Finding Hyman
The concern can be spread to Nuge, Hyman, Drai as well. None of these players have been good on pk this season and both Hyman and Drai have very high GA numbers even in EV play. Hyman particularly being the last player I would think of using explicitly in pk.Useless as Yamamoto has been offensively, I'm more appalled that he's a regular on the PK. Dude couldn't take away a passing or shooting lane if he used his whole body. He's not contributing anywhere. Demotion is earned. Frankly I'd even understand a healthy scratch at this point.
Our special teams have been huge to our success in the last few years. If our PK falters all year, the playoff race will tighter than it needs to be. Our defensive play needs to be fixed here, and fast.
Meanwhile our lowest GA forward last year, Puljujarvi, has rarely even seen pk duty, and has a huge wingspan, and tends to be good in ownzone play.
