , and Pld have a lot more to their game , then they show on a consistent basis . Maybe they need someone to push them . Not to totally change sports , but one of the main reasons Coach Meyer , and coach Mick created so many elite players at Ohio State , is because they both believe that if your comfortable , your not being pushed correctly . They challenge their players in ways , that most players feel they could have never achieved prior to coming to Ohio State , because they all admit they had to get out of their comfort zone to become elite .
