Trotz: "‘I’m a shooter; get me the puck and I’m going to score.’ There’s a lot more to the game than that one element."Andrew Gross just wrote out Trotz' explanation for why Wahlstrom doesn't get much playing time with Barzal.
I'll take the long answer and try to summarize.
Wahlstrom is improving his defensive game, but Barzal is a lot less predictable than someone like Pageau or Nelson, so it requires more attention to detail to play with someone like that. Wahlstrom is there yet but is continuing to improve, getting spot duty with different forwards so he learns how to be more than just a goal scorer.
Trotz hopes Wahlstrom will become a top-line forward
Not around here there's not.
