Can't speak on behalf of all the other teams,but in Montreal,they have 2 centers that at this point more sound defensively than KK.
Okay, thats true, but when youre building a team you have to think of whats best for your team. Whats best isn't playing a 3C over your potential 1C.
On the comparisons, every single team also had centers more responsible, yet they choose to play the kids over them, and now look at where they are.
Barzal was on the same team as Tavares, didn't stop the Islanders from giving him the keys to the team. Pettersson had Horvat, etc... Theres plenty of examples of that.
Great examples, many didn’t even play in the nhl at 18, you are complaining on events that haven’t even happened yet. You have no clue what utilisation kk will have this year. Danault is a good two way 2c and should be utilised so
Well, first the excuse was that he was 18 and tired, now at 19 whats gonna be the excuse ? At 20 its gonna be that hes a winger ?
