RC is for a dump and chase type of game. In other words, he never was a possession-driving coach. The truth is our roster is actually built for possession, but with speed. If utilised well, we should be outscoring our opposition.
The idea that Kessel isn't a puck possession player, because he plays at higher speeds is flawed. While, it is true that he's not going to slow things down, but when it comes to working the puck...he's elite.
ok, I understand what you are getting at
I can see that folks are now delving into the world of "what does possession game " really mean and to whom, like the retool/rebuild debates.
How ever one wants to interpret, split hairs or parse that meaning or intention out, I'll just leave it this way.
By all that I see and know of this roster, "it won't work, won't amount to what some here think it will"
We just don't have the type of horses that have the ability to hold the puck long, retrieve the puck in traffic and the corners.
