I think the possession metrics are too hard on Goodrow and Schneider this season, and perhaps too charitable to Kravtsov. But that leg of the stool (Possession, traditional, eye) seems sound this year.
Goodrow has frankly been pretty good- it's that our utter lack of a real 4C and Vesey/Kravtsov's presence has been keeping him out of the top 9 a lot.
I look forward to seeing what we can get for Goodrow and Trouba this offseason if either is willing to waive.
As for the kids, as badly as Laf has performed, we've got two defensemen here who had we taken them 1st and 2nd overall (Fox, Miller) I don't think too many people would be unhappy with either of them.
Maybe Kakko is just a 40-50 point two way player. You know what? Teams need those too. Just means he won't be leading our offense in every game ending situation.
