Player Discussion Pat Maroon

[gerrycheeversmask]

Monty really screwed up having Maroon serve the 1st too many men on the ice penalty.
A much faster player such as Lauko or Boqvist could have had a breakaway coming out of the box.
Even the Sportsnet play by play guy mentioned this.

Well that’s the brutal truth, right? Marchand has been slowing down for a few years now due to age, mileage, and injury. Expecting him to be the same buzzaaw he was at 26 is the problem. And leaving it all on one guy like they do with Pasta gets them nowhere.

And expecting is when he's probably had his hardest year ever in terms of deployment defensively, without his long-time running buddy perennial Selke winner that was attached to his hip for a decade.

Unfortunately this is where we see the real impact of trading away 1st round picks, or picking late in the 1st round, or not hitting on 1st rounders all come to a head.

Actually, it all comes to a head when we start drafting players in the top 10.
