I like this player and I was wondering how he's doing. I've red that he's not playing really well so far...is he turning things around? What do you guys expect from him this season?
He's a young player. There's nothing really to turn around. He's just learning. From what I've seen I think he can turn in a pretty reliable 18 minutes a night. We may have to wait until the midway point or so for the offense to come. There will be ups and downs this year.I like this player and I was wondering how he's doing.

Just wish he didn't pinch so often...other than that he's been good.
Pass Sami, it's ok to pass sometimes
Especially on the PP. FFS, every time he touches the puck he shoots. I get it, you've been encouraged to shoot, but don't be a bonehead about it.
Consider that his partner on the point is Fowler. I think I, as me, would shoot too.Especially on the PP. FFS, every time he touches the puck he shoots. I get it, you've been encouraged to shoot, but don't be a bonehead about it.

I might be watching something different but I'm quite disappointed that he doesn't shoot it more when on the PP.
I've see multiple times where he's had the opportunity to unload it from the point and hesitates and makes a pass instead of putting towards the net. Shooting is his strength. Often not when he makes the pass instead of unleashing a 1 timer or canon from the point it results in a weak uncontested wrister from Fowler on the other side.
The PP has been dismal for two simple reasons IMO. First the entry into the zone and secondly trying to make to make to many passes. The puck needs to go on net for you to have a chance at scoring.
So for what it's worth in regards to Sami I wish he would shoot a whole hell of a lot more from what my eyes have seen. Apparently you see something different but i've seen many open looks gone by the wayside because he was too timid or too much hesitation to shoot and make the cross ice pass to Fowler who then makes a desperation weak wrister with no traffic on net.
Just my 2 cents.
