This isn't about tearing down Rakell. This is about a Cup contending team being forced to rely on a 21 year old. Rather than acquiring an actual proven 3C and making Rakell earn a spot in the playoffs with his play. I don't want to get rid of Rakell, but if BM doesn't get a 3C this summer I have serious doubts in this team's ability to win the Cup. BB needs to be able to roll 4 lines and it would be great to take some PK minutes from Getz.
I agree, but to blame the player is wrong. Was there anyone else on the roster that could have played the C role and done a better job than Rakell? If there was, then I digress.
If anything, this would be a Bob Murray issue, which I am not willing to kill him over it either since you can only do so much in a given amount of time and he did a great job filling many of the other holes on the roster. Not everything is going to be perfect and not every team is going to be void of holes. That's why fans must be patient with young players and understand there are going to be bumps in the road of a players development.
