I'm (probably foolishly) assuming Kunitz's days on the top unit are over with.
I'm tired of the overpassing and cutesy plays, too. But I don't want them getting TOO simple with it. Too much talent out there to be shrugging your shoulders and taking an unscreened bad angle shot just because it's there.
However there is never anything wrong with moving your feet, creating some confusion by moving the puck low to high, setting screens and then getting pucks through from the point. Which I'm guessing is more what you were referring to. I just don't want to see them shooting for the sake of shooting. Saw too much of that crap in the Disco years. Gretzky was only sorta right on that particular point, IMO.
