i believe his days are numbered. if there was an offer, i think he's gone. change of scenery move incoming.
its on him at this point, he never really developed and this is his big year to really show his stuff but he hasn't and so i believe he will be moved or head back to russia.
shame, kids got talent but i question his heart and his ability to play up to the standards that quinn has set. hes being "yo-yo'd". he seems like a sensitive kid and I'm not sure the tough love thing is working. his attitude is probably less than desired but how can you blame him ?
21 continues to play and these guys read the numbers. production doesnt need to be research from some secret scroll. its right out there. 21 has been bad for a long time now and 89 knows this too.
meanwhile, pionk is a metrics nightmare, holden looks like he forgot how to play the game, ADA is quinns favorite whipping boy and lias andersson can't even get into quinns doghouse because he cant even stay up long enough to be accused of "not doing enough".
i blame buch for lack of production but i blame quinn for playing him with plugs and never really letting him settle into a comfortable spot. same with ADA.
buchnevich needs to play with talent. if hes on the 4th line, hell suffer. he isn't a banger and he isnt a physical player who will primarily check and create off turnovers. hes creative and has a good set of hands burt needs to play with other talent. he hasn't gotten that consistently enough.
playing him on the 4th line with sheltered minutes doesnt really play to his strength.
imagine how bad pionk would be if he were given the same treatment as buch and ADA.
but the teflon 44 continues to dance in the rain and never get wet.
