No some are talking like he will be a considerable upgrade.
This is simply different philosophy between posters i touched on earlier, if you go to the avs board they want consistency, they dont want the lines juggled at the first sign of trouble they want consistent lines even if it struggles, i also believe if something is not working you dont break it up right away, you need to give it a chance to build chemistry, we just started the season and some want to break up the first unit even already and its been the best it has been in some time. Some even want vrbata off the top line already which i find crazy.
I dont believe constantly juggling lines help matters, i am more patient and believe even if lines are struggling you dont start mixing and matching, you give them plenty of time to try to improve and build chemistry. It varies from person to person coach to coach. Coach q juggles his lines constantly during the game and some hawks fans hate it, pens fans however hated byslma kept his lines together all the time.
With that said and like I said earlier the 2nd unit is nearing the point here after this road trip where I would try kassian shortly and shake that unit up, but I also dont know if he improves the 2nd unit either.
