He doesn’t appear to have NHL acceleration and pace. One game like you said.
I’d like to see Bear on the top PP but it’s been pretty effective so I won’t die on that hill. I like the idea of Yamo on the first unit over Chaisson but then they are using Chaisson as net front and not sure Yamo would be effective there. The guy he’d replace would be RNH imo but he’s been working as well. PP like I said I’m not too worried about tho.
The reason it’s Klef, and not any of the better offensive D we’ve had, is he’s super predictable, he doesn’t really move around, he just sits on the wall or in the middle when they need him, he doesn’t do anything on the PP except retrieve the puck and give it to Mcdavid or Leon, or facilitate a pass between the 2. That’s why they like having him there, I’m pretty sure it’s been reported that’s it’s those 2 who specifically ask that Klefbom not be moved off the top unit because he’s predictable and they obviously run the PP unlike teams that use a D as a QB.
As for the game, meh, we’re going to have ups and downs this season, last week was a big up, getting 5 of 6 points and stomping your provincial rival. Just can’t let this turn into a slide, luckily/unfortunately the Pacific has also struggled the last couple games and we could have started to get ahead a bit, but also we didn’t lose much ground.
