I'll need to see him over 10-20 games to get a good idea of how he breaks the puck out. Consider that he's in a brand new system with new partners and he has no idea yet where forwards are likely to be.
It's going to take time before he's comfortable. It's hard to break the puck out effectively when you need to think about where guys are gonna be on the ice.
Ya it’s a possible explanation, but he had guys hitting open gaps and had his head down on 3-4 different ocassions and completely missed them.
Wasn’t encouraging to see, but again we’ll see how it goes.
