I'm the biggest defender of Grizz on the board, and I think this is very overstated, especially when you look at how Lindholm and McAvoy have been dealing with the same things. A good chunk of the blame goes to the forwards because they haven't helped at all. But at the same time, he hasn't played all that well, and Lohrei gives you a chance to flip the script. Problem is any mistakes a rookie - especially Lohrei this year - makes gets hugely magnified by the media and some here. While mistakes by someone like Wotherspoon or especially Forbort get glossed over.
He's going to make mistakes. But the whole defensive corps is making mistakes right now. Let's see what the kid has. I love it.
