Player Discussion Jesperi Kotkaniemi (Part 12)

[Kojo]

why do you think he should be sent down to Laval?

To bring up Poehling who I think would be more useful to the team.

 

[azcanuck]

Yes. That's why Kotkaniemi's stickhandling actually has a purpose. Galchenyuk would stickhandle just for the sake of it. You almost had the impression all of his gliding was on purpose, so that he could stickhandle and try a couple of those ridiculous head fakes.

watched Alex a lot last season with the Yotes.

He played with Keller for a while but they didnt work out, why?

Because Alex would just skate around with no purpose. Keller is really smart and a good passer. But Alex didnt know where to go. It's almost like he didnt realize he had teamates.

So he was one and done here.

Probably coach's fault too right?
