I just don't see it with O'Connor. He has good straight ahead speed, but bad agility. Good positionally, poor creatively. He can be strong on the puck defensively, and then can't handle the puck in open space. Who knows. Maybe he puts it all together. I hope he does. I hope you're right, and he goes 20-30-50 next year. You can bookmark this post and call me an idiot.
He’s like young Rust but bigger. He’ll probably always be streaky with his hands and not at a real top 6 level with stick handling every game. He should go the rust route and pick 2 or 3 moves one on one and practice them to death and otherwise just make simple plays.
His passing is really poor imo. Makes a lot of "hope" passes where he just sends it in the general direction of someone. If he was a better finisher it wouldn't be as big of a problem.
He’s basically Kevin Stevens without the hands, shot, or hitting ability. He really needs to work on his shooting this summer though. He could turn into something really useful if he does that.
What is this org's obsession with players like this? So tired of it.
Because this team loves to make things as aggravating and pointless as possible, they'd somehow steal game 1 and be leading game 2 going into the 3rd period.
I want to win the next 12 games, miss the playoffs anyways, and give that pick instead of next years.
This is the way. Go on a tear with some young guys actually playing that may get through Sully’s thick skull that you don’t always have to play old dinosaurs in your bottom 6 while giving SJ a worse pick.
I know what you're saying.......... having said that, I don't know what you're saying.
